Number 1 - The Holiday
In contradiction to Mark Kermode's omission of The Holiday in his list of Christmas movies, I will make it number one. Kate Winslet at her winsome best.
Number 2 - White Christmas
It was hard to choose between this and Holiday Inn where the song first appeared.
Number 3 - A Christmas Carol
A toss up between the 1951 black and white Alistair Sim film and Patrick Stewart's modern version.
Number 4 - Miracle on 34th Street
The original 1947 version is a bit too old, (and I cannot remember Mark Kermode giving it a mention) so the 1994 remake with Richard Attenborough gets my vote.
Number 5 - Love Actually
The story by Richard Curtis is a perfect Christmas concoction.
Number 6 - Arthur Christmas
A reasonable animated movie. As is The Polar Express.
Number 7 - The Snowman and it's sequel The Snowman and the Snow Dog.
I have always liked these films, even if Mark ignored them.
Number 8 - Elf
I'm beginning to struggle to get a top ten. This is maybe a fun movie?
Number 9 - The Man Who Invented Christmas
A good take on the Dicken's character with excellent production values.
Number 10 - Die Hard
Anything to make sure It's a Wonderful Life is excluded from my list.
