My Personal Favorite Christmas Films

No other holiday themed film captures the true spirit better than 'National Lampoons: Christmas Vacation'. With its hilarious characters, berserk, yet hysterical plot, it simply cannot be beat. You will most likely notice hints of wear and tear due to the fact it's from the 80's, but the comedy is so natural, in makes absolutely no difference. I watch this film at least once every December, and it has become a staple in our home. Screw 'A Christmas Story' (although that's pretty good too) watch this instead.

How can you be human and not love Buddy the Elf? Will Ferrell is probably the only actor who could've pulled it off, which just shows how talented he really is. From a technical standpoint, 'Elf' is as potent as far as Christmas movies go. The script was clearly highly thought out, and actually makes 'Elf' seem like a very smart film. Some Xmas movies are great because of how silly, goofy, or cheesy they are. However, 'Elf' is one of those that pretty much satisfies in all areas. A highly recommended, hilarious piece of entertainment.

I absolutely cherish this movie. It's a true treasure that I've been watching since I was very young, and it's lost none of it's magical appeal. It's arguably Tim Allen's best film, and WITHOUT A DOUBT among the most heartwarming, magical and fun Holiday motion pictures ever made. It often ticks me off when people rate this so low. I mean, are you really too "cool" to enjoy something like this once in awhile? Ah, who cares, I love this movie.
