We've reached the point where Christmas season begins as soon as Halloween is over. There are three houses on my drive home with holiday lights up already. In fact, I spent Halloween evening watching a Hallmark Christmas movie (and now I feel as if I have seen them all). If you want some help getting into the Christmas spirit, you could pull up a movie from Christmases past, using a handy list from Esquire. It's a very arguable list; some of them are just horrible, others appear to be ranked by how much "Christmas" is included in the film. However, you probably will agree that the top fifteen or so deserve to be there. Otherwise, you might find a movie you've never seen and be intrigued enough to try it out- quite a few have trailers posted. Check them all out here. -via Digg

While I am here, “Lemon Drop Kid.”

Complete and utter rubbish. Leaving aside the fact that many of the "movies" are TV Christmas specials (I love Charlie Brown Christmas more than anything, but it's not a movie), or are movies that have nothing to do with Christmas, any list that substitutes "White Christmas" for "Holiday Inn" can simply be ignored. Plus Elf is hot garbage.

I've never heard of half of these and some aren't even movies. How could you forget The Bishop's Wife? Scrooge (Albert Finney musical), Holiday Inn?

I'm happy that Mixed Nuts made it in the list, though it should have had a higher ranking. Great cast, very funny, and very sweet. Will quote it at any time of the year.
