Culkin, Depp and Willis tops for Japanese Xmas entertainment
AdvertisementIn another silly wee goo Ranking report, people chose their most entertaining Christmas-themed movie. As always, the ranking is the relative votes for each movie, and no demographic information is available. The survey was conducted towards the end of November.
For most Americans, as I understand it, Miracle on 34th Street is the Christmas movie, although I cannot say I know it at all. For me, I cannot honestly recall any particular Xmas-themed movie – a film version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol (Scrooge below) is about the only thing that comes to mind, but even then, I can only really remember the Blackadder version. In the UK, the tradition is more Wizard of Oz in the morning, and a Bond movie after the Xmas pud and the Queen.
Some of the titles also seem to have very tenuous links to Christmas.
Q: What do you think is the most entertaining Christmas-themed movie?

Hi there, I stumbled upon this blog looking up how Japanese celebrate Christmas, as I felt maybe Anime was rotting how I think. Anyway, I want to point out, over here we also have The Christmas Story, it’s also huge on Christmas and one channel even runs a 24-hr marathon. But yes, Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Carole, Frosty the Snowman, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, and It’s a Wonderful Life, are the huge ones for us in the US on Christmas.
