Here are the 20 best Christmas movies of all time, according to USA Today

Even though several new Christmas films are released every year, we always return to our favorite classics. While the countdown to the holiday season is well underway, the newspaper USA Today has put together its list of the 20 best Christmas films of all time… and some of their choices will surprise many!

We are first surprised to see the family comedy Mom, I missed the planea great classic of the genre, can be found at 20e (and last) rank in the charts behind certain forgettable titles like Our most beautiful season (with Kristen Stewart), which appears at 18e rang.

The choice of the film at the top of the list also turns out to be questionable, in our humble opinion. Ghosts celebrating (Scrooged), with Bill Murray, is a fun retelling of Charles Dickens’ tale, but did it really deserve to be in the top spot?

Several essential films of the holiday season were completely excluded from the top 2, such as Boreal Express, A Christmas story, Dr. Seuss: the curmudgeon who wanted to ruin Christmas (with Jim Carrey as the Grinch) and the charming romantic comedy The holidays, with Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet

Otherwise, the top 5 of the list seems quite logical to us. The classic Life in beautyreleased in 1946, ranked second, followed by the comedy The elfof Really love (Love Actually) and Miracle on the 34e rue.
