The Best Christmas Movies For Every Mood

By LINDSEY BAHR and JAKE COYLE, Associated Press ‘Tis the season for spirited and winless debates about what the best Christmas movie is. No one needs us to remind you about the obvious holiday movies playing on repeat on cable, whether it’s “It’s a Wonderful Life”, “Home Alone” or “Love, Actually,” or even those holiday adjacent classics like “Eyes Wide Shut” and “The Godfather.” But perhaps you are looking to go beyond the obvious this year (sorry, “Christmas Story,” “White Christmas” etc, etc). Associated Press Film Writers Jake Coyle and Lindsey Bahr have you covered with the best Christmas films for every mood. A movie that feels like a Christmas movie but isn’t, really This image released by Criterion shows Adrien Brody in a scene from the 2014 film “The Grand Budapest Hotel.” (Criterion via AP) “Grand Budapest Hotel”: Truthfully, there’s nothing outside of a little snow to make Wes Anderson’s 2014 delight a Christmas movie.

  • What are the best Christmas movies of all time? : r/movies
    So many other great movies are being mentioned that might be more Christmassy (Elf is probably the most Christmassy movie I have ever seen), but It's A Wonderful Life is near-perfect when it comes to actual filmmaking and writing. It's such a work of art. I think, for that reason, it's perhaps the greatest Christmas movie of all time.

  • Too many Christmas movies. Which ones are actually good?
    Cast for Christmas, Falling for Christmas, the Princes ones, that Storm one, et cetera. Are there some christmas movies that have a minimum of originality? EDIT so I watched Klaus and that is indeed wonderful. EDIT-THE-SECOND Boy Called Christmas is not bad, but the evil queen character was totally superfluous.

  • Best Christmas films from the past 10-15 years? : r/movies
    Great Christmas movie, too, though it is similar to It's a Wonderful Life in the amount of darkness that it carries within it. It isn't the feel-good adventure that one might be expecting. It isn't the feel-good adventure that one might be expecting.

  • Easiest way to create a Christmas collection? : r/PleX
    Came here looking for an answer, it would appear not. There is no 'filter' for Holiday or Christmas movies. I created mine from keyword searches: Christmas, Santa, Elf etc. Then add all the famous movies and see what recommendations are beneath each like It's a Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th St. People have holidays Plex.. feature request?..
