My Favorite Christmas Specials/Movies

Hi everyone!

Since Christmas is almost upon us, four more days to be exact, I decided to do a post on my favorite Christmas specials and movies. These lists are in no specific order, add the year they premiered along with a review out of ten, and I also will describe why I love each movie.

Movies:

1. It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

Review: 9/10 

   I love how you learn the backstory of George Bailey and then follow him as he struggles in the current time.

2. Elf (2003)

Review: 10/10

   This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen and I watch it multiple times throughout the year because I love it so much!

3. Polar Express (2004)

Review: 7.5/10

   As a child, my "brothers" (they were my friends who were like my brothers) and I would always watch this together while celebrating they holidays, so this has always been very special to me.

4. White Christmas (1954)

Review: 8.5/10

   I love musicals and Bing Crosby so of course I love this movie! I recommend it to those of you who love movie musicals just as much as I do.

5. Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009)

Review: 9/10

   This movie is so clever, especially with the animation style and interpretation of the characters. I have always been a fan of the novel by Charles Dickens and I feel like this did the novel justice in many ways.

6. Arthur Christmas (2011)

Review: 8/10

   This movie is hilarious and I love the new way of picturing how Santa handles Christmas with a fancy ship and a control center of elves. 

Specials:

1. Hey Hey Hey It's Knishmas! (2008)

Review: 9.5/10

2. A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)

Review: 9/10

3. Pee-wee's Playhouse: Christmas Special (1988)

Review: 10/10

4. Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)

Review: 8.5/10

5. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)

Review: 7/10

6. Santa Claus is Comin' to Town (1970)

Review: 8.5/10

7. Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas (2004)

Review: 8/10

8. A Pinky and the Brain Christmas (1995)

Review: 10/10

That's all for today! Happy holidays and I'll see you next year!

P.S.: Just so you guys know, next week (from December 27th to January 1st) I will be away so there won't be a blog post before the new year.
