6 Christmas Films That My Holiday Heart Falls For Every Time

In This Article:

Holiday movies are not my favorite genre of film, but when the time comes, I have my classics that are a must-watch. As a film major, I find myself struggling to really enjoy movies the same way, but these old faithfuls still take the cake!

Love Actually

Director: Richard Curtis

My all-time favorite Christmas movie thus far! First, I love how it seamlessly tells the story of eight different lives and brings them all together in the end. It keeps you intrigued, and you don't get confused within all the many different perspectives.

The Best Man Holiday

Director: Malcolm D. Lee

I watch this movie every single year and I never get tired of it. It shows the different elements of friendship, good and bad, and how important friendship can be.

Friday After Next

Director: Marcus Raboy

Who doesn't love a good comedy!? "Friday After Next" is the third film in the "Friday" trilogy and my favorite of the three. This holiday comedy focuses on the black community and puts a comical emphasis on the events that take place there.

The Polar Express

Director: Robert Zemeckis

You always have to have one good cartoon movie on the list, and this is mine. Ever since the first time I saw this film, I always thought it was the sweetest and most genuine Christmas movie ever. Not to mention it has amazing graphics and animation! It shows exemplary foundations of joy, friendship, and courage.

The Last Holiday

Director: Wayne Wang

Personally, I love this movie because I just love Queen Latifah. Not to say that it isn't a great movie, because it is, but I just really liked seeing her take on a role outside of her comfort zone. The film is about a woman who learns that she has three weeks to live and decides to drop everything to complete her bucket list.

Elf

Director: Jon Favreau

I find this movie intriguing. It reads like an animated film but then incorporates a modern twist of reality. It tells the story of an orphan who was adopted by Santa as an elf, but then returns to the U.S. to find his father. This is another classic Christmas comedy that the whole family will enjoy.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
