I love summer. I wish it were summer all year long. School is out, the beach, vacations, what’s not to love? I went to summer camp(s) every single summer growing up (and was even a counselor when I got older). Summer is my jam and that is why I made a movie guide featuring movies that take place during summer. I feel like I am missing a few important ones though. Please comment if you have a favorite summer movie I didn’t include.
This year the holidays seem to be sneaking up on me quicker than ever before. I blame the foot of snow we currently have and the freezing temperatures we’ve had all week. Usually, I like to take one holiday at a time. I am not a fan of Christmas decorations being out before Thanksgiving. But “Holiday Inn” was recently playing on television and it got this Grinch in the holiday mood. I decided to compile a list of my favorite Christmas movies to refer to instead of just watching whichever film happens to be playing that evening.
You’ll notice a few titles missing from my list that everyone else would include. I also didn’t rank the movies but instead divided them into categories because I like a lot of variety in my viewing pleasure. If I watch a classic one night, I like to pick from another category the next night.
I hope you enjoy my list of best Christmas movies:
Below I’ve listed the movies that I remember watching during my childhood over and over again (excluding animated Disney movies – those will come later).
One of my very distinct early memories is of me sitting in my tiny chair eating mini-marshmallows as I enjoyed one of my favorite films.
This guide includes movies that the whole family can enjoy and I wouldn’t mind if my own children one day watched them repeatedly.
