In the grand tradition of holiday list making, I offer my list of absolutely go to every year holiday movies to watch, and when. Brooke and I have differing tastes for these, so I (and she) end up watching a lot more that maybe wouldn't make our own lists, but here we go with:
Top Five Christmas Movies!:
- Elf (this one lands near the top of both our lists)
- Love Actually (after some post Me-Too hemming and hawwing over this one, I've brought it back into my fold - of course not every character is fully virtuous nor all their actions blameless, but name me an interesting movie where that is the case! It's such an overall emotional build-up, absurd and completely unrealistic and I love it!)
Both of these first two movies are ones that we often first watch early on in the season, and then again closer to Christmas Day (although Brooke's love of #2 has not recovered much after taking a hit around 2017... - Die Hard (Sorry, Obama, but this is definitely a Christmas movie, and it's a banger!)
- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
- The Holiday
I'll finish this post later, but wanted to get it up and running to start the conversation!...
