273 0

As we close in on the Christmas season it means it is time to chill and enjoy; because lets face it – #keDezembaBoss! For those who would rather enjoy the holidays snuggled up with family watching movies, get ready to update your movie lists. We have a list that boils down to the best Christmas movies of the 21st Century !

10. A Christmas Carol


Visually stunning and actually quite faithful to the original story, this film gets a bad rap from many people but it’s imaginative and entertaining and worth a watch if you haven’t seen it already.

9. The Polar Express

A modern classic, magnificent in execution and heart, and is among the best Christmas films for the entire family.

8. Arthur Christmas

Funny and smart, with amazing animation and one of only a few modern Christmas movies to feature a story with Santa Claus.

7. Bad Santa

Definitely not a film for the whole family, but it is hilarious and raunchy while still delivering a story of redemption and belief in people’s potential for good.

6. In Bruges

Dark at times, funny at others, this is another quirky story of unsavory characters seeking redemption, and the beautiful scenery adds to the entertainment value.

5. Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale

A bizarre horror-spin on Christmas stories, you’re not going to find another holiday movie as amazingly original and entertaining, with lovely dreamlike imagery — but not necessarily good dreams!

4. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

A grand film noir full of great dialogue, characters, and performances, with plenty of genre reversals courtesy of writer-director Shane Black, famous not just for making great movies but for setting them during the holiday season.

3. Iron Man 3

It is a superhero whose gift-giving skills reflect at first a lack of intimacy or ability to let himself be vulnerable, to a man who sees his own vulnerabilities in others and learns to come out from behind the armor his hidden behind for so long.

2. Elf

Best movie of all time. It is such a perfect mix of the more eccentric humor that Will Ferrell is famous for, as well as classic comedy sensibilities for viewers of all ages. And the storytelling is just perfect, this is pretty much an awesome Christmas film.

1. Love, Actually

It gets everything right, as a Christmas movie made just for adults, and if you’ve not seen it yet then believe me when I say you’re missing not just the best Christmas movie of the last decade but an instant classic Christmas film of all time. It’s hilarious, it’s sad, it’s thoughtful, it’s fun, and you come to care what happens to all of these people and you want them to finish the holiday happier than when they started out.
