What's Your Favorite Christmas Movie?

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 12/14/2011 - 10:29am

While talking about our all-time favorite Christmas movies, someone suggested that I turn our discussion into a blog post. There is no shortage of Christmas movies on TV, but you might have to put in a request to watch some of our favorites.

[1] How the Grinch Stole Christmas [1] - You will like this even if you don't like Jim Carrey.

[2] It's a Wonderful Life [2] - The most famous Christmas movie. EVER.

[3] A Charlie Brown Christmas [3] - I love it so much that I bought the Christmas tree.

[4] The Nightmare Before Christmas [4] - It works for Christmas... and Halloween

[5] Elf [5] - This movie combines the good ol' Christmas genre (talking claymation animals) with the new (sarcasm and man-child humor)
