Ranking of 17 Christmas movies
Charlie Brown
This classic movie is so heartwarming. That lil’ tree, the cute lil’ guys, the music, it’s all just so good.
Home Alone
KEVIN!!
Elf
Son of a nutcracker, this movie is hilarious.
Nightmare Before Christmas
Doubles as a Halloween and a Christmas movie.
Christmas Vacation
They start singing the national anthem after the little toy Santa starts flying away and nothing is funnier.
It’s a Wonderful Life
Yeah, it seems like a boring old black-and-white film, but it’s actually pretty funny, very emotional, and has a really nice message.
Original Grinch
A classic that isn’t horribly creepy. Rhymes and has a fun song and good message.
Rudolph
Cute with good lessons. A movie that should never be skipped during the holiday season.
Newer Grinch
Same story, but funnier. Also, quite a bit creepier. Baby Grinch… eek!
Santa Clauses
The original is the best, it kind of went downhill from there.
Christmas Shrek
What is better than Shrek and all of his friends hanging out in a snowy swamp? Nothing.
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Pretty weird, but also somewhat decent. So very 70’s.
Christmas Carol
This version of the Charles Dickens novel is pretty neat, but also kind of haunting.
Frosty
Yeah, we all grew up watching it, but let’s face it, this movie was super annoying.
Miracle on 34th St.
This movie might be a classic, but it’s also super boring.
Krampus
They got the whole thing wrong. They screwed up an actual German legend and made it so stupid and dumb. Really not memorable, and not exciting.
Polar Express
Ick. The one kid that looks like Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle is really annoying. Creepy animation. Creepy elves. Creepy music. Creepy ghost guy. Creepy everything! Tom Hanks’s biggest mistake to date.
