So there you go…..our Top 15 Christmas Movies Statistically Speaking. Have we forgotten a movie? ….probably…..our database is big…..but it only has ranked about 15% of all the movies ever made. So we know we do not have all of the Christmas movies ranked. But we fell this is a pretty good list….and ultimately it is our way to say…we hope everybody has a wonderful and safe holiday….and thanks for all the support on our webpages over the years. So it is almost time for me, the 6 year old, and the 9 year old to sit down and watch Bruce Willis kill some terrorists, step on broken glass and blow up a massive building….nothing better than watching Christmas movies with the kids on Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas everybody!

great page. merry Christmas.
wow , one 4.5 or higher UMR ticket Christmas movie in last 16 years. 21 in the previous 70 years. a possible commentary on the decline in the movie making industry quality in the 21st century?
I welcome renewed acquaintance with this highly comprehensive and entertaining rundown around Christmas time. However, unlike the other two, I will also watch it if it happens to be at any other time too. I was beginning to think I would never see it but someone in my film noir Fanclub found the link for me.
Recently I was able to view Christmas Holiday starring Deanna Durbin and Gene Kelly on a Russian website ru.ok. It was in English. I was beginning to think I would never see it but someone in my film noir fanclub found the link for me. fascinating movie and good acting all around.
As mentioned previously I welcome renewed acquaintance with this highly comprehensive and entertaining rundown around Christmas time.
I am a bit surprised though that with all the hype it has received over the years on this site Dire Hard has reached the top of the charts, dislodging Wonderful Life.
Christmas sure ain’t what it used to be in some ways!
My previous post should of course say Dire Hard has not reached the top. Apologies.
Academic. We tend to try to watch the film at christmas, just like Miracle on h street or It’s a Wonderful life. However unlike the other two I will also watch it if it happens to be on any other time too. Therefore to us it IS a christmas movie.
