Bookending Winter – Let’s Talk Big Screen

Wahey there! So, I’m not the biggest fan of Christmas movies – I find them very very cheesy and cringy (I’m looking at you, Christmas rom-coms), but now and then, some of them are good and okay 😂 But I did choose more than 10 movies (like 11) so maybe there is something about this whole Christmas movies thing (but in like, moderation, lol).

If you want to know more about Bookending Winter, please check this post out! Happy blogging!

Let’s Talk Big Screen

Discussion post about favourite Christmas movies. This will be a Top 10 kind of thing, but if you don’t have 10, that’s okay too!

---

How The Grinch Stole Christmas – I keep writing it as The Grinch Who Stole Christmas ahaha. This is like my top favourite movie because it’s so great?? The BEST Christmas quotes and Christine Baranski?? How can you NOT love it??? Will ALWAYS ALWAYS watch this every year – like hello, You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch, is epic epic and I’d love to have the costume and just BLAST it ALL oVER – and over the tons and tons of Christmas songs playing. And look how YOUNG Taylor Momsen is!! A baby!!

Home Alone – The second one is sort of okay, but the first one definitely tops it. This is, yes, a classic Christmas movie and one I’m definitely okay to watch every year.

Barbie in the Nutcracker – Does this count?? Methinks so. It literally opens up with Clara AT christmas so therefore it counts and is amazing. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re too old to watch Barbie movies – you’re always able to watch them. And maybe I should just watch all of them to figure out my own personal list (Nutcracker will definitely be top. It has Tim Curry as the Rat King, how could you not love it?).

Elf – This is HILARIOUS AND I LOVE IT!! Will Farrell is one actor whose comedic roles I really enjoy (I’m a little bit trash for Talledega Nights and Blades of Glory). And yes, it’s super super Christmassy, but we’ll allow it.

Klaus – I saw the trailer for this and was like ‘sure, okay, I’ll bite. And watch this.’ And then I watched it?? And it was so cute? And the animation 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 we need more of this type of animation!!

Love Actually – So, so cheesy, but one I will allow. Because it is just adorable. Well, except for the creepy story (SPOILER – if you haven’t watched the movie) of the best man falling for the bride. And the super creepy video – me no likey. I’ll stay with young-looking, but probably like 15-year old Thomas Brodie-Sangster, thank you very much).

The Nightmare Before Christmas – This is a two-for-one because BOOM HALLOWEEN. I’ll probably watch this one again as I do love it so much! I also have some pins of this so I might wear them in December.

Gremlins – Shush, this is a Christmas movie – it’s literally set during Christmas!! And it has all the best things that make Christmas Christmas – good beating bad, right?

Krampus – Is it really a post by DB if she doesn’t mention a horror movie?? To be honest, this isn’t the greatest horror movie, but it’s a perfectly good one if you’re looking for a sort of a scare. And it’s set in Christmas!

Arthur Christmas – I actually watched this recently!! Even though I am usually basically a Grinch and NO Christmas movies until you know, ACTUAL Christmas – but this one…was super cute?? Like…more than normal?

I think it’s because of all the voice actors. You have the AMAZING James McAvoy, and then Jim Broadbent (who made me want to watch both Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince AND Moulin Rouge at the same time lol. I only realised Bill Nighy voiced Grandsanta at the end of the movie. And I was right!! Imedla Staunton aka Umbridge voiced the mom – like yes!!

Let It Snow – Just recently watched this!! And it’s so good!! Loved all the stories and the actors in it – Kiernan, Joan etc 😁

 

I hope you liked this post! I liked choosing the Christmas movies and I’m excited to see what you all choose for your list! Do you like any of my choices?
