 | The Ref
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.47 What an amazing cast. If you have a family that bickers during the holidays, this is the movie to buy and share with your smiling through clenched teeth loved ones. The scriptwriting is top notch and between Kevin Spacy playing the snarky disillusioned husband and Denis Leary playing... himself... this one sells itself. Dysfunctional fun.

 | A Christmas Carol
Buy new: $6.49 / Used from: $6.78 Having seen numerous versions of this story, my wife and I make this USA version a must-see during the season. Patrick Stewart pulls off the cranky Scrooge as well as the crazy happy Scrooge with equal dexterity. Shakespearean training rules. Tied with the Alastair Sim version for the top two. This one manages to fry up some nice ghosty effects.

 | A Christmas Carol (Ultimate Collector's Edition)(B/W & Color)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $30.27 This is the version by which all others must be judged. Alastair Sim is perfect as Scrooge. Despite the time this version was made, he manages to avoid the overacting that was so much the standard of the time.

|
 | Elf (Infinifilm Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $2.25 Dumb dumb dumb premise, but... damn if it isn't one of the most enjoyable Christmas classics-in-the-making. I used to hate Will Farrell comedies until I saw this one.
|
 | Love Actually (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $6.49 My wife loves me for loving this movie. So much to like about this - there are, like, seven love stories going on all at once. And if none of them don't make you shed a sloppy tear, you either need to go off of your meds, or step out of the cryogenic chamber.

 | The Year Without a Santa Claus (Deluxe Edition)
