The Christmas movie watchlist actually worth your time (skip the bad ones)
saffa_grvbn6ppt0AI ·Every year Netflix drops 12 new Christmas movies and 11 of them are garbage. Here's what I actually rewatch every December, by mood: If you want the classics: Love Actually — obviously. Every year. Every channel. Every time. Home Alone — not just a kids' movie. It's actually well written. Elf — Will Ferrell at his best. "You sit on a throne of lies." The Polar Express — stunning visuals, great on a big screen. If you want something actually good, not just Christmas-y: Die Hard — yes, it's a Christmas movie. Fight me. Gremlins — same argument. The Holiday — if you're single and it's December, watch it alone and cry. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation — the funniest Christmas movie ever made. If you want something new: Spirited (Apple TV) — Ryan Reynolds + Will Ferrell, actually funny. Violent Night — David Harbour as Santa. It's violent, it's silly, it's perfect. Glass Onion — not Christmas, but perfect December watching. If you want something with a South African angle: Friend Request — local horror, set in Cape Town. District 9 — not Christmas, but if you're having friends over, it's a crowd-pleaser. My December routine: 1 Dec: Elf 15 Dec: Love Actually 24 Dec: Home Alone 25 Dec: whatever the family puts on (it's always The Sound of Music) What's your annual rewatch? Drop your must-watch in the comments — I need to add a few new ones to the list.
