Christmas movies over the holidays:
In Bruges (2008) - My favorite non-Christmas Christmas film, it's remarkable how the tone can go from hilarious to somber in a matter of seconds.
10/10
Un conte de Noel / A Christmas Tale (2008) - Mandatory viewing for me on Christmas Eve.
10/10
La buche (1999) - Like
A Christmas Tale, what I like most about these two movies is that they aren't saccharine holiday celebrations. And they're
very French.
7/10
Stalag 17 (1953) - My second screening after watching it for the first time last December, I like it even more now.
8/10
Joyeux Noel / Merry Christmas (2005) - A very good Christmas war movie based on true events.
8/10
Klaus (2019) - I would have preferred it to be even edgier, but this alternate origin of Santa Claus has a lot of mass appeal.
6/10
The Apartment (1960) - Another classic that's a top five all-time favorite. Best seen on New Year's Eve.
