Die Hard
Marks the peak of the 1980’s action boom that made mega-stars out of the likes of Ah-nuld, Stallone and Van Damme.

Elf
A hilarious holiday film in which Ferrell continues to play the same adorable, naive persona he’s adopted as his shtick.

The Ref
Just because The Ref isn’t your typical Christmas movie doesn’t mean you should skip it. In fact, it should be just the opposite.

The Muppet Christmas Carol
Fun, but seems to be missing a magical tone that’d you’d hope for when combining the Muppets and Dickens.

Scrooge (A Christmas Carol)
The story is a timeless classic and this is the best direction translation the cinema has provided thus far.

Scrooged
Proves that remakes and new visions of old material need not be redundant.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Like a car accident unfolding before your eyes, it’s impossible to look away even if only to see how just bad it can get.

Ernest Saves Christmas
A reminder [that] movies don’t always have to be deep or artful to be enjoyable. Sometimes all you need is fun and a short nostalgia fix.

Miracle on 34th Street (1994)
While [this] version of the Christmas spirit on trial as written by John Hughes isn’t awful, it’s also more disappointing than Seaton’s take nearly half a century earlier.

Jack Frost (1997)
In making it horribly bad, Jack Frost is at the very least entertaining. And is there anything else you could ask for from a B-movie about a serial-killing snowman?
