it's Christmas time which means that the
film studios are celebrating the only
way they know how
with more Christmas movies if most of
them are mediocre some of them are even
truly garbage but there are plenty of
them out there that we're happy to watch
every single year for this list we're
only going with feature-length movies so
none of us 30 or 45 minute long
Christmas specials to see on TV sorry
I'm nervous Nick Chris Chris axe top 10
Christmas movies number 10
what's this a weird stop-motion musical
where a skeleton leaves Halloween town
to learn about Christmas sign us up for
this reverse Grinch holiday mashed up on
top of this being every email kids
favorite movie and sweatshirt and plush
and shoes and lamp and purse and cuckoo
clock The Nightmare Before Christmas is
loaded with amazing animation incredible
songs and its signature eerie Christmas
spirit we love this one for its ability
to walk the tightrope between terrifying
moments that are likely to haunt any
child's dreams to moments of genuine
Christmas Glee but can we talk about the
giant Michelin Man looking bugs stuffed
potato sack in the room roast and also
why but more importantly what's behind
the other holiday doors by having their
been sequels like come on Disney we got
three follow-ups to frozen but not one
for this and yes we know there's
supposed to be a sequel manga coming out
but that's not the same thing and you
know it number 9 it's Christmas time in
the hood and this is the part of the
script says I'm supposed to be sorry for
saying that but really I regret nothing
what do you get when you're robbed by
Santa Claus have to pay rent by the end
of the day and you and your friend are
both hired in fire two security guards
within the same Friday you'll get a
literal Christmas party Friday after
next is another on our list that earns
its spot by being a hilariously original
Christmas movie I defy any of you to
mention a film in the comments below
that better marries Christmas spirits
with pimps well hohoho indeed am i right
okay for real I need to get out sentry
quick seriously though it's a great
Christmas movie when you
meet something a little less kitty and
with a lot more fun and ultimately
Friday after next is packed with a great
holiday lesson it teaches us that
Christmas is less about material
possessions and more about not getting
caught by Damon unless of course you
have those pliers numbered 8 Charles
Dickens A Christmas Carol is an absolute
classic and it's been adapted a lot a
lot a lot so how do you make it fresh
throw in Bill Murray and make it a dark
comedy and when I say dark comedy I mean
dark comedy like get fired on Christmas
Eve and come back with a shotgun levels
of dark but what makes Scrooge so great
is Bill Murray's ability to crack us up
while doing the worst things imaginable
who else can make us laugh while
threatening to kill an entire room of
network executives now I have to kill
all of you yeah pretty sure Evan teasers
Scrooge doesn't do that in the original
at least not in my copy
Scrooge takes a story packed with
Christmas spirit and turns it on its
head and every year we look forward to
the ghostly visits taxi rights from hell
and watching Frank cross get Scrooge how
do you turn the death of Santa Claus
into a celebrated Christmas classic well
for starters you could force Tim Allen
the slowly transform into a grey old fat
man through a legal loophole oh that's
right the Santa Claus is one of those
weird nineties movies that seem to
spring up out of nowhere before anybody
had a chance to ask should we do this
should we but you know what I'm glad
they did we ended up with this movie
about Santa the North Pole magic and
learning how to maturely navigate the
minefield that is dealing with divorce
splitting up your holidays and appeasing
all three of your parents all wrapped up
in the classic Tim the tool man Taylor
humor the Santa Claus covers a lot of
ground in 97 minutes and if I've taken
anything away it's that I can murder a
person get off scot-free and also be
granted magical powers
watch your back Pope oh gee Joe number 6
ah yes a Kris mastery this movie must be
Italian I come on you knew this movie
was gonna be on the list how can we
count down the top 10 Christmas movies
without talking about Ralphie and his
adventures in A Christmas Story I mean
it channels every kid's based Christmas
desires
nobody wanted socks and pajamas we
especially didn't want a big pink bunny
onesie
nananana we all wanted toys I'm talking
dangerous toy exactly
Ralphie knows it's up Ralphie's also the
kid that we all once were and a
Christmas story perfectly captures a
childhood Christmas you know with your
parents obsessing over a leg shaped lamp
getting your tongue stuck to a pole and
of course lying to your parents when you
immediately shoot yourself in the eye
