Because we won't be around to write an article during the holiday season, we figured we would give you a list of some of the best movies of the season. These are in no particular order, because to us, it was way too hard to pick a favorite. Also, we had a deadline to meet. So here goes.
A Christmas Story (1983)- A story about a kid named Ralphie Parker, and his dream to get a Red Ryder BB gun. He has to overcome all the obstacles leading up to Christmas, including everyone telling him that the gun will make him 'shoot his eye out'. A instant holiday classic and a must see every year.
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)- Desperate to find a new department santa, Macy's executive Doris sets hires a man named Kris Kringle. Kris is insistent that he actually is Santa, but Doris and her daughter, among others are skeptic. Is he the real santa? Kris tries to prove himeself to be the real Santa in this unforgettable film.
Home Alone (1990)- Who hasn't seen this classic movie? Left at home by his whole family, Kevin McCallister tries to survive boredom, robbers, and the terrifying pigeon lady and shovel guy. Oh, and how could i forget, the single most horrifying furnace in any household imaginable.
A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)- Probably a favorite amongst most, A Charlie Brown Christmas takes us through the struggles of Charlie's attempt to run a Christmas pageant, and shows us in the end what the real meaning of Christmas is.
It's A Wonderful Life (1946)- An oldie but a goodie, "It's a Wonderful Life" is a story of a magnanimous business who fights against the power of greed. It's also a story about a man George, who gives up all of his dreams for the good of his town. An absolutely perfect movie for this time of the year.
Elf (2003)- A smash hit for the current generation. "Elf" is about an elf named Buddy, fresh off a trip from the North Pole to New York City, trying to fit in to his new lifestyle. Althought everything around hims is changing rapidly, Buddy never changed who he is, and eventually convinces the city, who is down on their 'Christmas spirit', to believe again.
