For many, no Christmas would not be complete without watching a few good Christmas movies. Whether it’s a classic like Miracle on 34th Street, a film that brings you back to your childhood like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer or maybe something a little off-the-wall like Bad Santa, Christmas movies fall into many different genres. Today we'll look at and listen to some of the best and worst Christmas movies ever to grace the silver screen. Laura's guests are Garen Daly, The Exchange's film commentator and Artistic Director of the Peterborough Community Theatre and Amy Diaz, Executive Editor and Movie Reviewer for The Hippo Newspaper.

National Lampoons Christmas

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation! I grew up watching this every year with my family. At big family holiday gatherings someone is always quoting it. "Grace? Grace died 3 years ago!" "The most fun-filled old fashioned family Christmas ever!" - Clark Griswold. I watch it every December and it brings back childhood memories.

I'd also like to nominate

I'd also like to nominate some movies which I have enjoyed over the past several years, including "Nightmare before Christmas",
which is a fun, but definitely different animated musical, and
the movie "A Midnight Clear", based on the William Wharton book.
