Movies: My Christmas list

 Christmas Movies

Hello beautiful people, I hope you're having a great day and staying safe! A new festive themed blog, related to movies as always! Even though I don't celebrate Christmas, I still enjoy the movies! They're quiet enjoyable and heart-warming. Here's a list of some of my favourite Christmas movies!

Christmas Vintage Songs Playlist

1) Home alone (1990):

I believe that this movie speaks for itself as the classic christmas movie that should be on every list! The story follows an eight-year old troublemaker who must protect his house from a pair of burglars when he is accidentally left home alone by his family during Christmas Vacation. 

What makes this film even better is the supporting cast by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern who gave a wonderful performance, comdey and laughter along the way until the end of the movie. 

The song "Rocking around the Chritsmas Tree" by Brenda Lee gets stuck in your head for the entire movie and after you finish it too. I believe that Home Alone is a classic and you must watch it! It's hilarious, emotional and light.

2) Four Christmases (2008):

Down to my ultimate favourite holiday movie, it never fails to make me laugh and nostalgic. The story follows a couple who decide to ditch ther families for Christmas and go vacay in Fiji. 

Little did they know, their flight gets cancelled for some reason and they end up visting their families and spend the holidays with them. Brad played by "Vince Vaughn" is hilarious in the role, he manages to maintain his funny side thoughout the film, even if he gets into trouble or embarrased by his family. He dicovers a side he never saw in his girlfriend Kate played by "Reese Witherspoon", who also delivers a great performance in the movie.

I recommend this movie and trust me it never fails to make you laugh.

3) The Holiday (2006):

When I first saw this movie I didn't like it that much but then I decided to give it another chance and I fell in love with it. The story is about two different women who suffer frrom guy-problems, they swap homes in each other's countries, where they meet a local guy and fall in love. 

The acting is strong and well handled, the chemistry betwenn "Cameron Diaz" and "Jude Law" is amazing and Graham's secret was a good twist. What I wish was a bit diffrent is the casting of "Jack Black" as "Kate Winslet" love affair. I felt like any other actor better looking than him would have been perfect. This movie is not your basic rom-com because it's way better, it's warm and has a good story and my mom loved this movie a lot!

I recommend this movie, for a girl's night movie or even you and your sibling's movie night!

4) Elf (2003) :

I recently watched this movie, and it's the best thing I ever did! The story is about an elf raised at the North Pole who finds out he is human, decides to travel to NYC to find his real father. I bet you would say that the story is pretty normal, and not that interesting. 

To that I say, you could be wrong because the director Jhon Favreau 's handling on "Elf" is incrediblly nimble, treating Will Ferrell and his naive character "Buddy" with the utmost respect ; you can laugh at the silliest jokes without feeling guilty . Favreau's work is smooth, and he's assembled an incredible cast to back his star and had done wonders.

 This a heart-warming film that I recommend so much, and believe you only need popcorn and some tissues.

5) Love Actually (2003):

This big cast movie needs no introduction as the classic feel good British christmas film. The story follows the lives of eight different couples in dealing with their love lives in various lossely interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England. There are some elements that I loved;  "Sarah" 's love story, it was very touching and realistic and I kind of felt sad for her and how she ended up all by herself. 

This movie had some toxic love interests as well for example the obsessive stalker "Mark" who's crazy in love with his bestfriend's wife "Julie"! I mean he acts weird around her, he avoids her at all costs and still films her on her wedding day and confesses his love in front of her own damn house! There are limits here, and I consider him a psycho who's way far to be called a romantic!

I recommend this movie, as a holiday must-watch! 

Get your hot chocolate and blanket ready, and prepare for a long Christmas movie marathon! Happy Holiday you filthy animals!
