Christmas Movie Gold

So obviously I'm going to do a post on my favorite Christmas movies...and here they are (in no particular order):


Christmas Vacation(1989)
Anyone who has not seen this addition to the Griswold Family adventures is seriously missing out! Clark, played by Chevy Chase, is as usual trying to give his family the perfect vacation--in this case, the perfect Christmas spent at home with family.But when is it ever perfect when the entire family is involved?
*No, this is not one of my favorites because there is a character named Bethany*
Cast also includes: Beverly D'Angelo,Juliette Lewis, Johnny Galecki, and Randy Quaid




It's A Wonderful Life(1946)
The classic Christmas tale that makes everyone cry tears of joy! If you need a synopsis for this one, you are seriously disturbed and need to rent it IMMEDIATELY


The Ref(1994)
This hilarious holiday film you may not be as aware of; It follows main character Gus, a cat burglar, and his experience in taking hostage a family on Christmas Eve that is anything but functional. 
Cast includes: Dennis Leary, Judy Davis, and Kevin Spacey


Love Actually(2003)
A romantic comedy that follows the love lives of several characters during the weeks leading up to Christmas. This film is made up of the perfect British cast, and has a sense of humor that will appeal to many viewers.
Cast includes: Hugh Grant, Bill Nighy, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley,Laura Linney, and Liam Neeson


White Christmas(1954)
I'm sure you've atleast heard the Bing Crosby song, if you haven't seen the film I urge you to this holiday season; not only will you're heart feel light as air, but it will make you love the song even more.
Cast Includes: Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, and Rosemary Clooney


Fred Claus(2007)
This film centers around Fred Claus, the older brother of Santa Claus himself, and the struggles he goes through in finally accepting the Christmas spirit into his life--VERY funny!
Cast Includes: Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamatti, Miranda Richardson,Rachael Weisz, Kathy Bates, and Kevin Spacey


*OF COURSE THERE ARE MORE GREAT HOLIDAY MOVIES, BUT THIS SHOULD GIVE A GOOD START TO A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS FILM EXPERIENCE*
