Love Actually (2003)

What a mix of several love-stories! It’s not realistic but all the same, it’s a pleasure to see one more Christmas fairy-tale. Christmas and love are indivisible here. Not all the stories end happily, but that doesn’t change the optimistic tune of the movie.

Jingle All the Way (1996)
A father can do anything to get his kid the newest toy. Especially if this father is built as Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, the best gift for his son, he understands, is his father with him. A touchy Christmas comedy with happy end, a good viewing for any family.
Rent-a-Kid (1995)
One may rent a car, a home, even a lamp. Why not rent a kid? Just to see how he or she suits into… you know… family. However, it turns out not to be that easy as with furniture: a lot of trouble but even more happiness in the end.
Miracle on 34th Street (1994)
A little girl is told that there is no Santa. However, she meets one somehow. So, dreams may indeed come true… if one firmly believes they will. Being a remake of famous movies of 1947, this one is also heart-touching and funny Christmas mood-improver to be viewed by the whole family.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)

download movie
How can 10-year-old boy feel once in New York without his mammy, daddy, brothers and sisters? Extremely happy, of course! Everything would be nice, if ‘wet bandits’ were not there. Nice for bandits, I mean. They suffer even more than in Part I, because the boy has grown up and grown smarter. A bright and funny family movie. If only kids were not trying to imitate Kevin’s tricks afterwards…
Curly Sue (1991)
Kind and funny comedy showing that even being hit by a car can turn out well. Little orphan Curly Sue (Alisan Porter) and beggar Bill Dancer (James Belushi) make you smile, giggle, laugh and finally even cry of emotions while you follow the plot of this movie. Everything ends fine, by the way.
Home Alone (1990)

download movie
A wonderful Christmas story! Little Kevin is left home by the entire family, and has to cope with two burglars who try to explore McCallisters’ house in search of probably a treasure. They chose the wrong house, though. Kevin tries on them all those dirty tricks he would have probably done to his brothers and sisters who treated him as… you know how it is in big families. “Never have laughed like that before” is the most usual comment after seeing this movie.
Christmas Vacation (1989)
The Christmas mood comes into your place directly from the screen. This is a really affecting comedy about crazy family and permanent jesting troubles happening with its every member.
Die Hard (1988)

download movie
When an ex-wife invites her ex-husband to come to California for the Christmas, there is nothing bad about it. Terrorists attacking the office building and taking dozens of people hostage are what is. So, John McClane (Bruce Willis), a New York cop, has to work overtime during his vacation to deliver his wife to finally spend the Christmas with her.
Black Christmas (1974)

download movie
The un-Christmas movie. It is definitely not about happy children unwrapping their gifts and happy moms and dads watching them do it. It’s about a psycho killing young girls who gathered to celebrate Christmas… their last one, as it turns out. A gloom and macabre, although stylish thriller. Fits one all right, if that one hates Christmas or loves horror on the screen.
It’s a Wonderful Life (1943)
When one is tire of life on a Christmas Eve, the best way to talk him out of suicide is to show what the life could have been without him. Then he realizes that his life is truly a beautiful one. This Christmas comedy, like wine, becomes only better with the time.









Some of these movies have no reason to be on this list. Serendipity? 8 Femmes? Where the hell is A Christmas Story?
I agree… This is a pretty lame list. I could have pulled a better list out of my …
Umm Die Hard, but not Long Kiss Goodnight? What about While You Were Sleeping? And Tim Allen’s Santa Clause (the first one only)?
Love actually was really a good one, just not a kid’s movie.
Fred Claus and not Elf? What a twisted list.
Any Christams movie list without “The Ref” just doesn’t cut it. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favour and rent or buy asap.
