Best Christmas films
Happy and festive first, then a bit scary (starting with A Christmas Carol), sci-fi and action, and then just scary. Christmas comedies and Christmas thriller/horror films in one list)) For any mood. I added just the best ones IMHO, The ones I've rated 8-10.
At the end there are also some Bmovies, 7 and 6 stars. However, there is one that I've rated 3.. It's so bad , it's good XD The facial expressions of the main protagonist are just incredible XD But beware, once again it is bad! Only for extreme Bmovies lovers XD It's Silent Night, Deadly Night 2.
And after that amazingly bad film there are some normal films that aren't the best, that I have rated 6ish, but they still have Christmas spirit and some other good characteristics and deserve to be known.
