Top 10 Favorite Christmas Movies…What are yours?

Everyone loves a great list. And for me, a list of my top ten favorite Christmas movies is an easy list to make. Which one of these is also yours?

A Charlie Brown Christmas: Have you ever noticed that Linus drops his security blanket when he says, “Fear Not”? Watch it here.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York: I was born in New York so this one brings back a ton of memories of when I was a kid there. I miss the sights, sounds and smells of the city. Nothing like a good street dog to take you back there. My favorite parts, however, were the wet bandits. And this one took things up a notch.
Batman Returns Because there is no rest for the bat when the world is in trouble and there’s no one else to stop it. I could have easily done without all the raw fish eating but…oh well. It’s Batman.
Die Hard: Alan Rickman. And that’s all I need to say about that.
Santa vs The Snowman: This was an obscure movie that was shown once on a network and then went straight to DVD. It features an all-out battle between Santa and the Snowman in the style of Empire Strikes Back. It released in 1997 and was in 3D. After I fell in love with it, I had searched for it hoping to find it on DVD. My sweetheart gave it to me the following year for Christmas.
Scrooge (Albert Finney): A movie that taught me that even the most evil incarnate person can change when they are scared enough into making that much needed change. Reason why I prefer Albert Finney is because he was the most convincing. It was also the scariest.
The Little Drummer Boy: Growing up poor, this one is dear to my heart. It’s message to me is one that says, “I don’t have much but I’ll give you my talent. It’s all I have.”
The Santa Clause: I think I like this one because it takes the worst of circumstances for Charlie with the divorce of his parents and turns those circumstances into something healing .
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: Because I’d thought it’d be cool to have your own island with other misfits living with you away from civilization. So was King Moonracer supposed to be Aslan?
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation With cousin Eddie in the house this one boils down to the one thing I can identify with in extended family…dysfunction. But then again who hasn’t thought of kidnapping their boss so that he can see how he affects your family?
