Top 10 Christmas Movies Of All Time
Hello and welcome back to Most Amazing Top Ten!
I am Rebecca Felgate and I am really really really excited about Christmas.
Today we are talking about the Top 10 Christmas Movies of All Time….I am PUMPED.
PS….don’t forget at the end of this video to hit the thumbs up button and tell us what
you hope Santa will bring you this year!
Okay, launching in to this list with a nice transitional Christmas movie, and a personal
favourite, we have the Nightmare Before Christmas at number 10.
This 1993 movie solves so many of my autumnal issues.
I always want to start watching Christmas films the moment it gets cold, but I don’t
want my festive excitement to peak too soon.
The Nightmare Before Christmas is great because it is both a Halloween and a Christmas film,
which means that it is acceptable to start watching it early October.
This baby has a fresh rating of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s undeniably a goodie.
9 - A Christmas Story I have to admit, I had never heard of this
film until I moved to Canada.
It seems like it is a huge favourite in North America while a lot of us over in the rest
of the world haven’t heard of it.
I watched it last Christmas eve and it is an American classic indeed.
The story is about a kid who wants a BB gun for Christmas, meanwhile his parents get cheeky
leg lamp.
You have to watch it to understand it for yourself.
Rotten Tomatoes gives it 89%.
All aboard the Polar Express at number 8.
Oh this is a beauty isn’t it!
An animated icy treat with the voice of Tom Hanks as the train conductor, the Polar Express
was released in 2004.
Visually stunning, this movie really feels like Christmas to me!
A steam train is pretty much my actual dream, too!
And, if that wasn’t enough, Santa is even there!
Rotten Tomatoes only gave it a rating of 55….which I think is not fair.
This next movie IS Christmas to me.
I don’t about the rest of you, but in the UK, this is always on on Christmas Eve, and
I sit around with my family, mince pie in hand, enjoying it.
I am talking about The Snowman at number 7.
We’re walllllkkkking in the air!
The Snowman is actually an animated short of a Children’s book.
It is just 26 minutes long, but packs all the festive punch of a Christmas classic.
The reason this 1982 film appeals to so many people is that we all know what it is like
to be a child who builds a snowman, and wants it to stay alive forever….
But we all know what happens to snow.
I really think it is beautiful, like a children’s book come alive…which of course is what
it is.
Rotten tomatoes gives it 92% which is fair.
Okay, I totally get that our next movie isn’t the best by any stretch of the film making
imagination, but it is a goodie anyway….
We have Jingle All The Way at Number 6 PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN!
There is one big reason this Christmas movie is awesome, and it stats with Arnold and ends
with Schwartzenegger.
We all know what it is like to be a child who really wants a certain toy for Christmas…
and I guess some of us know what it is like to be a parent afraid of disappointing a child
at Christmas.
This 1997 film is for adults and children alike, and I dare you not to laugh out loud
at how enjoyably ridiculous it is at times.
Rotten tomatoes gives it just 17 percent whichI think is a bit harsh.
It has stood the test of time and I try and watch it at least once each holiday season.
Coming into number 5, we have The Grinch.
You’re a mean one, Mr Grinch…..
I love the Grinch.
Dr Zeus knows where it is at with a Christmas tale, and this 2000 on screen adaptation is
a visual stunner.
Whoville is pretty lols, and don’t we all want Cindy Loo Who hair and a Grinch Christmas
sweater.
The dog, too, the dog is golden.
I love how cheeky and sinister the Grinch is, and then his moment of realisation when
he starts to feel the true spirit of Christmas.
Rotten Tomatoes only gives it 53%, but like….
Come on!
Where is there spirit of Christmas?
ABSOLUTELY at number 4 - we have the one and only Muppets Christmas Carol
There goes Mr Humbug, there goes Mr Grim.
The Muppets Christmas Carol puts a fun and energetic spin on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas
Carol.
The 1992 movie is enjoyable, even 25 years after its release, and is filled with songs
to get viewers in the Christmas spirit.
I love Kermit as Bob Cratchit….I also love Marley and Marleyy…wooooo.
Rotten Tomatoes gives it 69%.
Coming I to number 3, we have Love Actually .
YES.
I love Love Actually, there are so many good stories in this one movie.
It is more of an adult Christmas film, which is cool as Christmas is for life, not just
for pre teens.
The 2003 movie is often billed as the ultimate Romantic comedy, which I can agree with.
It has tears, heartbreak, first loves, last loves, stolen kisses, snow flakes and mince
pies.
Oh, and a kid dressed as an octopus…which is a personal favourite.
It has 63% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I personally think Bill Nighy’s performance alone deserves
more than that on its own.
Elf SANTA……
!!!!! Will Ferrell’s portrayal of Buddy the elf is infectious.
I am a big fan of Elf, I think the story is excellent and heart warming.
Not only do we get to enjoy sights of New York City and Christmas, we also get to experience
the NORTH friggin pole.
Zoey Deschanel also gives a great performance as Jovi, the mall elf.
The 2003 classic gained itself 84% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is pretty great for a Christmas
film.
Finally, the big guns at number one, it isn’t Christmas until you have watched Home Alone.
KEEP THA CHANGE, YOU FILTHY ANIMAL…..It is all about Home Alone for me!
This was Macaulay Culkin’s finest moment, and his hands clapped around his face on the
cover of the Home Alone VHS, yes, VHS, is what I need to get in the festive spirit.
1990s movie Home Alone tugs at all of our inner kids that want to order pizza, play
games and dance around the house responsibility free all day.
Even the trap setting looked fun.
VIA LA HOME ALONE.
It is criminal Rotten Tomatoes only gave it 55%..... good job I made the list and they
didn’t, hey!!!!
SO that was the top 10- best Christmas movies of
all time!
Do you agree with me?
Let me know!
