Best Christmas Movies
Elf in 2003
Frank Ricard. Ron Burgundy. Ricky Bobby. They're all unforgettable Will Ferrel personas, but the role he might be remembered for most in 50 years is Buddy the Elf from '03's instant holiday classic. This non-stop laugher exemplifies all-ages entertainment.
So you love rom-coms? Try eight in one. Though some storylines better than others (horny Brit has American threesome), even the grinchiest among us will find something to heart here. It's a valentine to love all wrapped up in a Christmas bow.
There are two types of movie fans: those who expect their Santa noble and god-fearing, with perhaps a hint of safe Tim Allen-esque humor, and those who'll allow him the occasional slip into vulgarity, promiscuity and armed burglary. To the latter group, this black comedy's a classic. To the former, we're sorry.
The Polar Express in 2004
Sure, the performance-capture technology may have rendered the children a touch frightening to look at, but there's still plenty of joy to be had in this fast-moving adaptation of the beloved children's book starring an ensemble of Tom Hankses.
Joyeux Noel in 2006
This moving Oscar-nominated drama tells the true story of German, French and Scottish troops in WWI who called a ceasefire for Christmas Eve. If they can find peace on earth for this most special of nights, surely you can grin and bear the in-laws.