which can you be done worth it number
five come up to the coal Lincoln
together or have a few laps and also
make one of the greatest action movies
of all time there's an endless debate
about whether die hard is really a
Christmas movie and I'm here to say it
because yes it is it's a story about
John McClane trying to patch things up
with his wife whose name is Holly by the
way while he tries to get a group of
people home for Christmas on Christmas
Eve with a ton of Christmas music in the
background you see the 12 evil henchmen
like what else do you want a message
from Santa Hey it puts me in the spirit
all right
diehard is truly one of the best action
movies of all time and the fact that we
get to enjoy it during the holidays is
one of the greatest Christmas presents
there is and as the ancient internet
saying goes it's not Christmas until
Hans Gruber falls off of Nakatomi plasma
nice
number four nothing says Christmas like
getting Santa wrapped up in complicated
legalese meets seriously between the
Santa Clause in miracle and 34th Street
I'm really starting to wonder what this
fascination is with Santa and the law
true he commits a couple billion
viennese every Christmas but as long as
we've got that Nintendo switch on the
tree
you don't Madden I but that's a topic
for another time Miracle on 34th Street
is a heartwarming Christmas tale that
isn't just about believing in Santa but
it's also about believing in what Santa
represents this idea that being kind and
putting forth goodwill towards all men
is more important than anything else
it's beautiful
oh and by now I hope you've realized
we're talking about the og Miracle on
34th Street not the remake with Matilda
that's garbage
also how come the movie poster for the
remake looks just like that one iconic
scene from The Exorcist did did nobody
else know me else noticed that does that
just mean number three now for one of
the most celebrated Christmas movies of
the last 15 years elf from the moment
buddy the elf hopped into our lives it
became an instant classic who would have
guessed that Will Ferrel playing at
giant elf would not only be funny but
one of the best Christmas movies ever it
celebrates the silly side of the holiday
when Farrell's signature act like a
toddler style of humor
while at the same time highlighting
classic Christmas movie themes like
family and blinging in the Christmas
spirit and stuff like that plus it
starts out with nods to all those great
animated rankin/bass Christmas specials
I mean what's more Christmas Eve met
tyrion lanister running down a table and
beating the crap at a Will Ferrell his
Henson's got that to number two all
Clark Griswold wants to do is have a fun
old-fashioned family Christmas instead
he gets a traditional National Lampoon
myths adventure in National Lampoon's
Christmas vacation Clark is your average
family man who try as he might to hold
his cap cap happy Christmas demeanor
together is ready to blow his fuse at
any given moment and who could blame him
I mean his family gets run off the road
your unwanted relatives show up
unannounced Clark doesn't get a
Christmas bonus that he's already spent
it Mets must put tip of the iceberg
that's the fun of this movie Chevy Chase
about to lose his mind makes us all
laugh
we've all experienced our fair share of
Christmas chaos this movie plays up
holiday staples and exaggerates them too
ridiculous in hilarious new levels and
while we can all relate to the holiday
stress at least a SWAT team has it
busted into our homes and held us at
gunpoint and as far as I know my cat is
still alive just a side note
Christmas vacation also happens to be my
dad's all-time favorite movie this one's
for you Padre it's Christmas Carol yes
number one on our list is another
adaptation of A Christmas Carol but not
only is the Muppet Christmas Carol the
definitive version of the story it's
also the greatest Christmas movie period
the Muppets were made to adapt this
story Kermit as Bob Cratchit Waldorf and
Statler as the Marley's and Fozzie Bear
has fozziwig oh it fits so well The
Muppets treatment not only breathes new
life into this classic tale but it also
makes for a great Christmas movie in its
own right it's packed with great
original songs and a fresh take on the
story through gonzo and Rizzo's
narration also Sir Michael Caine as
Ebenezer Scrooge the Muppet Christmas
carol is funny heartwarming and anchored
by a Christmas story synonymous with the
day itself
god bless us everyone
for the secret number 11 we're gonna
break our own rules just a little bit
because screw it it's Christmas this one
goes out to all the animated Christmas
specials Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
a Charlie Brown Christmas Frosty the
Snowman in my favorite How the Grinch
Stole Christmas
although it does feel like I'm
forgetting something
