Christmas movies

In view of the upcoming Christmas, I created a list of the best Christmas films.

It is difficult to imagine Christmas without them. Without Kevin it's not Christmas! Although this film for me was the No. 2 spot, but also on the podium. For me in the first place were the trials and tribulations of Clark and his family, or " Christmas Vacation" In my opinion, a must for holidays or a few days before.

 

My list:

1.Christmas holiday

I love this movie. Starting from the soundtrack, the acting, the undeniable magic of Christmas that comes from this movie. Everyone knows that the holidays are the three most important days of the year, which we are awaiting for a very long time. We think of a delicious set table, tons of presents under the Christmas tree and the smell spreading in the house . At some point are coming to us honorable guests: grandmothers, grandfathers, uncles, cousins​​, which often go well only in the picture (not that it was for me;)).

2.Home Alone

 

 I watch it every year, it reminds me of the Christmas Eve and the Christmas atmosphere .... something like the smell of mandarins and carnations:]

It captured this great Christmas atmosphere. The simple, light, and an uplifting movie, having in itself  "something" good.

Soundtrack: http://www.soundtracks.pl/reviews.php?op=show&ID=172 

Williams has created something amazing, climate, magical ...

It was music, and of the actors make this film never boring :)

3.Love Actually

It's a very nice film that is worth a look. Certainly it interacts with Christmas and fits the environment. Also it shows that love is all around us and just look around. It carries a positive message: a puzzle of human history, told in a lyrical way to create a single simple image, true, universal love. In addition, great acting and unique music create a film so extraordinary that it stays long in the memory.

In addition to these films (obligatory in my opinion at that time) my list also includes such films as:

4.”Miracle on 34th Street”  Les Mayfield

This movie is so amazing. Suddenly, it turned out that this opposing view of the world (those who believe in Santa Claus and those who believe in the commercial and public holidays, and therefore in the money) have joined together in a common struggle for the existence of Santa Claus. It is true that they had different motives, but, paradoxically, they all had one goal - to keep the charm of the holidays.

A beautiful film, magic, talking about what is most important: faith; therefore, we should  believe in ourselves and other people. It is a movie for now. Miracle on 34th Street tells the story of the highest values.

5.”A Christmas Carol”  David Hugh Jones

"A Christmas Carol" is the most shielded star story. Known to most of us it is a story of a change from rich, stingy, rough man into the one that respects people and celebrates the value of Christmas.  What movie carries such an important moral message? To be good for others, thinking of loved ones, appreciating things that are not financial benefits? This certainly reflects the essence of values which are sacred to the man. So I recommend watching this movie - you have to see it and  in one of winter evenings.

6. „About a Boy”  Chris Weitz, Paul Weitz

"About a Boy" is the story of an emotionally disabled man named Will, whose life revolves around   pleasure. He treats women like objects, he does not like children, and the only person he cares about is himself. Will starts to understand that in life there's more when he meets Marcus. The Boy has problems at home and at school. His life is dependent on the mother suffering from depression, and colleagues from the school constantly torment him. Their knowledge of unexpected flourishes, which is a surprise to both parties. According to me this story is for everyone and for every occasion: there's a little bit of drama, humor, and all in a very mild climate.

7."Holiday" Nancy Meyers

What do women want? In this case, a change in life. Amanda (Cameron Diaz) lives in a stately mansion in Los Angeles. Iris (Kate Winslet) in an old house in the English countryside. Both failed hard on guys. They decide to relieve the failure of love. Using the Internet agency they decide to exchange houses for some time. Amanda meets refined Gragama (Jude Law), Iris Miles (Jack Black).

The film is incredibly atmospheric, warm, perfect for a festive evening when guests have left and you can relax in a comfortable armchair.

8."Jack Frost” Troy Miller

9."The polar Express”  Robert Zemeckis

Every year an eight year old boy goes through Christmas. He deeply believes in Santa Claus. In the end, however, there is a change in him, and in his heart there is doubt. On Christmas Eve at the house of the boy pulls the Polar Express - a magical train, going to the North Pole. This movie is magical with finely crafted animation. I recommend it.

10.  " How the Grinch Stole Christmas" Ron Howard

On top of a mountain, in a dark cave lives a malicious Grinch who hates Christmas. He decides to spoil it. A fairy tale for people with a very specific approach to everything;)

It makes me laugh again and again;)
