And so, after a month of sharing Top 5 Christmas Movies lists we have a final leaderboard of the greatest holiday films of all time.

46 different films were chosen and conveniently we've ended up with a perfectly specific top ten, and one very obvious runaway winner.

Christmas means street wide power cuts, Dalek Nativity, impromptu conducting, catching a thief, getting a turkey stuck on your head (long before Friends did it), getting new eyes for your teddy, a sock for yourself and completely NOT what your girlfriend wanted. Classic. Merry Christmas Mr. Bean.

Oh, interesting. I like Thomas Jane, but I'm definitely going to have to see a clip before I'm able to imagine him as Bones. Doesn't seem like a particularly good fit in my head right now.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS - #StrangeNewWorlds Casts Mr Sulu and Dr McCoy for Season 5!

Thomas Jane (The Expanse) will play Leonard “Bones” McCoy, and Kai Murakami will play Hikaru Sulu in the final episode of the #StarTrek series!

I remember years ago how shocked I was to learn that the comedic legend who directed the hilarious 'This is Spinal Tap' and 'When Harry Met Sally' was also the director of the achingly emotional 'Stand By Me' and the chilling 'Misery'. Rob Reiner wasn't merely a director who could switch genres...

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.
