A Christmas Carol (1951)
There have been a ton of different versions of this Christmas classic, but the
1951 version, starring Alastair Sim, is by far the best. Alastair Sim plays Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserable old man who has absolutely
no Christmas spirit. On Christmas Eve, Ebenezer is visited by
three ghosts (the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future), who remind him of why it's important to be around the people you love during
the holiday season.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
If you've never seen a National Lampoon movie, it's about time you did. The Griswalds are getting ready for Christmas and that means lots of laughs. Clark Griswald wants to give his family the best Christmas ever, but when things start to go wrong, it ends up being pretty horrible. This flick was made in the 80s, so you'll probably also get a kick out of all the funny outfits everyone's wearing!
Home Alone (1990)
Ahhhhhhhhh! The McCallister's are headed for
France for Christmas in this
holiday classic. But, they accidentally leave their eight year-old son Kevin behind at home! So, when a couple of
bone-headed burglars try to break into the McCallister house, Kevin launches into action and
teaches them a lesson or two about messing with other people's stuff.
The Santa Clause (1994)
Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) is
a workaholic who kind of lacks the Christmas spirit - that is, until Santa falls off his roof on Christmas Eve and dies. His son convinces him to try on Santa's suit, but what he doesn't realize is that by trying on
Santa's signature suit, he automatically becomes the new Santa! If you're looking for a festive flick with Tim Allen in it, check out
The Santa Clause - and skip
Christmas with the Kranks.
Elf (2003)
As a baby, Buddy (Will Ferrell) accidentally climbs into
Santa's sack and gets taken back to the
North Pole. Because he was an orphan, Santa and the elves decide to raise him as an elf, never telling him that
he's actually human. But one day, Buddy overhears some elves making fun of him for not cluing in that he's
not an elf. So, Buddy heads off to
New York City to find his real dad - in his head-to-toe elf costume. It's Will Ferrell dressed in
an elf's costume - you know it's going to be funny.
