Top Ten: Christmas Edition

10. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
This little misfit knocked off "It's A Wonderful Life" to squeak in at number 10.

9. The Nightmare Before Christmas
Jack Skellington is pretty cool. And I love dark humor.

8. A Muppet Christmas
A fun variation on the Scrooge story.

7. A Christmas Carrol
This is the quintessential Christmas movie.

6. Miracle on 34th Street
The original. Although you could get the remake, but its not as good.

5. Joyeux Noel
War movie based on a true story during World War I.

4. Elf
I have never known anyone to stay in character better then Will Ferrell. And Deschanel is a great mellow touch to counteract Ferrell's childlike enthusiasm.

3. Love Actually
My favorite Christmas movie, but I'm a sucker for a sappy love story. This movie has like 6 of them.

2. The Snowman
I wish I could make this number one but I can't justify it since its only half an our. It's short and sweet and can't be beat. Except by...

1. A Christmas Story
It's hard to compete with the soft glow of electric sex from the leg lamp, the gleam of a Red Rider BB gun, and Fa Ra Ra Ra Raaa Ra Ra Ra.

You'll shoot your eye out.
