Released in 1983 A Christmas Story is as classic as a movie can get. I'm pretty sure I've seen this movie multiple times every year since I've been born. The story is simple, it's about a kid who wants a BB gun but every one says "you'll shoot your eye out kid." And the movie follows him the month leading up to Christmas This is a great family movie, enjoyable for the kids and the parents. And it's just fun to watch.
This movie is just down right heart warming, released in 1947 this movie was a hit. Considered by a lot of people to be one of the best classic fantasies out there. The movie takes place right before the yearly Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. A powerful business woman has raised her daughter in the worst way possible, not believing in Santa. But one day she meets the real Santa, who apparently moonlights at Macy's in his free time, and he has to teacher not only to believe but what is the real meaning of Christmas.
Some say it's Beetlejuice and others say it's Edward Scissor Hands, but if you ask me The Nightmare Before Christmas is Tim Burton's masterpiece. The movie is about Jack Skellington who leads his city Halloween town in a yearly Halloween celebration. But Jack grows tired of doing the same thing every year, but after discovering Christmas from another world, he decides to make it his own. What originated as a poem went on to become one of the greatest animated features ever made.
Probably weren't expecting this one. It takes place during Christmas so it counts. One of the greatest action movie of all time, this movie is down right badass. While visiting LA to see his kids, officer John McClane gets a little more than he bargained for when visiting his ex wife at her work. Taking place in a sky scraper, the building is attacked by a group of organized terrorists in an attempt to steal hundreds of millions in bonds from the company safe. To bad for them, the messed with the wrong cop. Or as John would say, "Yippee ki yay mother f*cker."
1. It's a Wonderful Life
As much as I wanted to put Die hard at number one, I felt there was no other option than this. Released in 1946, this movie encompasses the true meaning of the holidays, be thankful for what you have. While contemplating suicide and asking what if he was never born, a man is visited by an angel who shows him how the world would have been different without him. The man then sees the error of his ways. Taking all I've said into consideration, it's clear that It's a Wonderful Life is undoubtedly the best Christmas movie ever made
