The movie reviewing website called “Rotten Tomatoes” made a list of the best 50 Christmas movies. This is according to the reviews left on their website from users. A few on the list were surprising, whether I didn’t think they should have been there at all, or I thought they should be higher up.
Let’s go through a few of my personal favorite Christmas movies. In no particular order, I’ll start with “Home Alone.” I like the second one more than the first one, sure. But I still feel like the first “Home Alone” should be higher up than #46. The second “Home Alone” didn’t make the list at all, oddly. “The Santa Clause” with Tim Allen came in at #33. It’s a good, wholesome movie, and I think it could have been a few notches higher as well. “Elf” popped in at #25 on the list, two notches behind “Gremlins,” which was just funny to me. “A Christmas Story” hit the spot at #13, but I would personally give it my #1 spot if I made the list.
“Die Hard” is also on my personal list, and made the cut at #11. I would put that movie in my top-10. I firmly believe that “Die Hard” is in fact a Christmas movie. It gets watched every year alongside “A Christmas Story.” “The Nightmare Before Christmas” is also a Christmas movie. While I enjoyed it, I don’t think I’d have it at position #6 like this list. Another surprising one for me was “Frosty the Snowman.” It rounded out the bottom of the list at #50. Frosty is a Christmas classic, and I would have thought it’d be higher up.
Rounding out the top-5 on the list were “It’s A Wonderful Life” at #1 (which I would place in my top-5 for sure). #2 was “Meet Me In St. Louis,” and then #3 is “Miracle on 34th St.” #4 is “Holiday Inn,” and #5 is “The Shop Around the Corner.” Lots of films from the ’40s on the list!
