Xmas Movies: Top 10 of All-Time

Christmas has never been better celebrated by sitting in front of the fireplace, having some of your favorite egg nog and watching your favorite Xmas Movies. Here's a list of the Top 10 Christmas movies of 2008:

10 - A Christmas Carol (1951)
Based on Charles Dickens' novel, A Christmas Carol tells the tale of a grumpy broker named Ebeneezer Scrooge, who's only emotion towards the Holiday season is "Bam-Humbug!" His miserable, cold attitude is reversed when three ghosts visit him and warn him of his impending lonely death. Can Ebeneezer change his substandard ways in time to celebrate Christmas the right way?

9 - Elf (2003) starring Will Ferrell
I'm not usually a Will Ferrell fan, to be quite frank, I find him and his characters annoying. I actually saw this film for the first time this year, at a friend's house. I was surprised to find myself laughing at "Buddy's" antics, and also a little touched to see how his childlike enthusiasm worked magic on the others around him. Besides, it actually is fun to watch a really tall guy wearing a ridiculous looking green suit and tights running around New York City. I guess I'll have to make an exception and let Elf schmaltz into my holidays from now on, although it's not really one to share with younger kids.

8 - The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Animated
Jack Skellington, the "Pumpkin King" of Halloween Town, is bored and sets out to find something new to do. When he stumbles into Christmas Town, Jack decides to recreate Christmas in Halloween style, with ghouls, goblins, and a coffin "sleigh", drawn by skeletal reindeer. Jack also assumes the duties of Santa Claus to deliver toys across the world, with unusual consequences.

7 - National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989) starring Chevy Chase
Number seven is truly a classic Christmas comedy. The Griswold family struggles to have an old-fashioned Christmas. With crazy Christmas lights, Cousin Eddie, and squirrels hiding in trees, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation will keep you laughing all night long.

6 - Bad Santa (2003) starring Billy Bob Thornton
Do I really want to admit I like this film? Thornton's character has a dubious plan to rob a department store by dressing like Santa. He then proceeds on a crazy spree including getting drunk, beating up little kids, and cursing throughout. It may not sound like it, but there is a goodwill message hidden somewhere within. Yeah, this is not a family film - but it is pretty funny.

5 - Scrooged (1988)
Bill Murray stars as Frank Cross, a cynical TV executive, who just can't get into the Christmas spirit. When the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future visit him, Frank realizes it's time to make a change.

4 - The Santa Clause (1994)
Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) is reading his son Charlie a Christmas story one night when he hears something on the roof. After frightening Santa to death, Scott must take over as the new Santa. Charlie likes the fact his dad is Santa, but Scott doesn't believe it -- until his hair turns white and he puts on a couple pounds. Can Scott keep his new secret from his unsuspecting family?

3 - Miracle on 34th Street (1947) starring Maureen O'Hara
Schmaltzy? Sure. Love it anyway, and embrace that belief that there really is a Santa. Maureen O'Hara is of course stunningly glamorous. Black and white or colorized, it's a great film.

2 - It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
Given the financial events of this year, this one was a close one, almost got number one for me. Sometimes it's hard to remember that everyone's life makes a difference, and that your family needs you. Get everyone to sit down together and watch it, enough said.

This leads us to the number one Christmas movie to watch in 2008:

1 - A Christmas Story (1983)
Probably the most popular Christmas movie ever made, A Christmas Story is a tale of a young boy, Ralphie, who wants nothing more than a Red Ryder BB rifle for Christmas. Does Ralphie ever get his one and only wish? Bunny outfits, leg lamps, and "You'll shoot your eye out, kid!" will keep you laughing until next Christmas.

Ho, ho, ho, and pass the popcorn. Enjoy!
