The month before Christmas can get pretty hectic, however, take a minute out of your busy life to enjoy a festive movie. There are so many classic films out there for you to enjoy, so open some chocolates early, treat yourself and watch some good Christmas entertainment.
The Santa Clause is the perfect Christmas movie. When a man inadvertently kills Santa Clause, Tim Allen's character Scott Calvin, must step in and take over the role in order to make sure that Christmas can continue. At first he is very cynical about his new role and looks nothing like the famous Father Christmas. However, slowly, he starts growing the beard and the belly and soon enough he looks just like Santa Clause. This is a hilarious transformation, as Tim Allen's face displays his character's disbelief perfectly.
Though the reason Scott Calvin takes over from Santa Clause is a little dark for a movie like this, The Santa Clause does a great job of bringing a lot of humor to the topic of Christmas and everything it entails. The Santa Clause is another one of those Christmas movies that should not be missed. When it isn't funny, it is heartfelt and sincere and truly is one of the better family movies of recent years.
The Nightmare Before Christmas, is Tim Burton's mystical and ghoulish animated horror. It is the perfect antidote to an overload of festive sentimentality. The creepy Christmas tale is usually shown on TV the night before Christmas, to scare children into thinking Santa might be replaced with a scary pumpkin. Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king of Halloween Town, is bored with doing the same thing every year for Halloween. One day he stumbles into Christmas Town, and is so taken with the idea of Christmas that he tries to get the resident bats, ghouls, and goblins of Halloween town to help him put on Christmas instead of Halloween -- but alas, they can't get it quite right.
Miracle on 34th Street is a magical tale, which keeps the fun of Santa Claus and Christmas alive. Kris Kringle, the real Santa Claus, is hired to play himself at Macy's Department Store, New York City. He finds himself in a situation where he must convince an unbelieving little girl, and others cynics, that he is the real Santa. A real gem of a film.
