“Jingle bells, jingle bells,jingle all the way!” Yesterday Christmas has passed, I believe everyone must have had a very happy Christmas! Christmas, also known as Christmas, the birthday of Jesus, translates to "Mass of Christ", a traditional Western holiday, on December 25 of each year. Mass is a type of liturgy in the church. Christmas is a religious day, and because it is celebrated as the birthday of Jesus, it is called "Christmas".
Christmas is also a public holiday in the Western world and many other regions, such as In Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia and Singapore in Asia. In the time of Constantine (313 AD), the ancient Roman Church became accustomed to celebrating the birth of the Lord on December 25.
We will find that in recent years, there are also many friends around us began to live a "foreign festival", every mid-to-late December is filled with a strong festive atmosphere around, if you are like the Lord of the Lord does not have so much energy to go to Hi Pi, watching one or two movies with a festive atmosphere should also be a good choice, the Lord of The Explorer has carefully prepared 20 for everyone, let's see those of them!
1 White Christmas
Director: Michael Curitz (1954)
演员:Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney
Why: As the most festive movie, White Christmas is not only the most famous Christmas song, but also the most classic black and white movie. In the movie, two retired good friends sing and dance together to perform the most festive and heart-warming story.
2 Love Actually
Director: Richard Curtis (2003)
演员: Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Martine McCutcheon, Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth
Why: Even if you're not a fan of sitcoms, it's hard to fend off this highly humorous but sometimes heartwarming British film. The male protagonist of "Notting Hill" plays the British Prime Minister and spends Christmas Eve with ordinary girls.
3 Miracle On 34th Street
Directed by George Seaton (1947)
演员: Maureen O’Hara, John Payne, Natalie Wood
Why: Yes, you might just think of another classic Christmas movie not to be missed this season. Set in New York, it revolves around the story of a group of people who have just finished their Christmas parade at Macy's.
4 "Home Alone"
Directed by Chris Columbus (1990)
演员: Macaulay Calkin, Joe Pesci, Catherine O’Hara
Reason for recommendation: A film that delves into the origins of Christmas, with the protagonist of an 8-year-old boy named Kevin McCallister as a clue, tells the story of a young boy who has just been scolded by his mother, secretly hoping that he can have a happier family, but wakes up to find that he is the only one left in the whole house. He thought his dream had come true, but he didn't know that his whole family had forgotten him and locked him in his home by mistake. A series of hilarious things happen one after another. Childhood classics are not to be missed.
5 "Bad Santa"
Directed by Terry Zwigoff (2003)
演员: Billy Bob Thornton, Tony Cox, Brett Kelly
Recommended reason: "Bad Santa" is not a warm family movie, telling the exciting story of a gangster Willie and his accomplice Marcas who play Santa Claus and elves every Christmas Eve and steal in the mall.
6 It's a Wonderful Life
Directed by Frank Capra (1946)
Cast: James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore
Why: As the 48,000-eyed person who most wanted to make it happen on Christmas Eve, It's a Wonderful Life. The classic tells the story of george Bailey, the protagonist who is on the verge of suicide, who is saved by his guardian angel.
6 "The Holiday"
Directed by Nancy Meyers (2006)
演员: Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jack Black
Reason for recommendation: The combination of luxury star lineups Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Jack Black is convincing enough.
8 The Nightmare Before Christmas
Directed by Henry Selick (1993)
演员:Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon, Catherine O’Hara
Why: Regular fun and warm family movies have failed to stimulate the endless curiosity in people's hearts. The slightly eerie plot, the terrifying and dark characters and the stories behind them are tightly tied to the heartstrings.
9 The Muppet Christmas Carol
Directed By: Brian Henson (1992)
Actors: Michael Caine, Kermit The Frog, Gonzo The Great, Miss Piggy Recommended Reason: Based on the well-known Dickens novel, strong cast, unquestionably guaranteed. A heart-warming, lighthearted home movie.
