Christmas Movie Recommendations Part 2

"Trading Places" (1983) - Due to a bet between two millionaires, a successful commodity broker trades places, not by choice, with a streetwise hustler. The bet is made to see if a common criminal can be made into a successful businessman and if the wealthy broker will resort to crime if everything he has become accustomed to was taken away.

One of Eddie Murphy's best movies and the rest of the cast is great as well.



"Mickey's Christmas Carol" (1983) - Disney's version of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

It may only be 25 minutes long, but it's a classic in my eyes.



"Scrooged" (1988) - Another and more modern version of A Christmas Carol.

A hilarious and fun movie with an awesome opening scene.



"Jingle All the Way" (1996) - A father wants to get his son Turbo Man for Christmas. However, it's the hottest toy out there and it's Christmas Eve, so he ends up having to search high and low hoping to snag one no matter what it takes.

Not the best Christmas movie out there, but it's one that can be enjoyed by the whole family. It's silly fun.



"Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (1966) - Do I even need to give a explanation about what this short (26 minutes) is about? I didn't think so, but I will say that for anyone who hasn't seen this yet, get on it because it truly is a Christmas classic.
