In the spirit of Christmas I rewatched three of my favourites.
A Christmas Story: Man, nothing beats this timeless classic. It can be watched anytime really, but during the holidays is where it counts. It's hilarious and it summarizes everything about a child and how he and his family deal with Christmas.
Jingle All The Way: Bahahaha, this movie's amazing...in a different way. Arnold Schwarzenegger in a ridiculous and over-the-top comedy? Yes! He spouts some of the most ridiculous lines and Phil Hartman's sleazy facial reactions and dialect is just so perfect. The cheesiness is so over-the-top (especially with Sinbad running around) that it's hard not to enjoy it in its own way.
The Nightmare Before Christmas: Wow, this one's special. Tim Burton's mixture of scary and twisted scenery mixed in with the ideas of Christmas is such a fresh idea. The movie also has a strong musical feel to it, as many fantastic pieces are performed throughout the story. Everything is done using puppetry and stop-motion filming techniques, and it's insanely impressive how well everything moves.
