There
is nothing better to get people in the mood
for the holidays than watching a favorite
Christmas movie. There is a long list of
Christmas films that have been made, but
only a few stand out.
“The Nightmare Before Christmas” is a different
type of Christmas movie, obviously it involves
a great deal of imagination and creativity.
The film took Christmas to a different level.
The movie’s visual effects are great eye-candy
and for all you Tim Burton fans, “The Nightmare
Before Christmas” is a real treat because
he wrote the story. Who else would give
Christmas a dark theme?
“A Christmas Story” is your classic movie.
The movie is about Ralphie — the protagonist
of the movie — who has to convince his parents,
teachers and Santa Claus that a BB gun is
the perfect gift.
“My all time favorite Christmas movie is
“A Christmas Movie.” Ever since I was a
kid I loved this movie. Sometimes Christmas
can be stressful, but this makes it humorous,”
said Jeffrey Davies, a film student.
The plot revolves around good ol’ Charlie
Brown who is repelled by the commercialism
he sees around him. Charlie then goes on
a personal quest in finding the true meaning
of Christmas.
“A Charlie Brown Christmas” is the television
special that defines Christmas. “The movie,
“A Charlie Brown Christmas,” always lifts
my Christmas spirits. It is so funny. Charlie
is also so adorable that you are always
rooting for him and hoping he has a happy
Christmas,” said Jessica Levy, a student
of anthropology.
