What makes a Christmas movie a classic in your eyes? Every year new Christmas movies are produced. Some Christmas movies become classics and some are quickly forgotten. What elements compel you to watch a movie year after year? What makes a movie a Top Christmas Movie that you just need to see? I have picked some of the best Christmas movies you will find. Let me know if you agree with my family holiday movies must watch list.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>For me, a movie is worth watching if it tugs at my heartstrings. The following movies make me cry and laugh; they generate warm fuzzy feelings. These movies made my must-see list because the first time I watched them was with people that I love, and I continue to watch them each year.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MY LIST: TOP CHRISTMAS MOVIES<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/strong>It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) -Get it here: <\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

George Bailey has really had a wonderful life; he just doesn’t know it. It is up to Clarence, the angel-in-training, to convince George that his life was really worth living. George has wanted to get out of Bedford Falls his entire life and see the world. He has never accomplished his life goal. When faced with the prospect of losing it all and maybe even serving jail time, George wishes he had never been born. Clarence helps make that wish come true. He knows George has really had a wonderful life, but can Clarence convince George of that? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many times have you seen this movie? How many times do you cry while watching this movie? I have viewed It’s a Wonderful Life at least 40 times in my life. I consistently shed tears at the same point in this movie. The only thing that would improve this movie is if Mr. Potter was arrested and thrown in jail! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not have one favorite line from this movie; there are too many exceptional lines. Clarence says, “Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?” I would like to believe that in some way, I have touched other lives and made a difference for them. In the inscription in the book at the end, Clarence has written, “Remember, George, no man is a failure who has friends.” And the line that I am sure shocked viewers when this movie originally was released in 1946, “He’s making violent love to me mother.” <\/span><\/span>
\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elf (2003) Get it here <\/strong>–<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even though Elf was released just a few years ago (2003), it still has all the elements that make it a classic. It doesn’t matter how many times I watch this movie, I cry and laugh every single time. Buddy the Elf was brought to the North Pole when he was just a baby. He has been raised by an elf, and Buddy thinks he is an elf. When he finally realizes he just doesn’t fit in with the elves, Santa tells him the truth. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After realizing he is not an elf, Buddy sets off for New York City to find his real father. The only problem is that Buddy doesn’t understand that the residents of NYC don’t believe in elves. I love Buddy’s childlike qualities, and how he views the world with awe and amazement. My favorite line in this movie is said by Buddy the Elf, “The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Best<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) Get it here<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Charlie Brown is depressed, and at Lucy’s suggestion, decides to direct a play. He then determines that the play needs a Christmas tree to help set the mood. Faced with the task of selecting the Christmas tree, he chooses the only live tree on the lot. When he returns with “a Charlie Brown” Christmas tree, he is criticized and everyone leaves the auditorium except Linus. Charlie Brown asks, “Is there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?” Linus replies,  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Charlie Brown Christmas reminds me why we celebrate Christmas when I get too caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season. It helps to bring me back to the “reason for the season.” This movie has remained a classic, and it appeals to folks of all ages.<\/span><\/span>
