Nativity!
- 2009 Movie
- 4.6/5
Watching children's nativity productions doesn't seem like worthwhile cinema, but this movie makes elementary school pageants compelling viewing. It is part of a series that features a well known British Actor attempting to produce a child's nativity play, for a very amusing watch.

Rare Exports
- 2010 Movie
- 3.6/5
A twisted movie about an Evil Santa who was unwittingly unearthed after being buried to protect humanity. Feels like a classic 1980s American film, where it is all up to two young boys to save Christmas from Santa himself. A great dark comedy for the holidays.

Joyeux Noël
- 2005 Movie
- 3.7/5
A moving film about the unofficial Christmas ceasefire in World War 1. This is a true story about French, Scottish and German soldiers who got into the holiday spirit together - a touching film and France's official selection for best foreign film at the Oscars the year it was released.
-
Get Santa
- 2014 Movie
- 4/5
An edgy black comedy about Santa crashing his sleigh into modern-day London, getting imprisoned for stealing reindeer and having to find a way out of the mess! A marked change of tone from most Christmas movies, and wildly entertaining.
