We do not watch Miracle on 34th street, or It's a Wonderful Life. Those are tired and boring. What we do watch are non-traditional movies that take place at Christmas time. It makes the holidays more fun, if you ask me.
Actually, I have noticed recently that this is becoming a trend - more and more people are watching bizarro Christmas movies and saving Charlie Brown Christmas for the kids. Or, if you're like us, you watch The Ref with your 10-year-old last night because you wanted to.
Here is a list of my favorite Christmas movies, with trailers attached for your viewing pleasure:
Die Hard:
(You can add Die Hard 2 to that, also, since it takes place at Christmas time as well)
The Ref (This is a fan trailer, as there is no official trailer available on YouTube right now):
Gremlins:
Lethal Weapon:
Edward Scissorhands:
And the one movie that is an actual Christmas movie that we watch every year, Scrooged, with Bill Murray:
It's been a family tradition for over 20 years now to watch Die Hard on Christmas Eve and order pizza. It's one I hope to carry on with my kids. Definitely one of the best Christmas movies!
