The holidays are not just a time to eat, drink, and be merry, but also a time to bond over movies with loved ones. Some films are specially made for this season and have lasted for decades as families re-run them each year. The movie themes range from humor to horror, or from cheesy romance or drama about family. They also tend to teach lessons about giving during Christmas and remembering the importance of community. A few of these classics have stood out, and according to a media outlet, one of them is the best. What classic is the best Christmas movie ever made? Christmas movies/Everett Entertainment Weekly named It’s a Wonderful Life as the best Christmas movie of all time. Frank Capra directed the 1946 classic and features Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey. In a bid to help people in his little Bedford Falls hometown, George goes broke and considers suicide on Christmas Eve. Thankfully, an angel named Clarence shows up to give him a better perspective on his life, making him take another shot at living. The movie earned five Oscars Award nominations and a Golden Globe for Capra as best director. A CHRISTMAS STORY, Peter Billingsley, Jeff Gillen, 1983./ Everett Other top Christmas movies Following It’s a Wonderful Life on the list of top Christmas movies are A Christmas Story, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Elf, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. A Christmas Story is a cult classic that teaches viewers to find joy in the simple things, like 9-year-old Ralphie Parker. Christmas movies/Everett A Charlie Brown Christmas is a favorite of Peanuts comic fans, and like A Christmas Story, it teaches that Christmas’ essence can be found in the little things. Elf is one of Will Ferell’s career-defining roles, as he depicted the child-like adult raised as an Elf at the North Pole. How The Grinch Stole Christmas was a 26-minute special that stole viewers’ hearts and has been remade into live-action and animation in recent times.

‘80s comedy stars Ivan Reitman, Bill Murray, and Harold Ramis came together for Stripes in 1981, with Murray as the lead actor alongside Ramis, who also handled writing. Stripes was a hit, but unknown to fans, it almost got replaced by Cheech and Chong Join the Army. Like the trio, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong were an equally popular comedy duo named Cheech and Chong. They already had acclaim as one of the biggest names of the genre, thanks to their albums and Up In Smoke. The ‘Cheech and Chong’ movie would have replaced Bill Murray’s CHEECH AND CHONG STILL SMOKIN’ (aka STILL SMOKIN’), from left: Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, 1983. © Paramount Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection Being a fan of Cheech and Chong, Ivan decided to direct a movie starring them both in the Army. He admitted during a 2021 interview that he considered his idea grand, as it came after the US and Vietnam War, so it would have escaped the protest movie label. Sadly, neither of the comedy duo was interested in his offer, leading him to focus on directing Stripes. Like Cheech and Chong Join The Army was envisioned to be, Stripes was about new army enlistees who display comedic chemistry amid their platoon tasks and adventures. Bill Murray’s film that should’ve been a Cheech and Chong movie/Everett Bill Murray starred in ‘Stripes’ on one condition Bill agreed to play John Winger only if Ivan brought Ramis on board as his sidekick, Russell Ziskey. Judge Reinhold, who had a small part in the comedy classic, recalled how Bill and Ramis would retreat to a trailer on set, and return with new material. Their chemistry contributed to the success of Stripes, which became a box office hit making more than 8 times the $10 million budget. Stripes/Everett Bill and Ramis remained close pals until 1993 while filming Groundhog Day. Bill allowed his personal issues, including a rough divorce, affect his performance on set, as he would often turn up late and resist Ramis’ direction. He cut off communication with Ramis for about two decades; however, they reunited before the latter died of autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis in 2014.
