Baumer's 50 Best Christmas movies of all time

Recommended Posts





It's odd to me how Polar Express is still re-released in theaters every year. Don't really know anyone who likes it (the book is awesome though).

 

Also, The Apartment is one of my favorite movies of all-time, I just don't really associate it as a Christmas movie (though if Die Hard qualifies, that certainly does).

people who say die hard is their favourite christmas movie are lame. i'm very genre strict. if the narrative isn't in some way focused on christmas i won't recognise it as a christmas movie in my church.

This thread is totally gonna devolve into: Is _______ a Christmas movie??

Is The Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween or Christmas movie?!

 

The recent Honest Trailer they did for it is the most accurate one they've ever done. :lol:

Well I'm not 100% on the same page as you I have to say that I do agree with most of this. I'll be honest and say that there will be a few movies on this list like Die Hard that aren't exactly the traditional Christmas movie. But that's about it just a few. I would probably say without going through the list and doing the exact calculations probably 95% of this list is going to be movies with strong Christmas themes. Not necessarily films that take place around Christmas time. Now having said that die hard is just an awesome staple of Awesomeness and it is played in my household every year around Christmas time so it absolutely will make this list.

i'm pretty adamant on nightmare before christmas as a christmas movie (henry selick said halloween but he's wrong). you're spending your time with the halloween town characters but through the whole movie the plot is they're learning about christmas, the whole climax is christmas eve they have to save santa at the end. watching it at christmas just feels more right.
