Most Awesome Christmas Movies of All Time
Ok, I couldn’t resist. In the spirit of the season I’ve compiled a grouping of the most awesome Christmas movies of all time. Will it make you a better SEO? Heck yes it will!
1. Die Hard
Who could forget this holiday favorite? Bruce Willis crashes the company Christmas party with a couple presents of his own. Big explosions and plenty of yuletide tag lines.
2. Scrooged
Bill Murray is the perfect schmuck in this irreverent classic. Rick Moranis plays a loose canon, disgruntled ex-employee who ends up a bitter, gun-toting, drunken mall Santa. Every company’s got one.
3. The Nightmare before Christmas
Jack the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town discovers some doors in the woods. One of the doors takes him to Christmas Town where he stands in for Santa. Sounds like a Pink Floyd song.
4. Jennifer 8
I think this is the only scary movie Andy Garcia has ever been in, lucky for us that it happens to take place during Christmas. Edge-of-your-seat suspense in this creepy holiday thriller.
5. The Grinch
No, not the one with Jim Carrey. The cartoon makes the list because somehow this crusty, booger-colored fuzz ball has touched our hearts in a way just plain being nice could never do.
6. Mixed Nuts
This movie is just awkward. It reminds me of the typical family dysfunction we all look forward to during the holidays. I hope it’s not just me. Plus I like Steve Martin.
7. The Shining
Jack Nicholson is a nut. Nevertheless The Shining is a performance to remember and the setting is just lovely with all the snow and trees, and screaming.
8. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
When I think of Christmas movies, I think of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Chevy Chase is the all American, competitive dad just trying to forge out an existence in suburbia. Oh how we love your slapstick antics Chevy.
9. Ghostbusters II
This feel good classic has Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd back to finish off those grumpy ghosts. Slimer plays the elf.
10. The Ref
Hil-arious! Dennis Leary lays the smack down as a bumbling cat burglar who chooses the wrong house to break into on Christmas Eve. The love flows like wine in this house.
Happy Holidays and a safe New Year’s from us at the Best SEO Blog!