10 The Chronicles of Narnia
Directed by Andrew Adamson and Michael Apted (2005)
演员: Liam Neeson, Tilda Swinton, Ray Winstone, Dawn French
Why: Taken from C.S Lewis's novel The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, the beautiful snow scene, the cool ice queen and the cute little animals.
11 Gremlins
Directed by Joe Dante (1984)
演员: Hoyt Axton, Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates
Recommended Reason: This movie full of elves and spooky horrors tells the story of a little boy who receives a gift from a super cute Mogwai pet and transforms into a giant green superstar monster without taking care of it the right way. Very witty and exaggerated interpretation of the 80s.
12 Bridget Jones's Diary
Director: Sharon Maguire (2001)
Actors: Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant
Reason for recommendation: The well-known novel printed with the name of Helen Fielding as the prototype, a strong cast and a very modern version of Jane Austen's book "Pride and Prejudice", combining the classic works of British introvertedness and American humor.
13 Edward Scissorhands
Directed by Tim Burton (1990)
Actor: Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder
Reason for recommendation: The strange characters have been given the simplest mental portrayal, and the unique charm of Edward Scissorhands has won the hearts of the people. Classic film works have won the most popular box office, planted the most beautiful seeds in people's hearts, and also achieved the most beautiful screen couples.
14 Eyes Wide Shut
Directed by Stanley Kubrick (1999)
Cast: Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise
Reason for recommendation: As director Stanley Kubrick's last film, the imaginary scale and a little bit of weird color. Although it is not a suitable choice for family viewing, the plot is not to be missed. Set in New York, it tells the story between Dr. Bill Harford and his wife. The ultimate questioning and redefinition of gender relations has led to many repercussions and reflections on gender relations in this bold work.
15 The Elf
Directed by Jon Favreau (2003)
Actor: Will Ferrell
Why: As the best Christmas gift for Will Ferrell fans, and still a nonsensical character, this film tells the story of a helpful hunky Christmas elf.
16 Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Director: Chris Columbus (2001)
演员:Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint
Why: As the most magical holiday, how can you miss Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in the classic movies of the Christmas season? Adapted from JK Rowling's classic novel, the Harry Potter classic series became an indispensable memory for every childhood.
17 Scrooged
Directed by Richard Donner (1988)
Cast: Bill Murray, Karen Allen
Reason for recommendation: As an indispensable film choice for Christmas, combining a modern twist plot with the classic Charles Dickens novel, Hollywood actor Bill Murray plays the story of a selfish TV man surrounded by three Christmas elves. The novelty complex and strong cast are not to be missed.
18 How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Director: Ron Howard (2000)
Actors: Jim Carey, Taylor Momsen, Jeffrey Tambor Recommended Reason: Remember Little J from the American drama Gossip Girl? Now transformed into a smoky makeup and gothic style girl, the film was shot at the age of 10. In the film she plays Dr. Cindy Lou in Seuss' children's book series joins forces with Jim Carey to stage a bizarre chapter of Christmas Eve.
19 Die Hard
Directed by John McTiernan (1988)
Cast: Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman
Why: The younger version of Bruce Willis's tough guy look is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and of course, the strong German accent of Alan Rickman when he was a teenager. The Muscular Hand-to-Hand Station is once again staged on Christmas Eve in Los Angeles. Add some weight to your warm and gentle Christmas movie selection.
20 The Polar Express
Directed by Robert Zemeckis (2004)
Cast: Tom Hanks, Chris Coppola
Reason for recommendation: The meaning of Christmas is to immerse yourself in simple, spontaneous happiness. If you agree, then this movie is exactly what you're looking for. A little boy embarks on a magical train bound for the North Pole to visit Santa Claus' hometown. Embark on a journey of self-exploration, the plot may be a bit old-fashioned, but the addition of the movie emperor Tom Hanks also gives more reasons to pay attention to and have to watch.
Have you watched so much and thought about what movies to watch at night? In fact, it doesn't matter what Christmas does, as the saying goes, "the most important thing to be a person is to be happy", I hope everyone has a happy night!
