top christmas movies

Is the Coca-cola ad your favorite Christmas film? “Holidays are coming, holidays are coming” goes the jingle. The countryside covered in snow. The string of red trucks, all outlined in Christmas lights, on the road. For me seeing that advert is the start of the pre-Christmas season.

However back to real cinema films. The Christmas list of movies on DVD is below. Some of them maybe available as MP3 downloads. If you go for a download just make sure it’s legal etc.

You could make a list of ten Christmas movies based on one from each of ten categories.
1-Classic black & white,
2-Children’s,
3-Animation,
4- Comic,
5-Television specials,
6-Romantic comedies,
