Bruce Willis leaping around bare-footed, white-vested, machine gun in tow; what’s not to love? Yippee-kay-yay motherf*ckers!
2.) Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)
It’s become tradion that on Christmas Eve my mother and I watch this film. I absolutely love it, probably Vincente Minnelli’s best in my opinion. One of Judy Garland’s finest performances. It’s also worth checking out her rendition of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” on her Christmas Show from 1963 where she sings it to her kids, Joey and Lorna.
3.) It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)
Sorry for being such a cliché, at least I didn’t put it at #1 like most people though!
4.) White Christmas (1954)
Probably the quintessential Christmas movie. If it’s not on TV over the holidays, it’s just not Christmas. Features the highest-selling Christmas record of all time.
5.) The Family Stone (2005)
Honestly this isn’t as bad as you’re probably thinking it is. In fact, it’s really quite decent. But then again, I’m biased, I love SJP. And Diane Keaton is wonderful too.
Others that I love: Holiday Inn (1942), Die Hard 2 (1990), The Hebrew Hammer (2003), Bad Santa (2003), Scrooged (1988).
