Christmas is around the corner and everyone will be home to celebrate with their families and loved ones. Here are top 5 evergreen recommeded movies to watch during the holiday period:
Home Alone
Even though Home Alone didn’t turn out to be the greatest thing to happen to Macaulay Culkin, we feel rather fond of this classic Christmas hit. For those who haven’t yet watched it (where have you been though?) Home alone is a 1990 ‧ Comedy/Family which lasts for 1hour 43minutes.
Here’s a quick summary: eight-year-old Kevin McCallister gets forgotten by his family who jet off to Paris without him. Whilst his family try desperately to get back to America, burglars try to break into poor Kevin’s home. However, through much hilarity, Kevin skilfully defends his home with the aid of a tarantula and some artfully crafted cardboard cut-outs.
Film fact: The picture Kevin finds of Buzz’s girlfriend whilst he raids his big brother’s room was actually a boy wearing a wig. The director felt it would be too harsh to use a real girl for this scene.
The Princess Switch and The Princess Swith 2: Switched again
Long story short, Hudgens plays double duty as a princess and a normal Chicago baker who’d given up on love. And it was a hit. The film ushered in the Netflix Original Christmas Movie Cinematic Universe, in which Hudgens met a Christmas knight and also returned for a Princess Switch sequel.
This is yet a recent movie but an intresting one. You should check it out.
The App that stole Christmas
A tech entrepreneur’s Christmas shopping app is a smashing success, but he starts to believe his invention might be ruining the holiday spirit.
This is also a recent movie but worth the watch reason being that the movie practically portrays 21st century and how technology comes to play in our everyday lives.
Jack Frost
Michael Keaton gets a Christmas movie, too. He plays a man literally named Jack Frost, who lived his life as a bitter, aging rocker and meets a tragic end in a car accident on Christmas Day. A year later, his son plays a song on his old harmonica and brings him back to life; this time as a snowman. Bad special effects might make this one more of a horror film than a heartwarming Christmas movie, but nonetheless, here it is.
Snow Man
Harry Hole is investigating the disappearance of a woman on the first snow of winter when he realises that the case may be related to a Snowman.
Watch and enjoy.
