10 Movies You Have To Watch

The holiday season would't be complete without these ten movies.

Dec 20, 2016

Everyone loves having a fire in the fireplace, with the Christmas Tree lit up, a nice mug of hot coco and their favorite Christmas movies. The top 10 movies you need to watch this season are here:

1. A Christmas Carol

You can never go wrong with A Christmas Carol. The story is beautiful, a little on the depressing side, but it'll get you in the giving spirit.

The first silent film version of this Movie came out in 1901 and was named Scrooge or Marley's Ghost with Daniel Smith as Scrooge. There have been more than ten adaptations or remakes of the original story told by Charles Dickens.

My top two favorite adaptation of the story would have to be the 1984 version with George C. Scott as Scrooge:

And the 2009, Disney version :

“Bah," said Scrooge, "Humbug.” - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

2. The Polar Express

What's Christmas without a little adventure to believe. Music by Alan Silvestri and Screenplay by Robert Zemeckis and William Broyles Jr. This story is based on the 1985 children's book same name by Chris Van Allsburg.

I've never seen such great graphics and such a lovely story. Seeing isn't always believing, but this story will warm your heart and make you believe all night long.

"Seeing is believing"

3. How the Grinch Sole Christmas

Both the real-life and animated versions of this movie is always a classic to watch. Max is probably more loyal than my dog and Cindy Lou Who is the only one who understands the real meaning of Christmas. In the real-life version, Jim Carrey will keep you laughing and enjoying till the end.

and the original

4. Home Alone

This is a hilarious film with robbers, an 8 year old kid grocery shopping by himself, and the importance of family. This humor filled film pinpoints the understanding and importance of having family around for the holidays.

5. A Miracle on 34th Street

This is a heartwarming tale of "Santa" and brightening the heart of one young girl. This film is guaranteed to warm your heart and never underestimate what Santa can do to nonbelievers.

6. Elf

This humorous tale of an"elf" leaving the North Pole and traveling to the famous New York City. He has no idea what's in store for him and turns one family's holiday season to a time of joy.

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear"

7. Rudolf The Red-Nose Reindeer

These stop motion films are a classic to enjoy every holiday season. Understanding that your flaws make you who you are is very important and this film is perfect for that.

8. Frosty the Snowman

This cartoon is timeless. Frosty is a snowman that "came to life one day" with a magical hat. The kids loved Frosty till they realized that the warming sun would leave frosty a puddle, in an extravagant effort to save frosty, the kids embark on a mission to get him to cooler weather.

9. A Charlie Brown Christmas

You wouldn't dare going a Christmas season without watching Peanuts A Charlie Brown Christmas. With the telling of the Nativity Story and understanding true friendship and love

10. A Christmas Story

This is my all-time favorite Christmas movies. There's humor and beautiful moments in this little home in Indiana. From writing themes, to sexy leg lamps to Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle with a compass in the stock

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
