I almost decided to deliver this second part of my Top 30 list tomorrow, but it just didn't seem right getting into the Valentine's Day movies field.
No, my fans, I decided you needed this in your inbox tonight to maybe inspire some last minute Christmas cheer.
I'm a complete sucker for Christmas movies. I love the saccharine sentimentality. The splash of Christmas magic. How everything wraps up in a nice (pun intended) bow.
Because of Covid and social distancing, my friends have a chat where we watch movies together every Tuesday and Thursday night. These movies are sometimes determined by an actor we want to do a deep dive on (Philip Seymour Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Channing Tatum) or a seasonal block of films. To determine what movies we watched for the Thanksgiving to New Years season, we built a bracket of all our favorite Christmas movies and had them go head to head.
It pained me to see some eliminated, but we only have 7 weeks to watch movies. I'm going to end up watching most of the losers anyway, but it still hurt.
