My Epic Christmas movie watch-list
I don't know about you but sometimes watching the same type of Christmas movie every day until Christmas (starting after thanksgiving if that's what you do) can get boring after the first two movies. So, I like to mix the genres of my Christmas movies to keep things more interesting and exciting - if you know what I mean.

- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsBruce WillisAlan RickmanBonnie BedeliaA New York City police officer tries to save his estranged wife and several others taken hostage by terrorists during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles.You need to have a good action flick to watch during the season. This is the best one.
- DirectorJalmari HelanderStarsJorma TommilaOnni TommilaPeeter JakobiIn the depths of the Korvatunturi mountains, 486 meters deep, lies the closest ever guarded secret of Christmas. The time has come to dig it up. This Christmas everyone will believe in Santa Claus.Mix things up and watch this unique and eerie tale about Santa.
- DirectorJoe RothStarsTim AllenJamie Lee CurtisDan AykroydWith their daughter, Blair, away in Peru, Luther and Nora Krank decide to skip Christmas all together until she decides to come home, causing an uproar when they have to celebrate it at the last minute.I know it's cheesy and has a low rating, but its really fun and has a great message in the end - a good heart-warming comedy for the season.
- DirectorJon FavreauStarsWill FerrellJames CaanBob NewhartRaised as an oversized elf, Buddy travels from the North Pole to New York City to meet his biological father, Walter Hobbs, who doesn't know he exists and is in desperate need of some Christmas spirit.You can't go wrong with Will Ferrel at Christmas. You want the laughs, go with Elf.
- DirectorDavid DobkinStarsVince VaughnPaul GiamattiElizabeth BanksFred Claus, Santa's bitter older brother, is forced to move to the North Pole to help Santa and the elves prepare for Christmas in exchange for cash.A good little Christmas story with some hit or miss humor, but none-the-less a worthy addition to my list.
- DirectorChris ColumbusStarsMacaulay CulkinJoe PesciDaniel SternAn eight-year-old troublemaker, mistakenly left home alone, must defend his home against a pair of burglars on Christmas Eve.Great classic Christmas movie. Plenty of laughs and good family story.
- DirectorChris ColumbusStarsMacaulay CulkinJoe PesciDaniel SternOne year after Kevin McCallister was left home alone and had to defeat a pair of bumbling burglars, he accidentally finds himself stranded in New York City - and the same criminals are not far behind.Just as good as the first, but don't try to watch any of the others.
- DirectorRon HowardStarsJim CarreyTaylor MomsenKelleyOn the outskirts of Whoville lives a green, revenge-seeking Grinch who plans to ruin Christmas for all of the citizens of the town.Great movie! Fun to watch. Its a good idea to have a variety of Christmas movies that are not all the same type of movie. Sure, its the remake of a classic but its just as good.
- DirectorSeth GordonStarsReese WitherspoonVince VaughnMary SteenburgenA couple struggles to visit all four of their divorced parents on Christmas.Haven't watched it yet, but I plan to this Christmas season. I heard it was great and my friend recommended it to me.
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsJim CarreyGary OldmanColin FirthAn animated retelling of Charles Dickens' classic novel about a Victorian-era miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions.Who doesn't have at least one of the versions of this one on their list. Personally, I like this one the best.
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsTom HanksChris CoppolaMichael JeterOn Christmas Eve, a young boy embarks on a magical adventure to the North Pole on the Polar Express, while learning about friendship, bravery, and the spirit of Christmas.Great movie. Great visuals. Great story with a message for everyone that is relevant to the Christmas season. Believe!
- DirectorJohn PasquinStarsTim AllenJudge ReinholdWendy CrewsonWhen a man inadvertently makes Santa fall off his roof on Christmas Eve, he finds himself magically recruited to take his place.I never fail to watch this one during Christmas.
- DirectorBrian LevantStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerSinbadPhil HartmanA father vows to get his son a Turbo Man action figure for Christmas. However, every store is sold out, and he must travel all over town and compete with everybody else in order to find one.Not many people seem to like this one. But, I loved it as a kid and still love it (if not because I loved it when I was a kid). Its plain good fun.
- DirectorTroy MillerStarsMichael KeatonKelly PrestonJoseph CrossA father who can't keep his promises is killed in a car accident. One year later, he returns as a snowman who has the final chance to put things right with his son before he is gone forever.It's funny and heartwarming. Plus, ever since Tim Burton's Batman movies, Michael Keaton is awesome. This is a very enjoyable family film.
