The time of jingling bells is almost upon us, and that means it’s Christmas movies time! But don’t worry, you won’t find any Home-Alone’s or It’s-a-Wonderful-Life’s on this list. Here are 8 most underrated Christmas movies everyone should watch.
1. Gremlins
Without a doubt, Gremlins is one of the best horror comedies ever, and it’s also set during X-mas. Don’t feed Gizmo after midnight, and don’t get him wet. How hard can that be? But no, of course everything went wrong, and the gremlins multiplied like crazy, terrorizing a small town of Whateverville. That holds exceptionally well as a holiday satire. It’s a must see for the Christmas season and here you’ll find some of the funniest visual gags in the history of cinema, as well as a nice Christmas message, of course.

2. Elf
Easily one of the funniest Will Farrell roles out there. Elf is sort of a kids movie, but adult love discovering the nuances. If you haven’t seen it yet, let’s just say you’ll never look at Elves the same way ever again.

3. Bad Santa
Sure, it’s not filled with caroling and holy spirit, but Bad Santa tells its story from a unique perspective, keeping the viewer guessing, while laughing all throughout the movie. I mean, you gotta hear all those insanely inappropriate jokes!

5. Just Friends
The main hero had a crush on this one girl, who rejected him for being fat, so in the end he became a slimmer, more handsome version of Ryan Reynolds and he met her again years later. You can figure out the rest yourself. Don’t miss your chance to see Deadpool wearing a fat suit!

8. The Grinch
One of the best castings ever – Jim Carrey as the Grinch is just what I imagined when reading the original Dr. Seuss’s book. He’s the one who stole Christmas, after all! Oh and the rhyming never gets old.
