Somewhat bored this morning, with a serious lack of food in the pantry, none of my sports teams in action, and nothing interesting to read (script wise). I did however find the above lists on Collider which definitely spoke to me. Although there are probably a few dozen major beliefs about films that I disagree with, one of the foremost is that A Christmas Story is a great film and the best Christmas film ever. I've seen it a few times, it's always spoken about, Christians seem to love it, but I completely don't understand it. I'm apparently just a cold hearted Jew who doesn't know the joy of wanting a pop gun and finding one waiting for me under a tree. Hmm.
But I what I do know, even as a Jew, is that there are dozens of great holiday film (primarily 4 quadrant films) that are around every Christmas, and there are more than a few that I love to watch every single year. Now it's time for the top 10 Christmas Movies according to Catatouille (part Jew, part Kitten)
1) DIE HARD
2) ELF
3) HOME ALONE
4) GREMLINS
5) OCEANS 11
6) DIE HARD 2 : DIE HARDER
7) TRADING PLACES
8) LETHAL WEAPON
9) SCROOGED
10) THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Close to making the list but missed the cut: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Bad Santa, The World is Not Enough. A Muppets Christmas Carol, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
