What’s the Best Christmas Movie?
I'm the first to admit that I love a good Christmas movie. I've literally watched some of my favorites dozens of times, and I still like them! Well, Rotten Tomatoes released their Top 25 Best Christmas Movies of All Time. Their scores are a combination of critics' and viewers' scores for the best Christmas movies -- what do you think, any glaring omissions?
Below are the top 10 Christmas movies they listed. The only one I find egregious is that Elf is number 14, when clearly it's number one :-).
- 10
Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010)
Critics Consensus: Rare Exports is an unexpectedly delightful crossbreed of deadpan comedy and Christmas horror.
- 9
Trading Places (1983)
Critics Consensus:Featuring deft interplay between Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, Trading Places is an immensely appealing social satire.
- 8
A Christmas Story (1983)
Critics Consensus:Both warmly nostalgic and darkly humorous, A Christmas Story deserves its status as a holiday perennial.
- 7
Arthur Christmas (2011)
Critics Consensus: Aardman Animations broadens their humor a bit for Arthur Christmas, a clever and earnest holiday film with surprising emotional strength.
- 6
It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
Critics Consensus:The holiday classic to define all holiday classics, It's a Wonderful Life is one of a handful of films worth an annual viewing.
- 5
Die Hard (1988)
Critics Consensus:Its many imitators (and sequels) have never come close to matching the taut thrills of the definitive holiday action classic.
- 4
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Critics Consensus:The Nightmare Before Christmas is a stunningly original and visually delightful work of stop-motion animation.
- 3
Stalag 17 (1953)
Critics Consensus: Stalag 17 survives the jump from stage to screen with flying colors, thanks to Billy Wilder's typically sterling direction and a darkly funny script.
- 2
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
Critics Consensus:Irrefutable proof that gentle sentimentalism can be the chief ingredient in a wonderful film, Miracle on 34th Street delivers a warm holiday message without resorting to treacle.
- 1
Holiday Inn (1940)
Critics Consensus:With the combined might of Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, and Irving Berlin working in its favor, Holiday Inn is a seasonal classic - not least because it introduced "White Christmas" to the world.
