THE BEST HOLIDAY FILMS! WHAT’S YOU’RE FAVORITE?
By Robere Lett | Publisher | Style Editor
Holiday films are the mainstay for the season; who doesn’t want to cuddle up with a warm glass of something and binge-watch their favorite old and even new holiday films. As a confessed movie lover or I guess I can be described as a Cinephile, but that sounds very technical and a bit dirty. But for the sake of argument let’s just say I love movies, both old and new, it’s become very difficult to get myself excited enough to go into a movie theatre. With so many streaming options available, whether its on your laptop, Ipad, telephone or television I don't see much of a reason to drag myself out of the house, maneuver my way to a theatre, pay to park, pay more for the concession food then the film and still find a seat that doesn’t ergonomically put me to sleep, heaven forbid the movie sucks! So back to my original thought before I got carried away. Holiday films - love em or leave em are certainly here to stay... So here are our top five picks for 2019. Check them out and let us know yours. I’ll be binge watching at home… Cheers!
#1. Not your standard Christmas film, but it packs a helluva punch just watching a barefoot Bruce Willis outmaneuver the bad guys.
#2. Macaulay Culkin at his comic best. Every kid and a few adults dream of sticking it to the bad guys that intrude on the sanctity of your home.
#3. Bill Murray makes the perfect Scrooge. Comedy genius with a lot of heart and soul. Alfre Wooward is sublime.
#4. Rated the number one film by every major critic and definitely the definative Christmas movie. What can you about a film that still holds it own after seventy four years!
#5. Last, but not least on my 2019 favorites list. The music alone sends my spirit soaring, and the grandeur of Whitney Houston’s vocals makes me rewatch this film over and over again.
