Top 10 Holiday Movies

The Nightmare Before Christmas, one of our favorite holiday movies

While some families gather around the fireplace during the holidays, others gather around the DVD player. Since different people celebrate this time of year in different ways, our list includes beloved classics such as "It’s A Wonderful Life" with James Stewart and "Miracle on 34th Street" featuring Kris Kringle. It also features animated selections from good ol’ Charlie Brown to Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas." We've thrown in a few family-friendly films with no discernible holiday theme which provide timeless stories that transport and uplift us, again and again. In that spirit, here are our choices for the top 10 holiday movies of all time. For the scrooges out there, we recommend "Bad Santa" and, of course, "Scrooged."
