Just for fun, this seasonal selection of movies that should please all members of the family. From family comedies, to classics, to horrors.

Comedy:

Of course, family comedies are a Christmas staple.

Elf (2003)

Is Christmas really Christmas until we’ve watched Will Ferrell hollering out “Santa? I know him!” Well, for me it isn’t. Ferrell is an elf in Santas workshop who doesn’t really fit in, until one Christmas he discovers his real father is a mortal man, and he goes on a journey to find his father (James Caan).
