Speaker 1 (00:00):
That King Cole on New York's Christmas station one US
six point seven Light FM, Cubby needed a rio in
for Christine and here we go. Do you agree with
this list? It seems like it comes out of every year,
and it does come out every year, but they tweak
it and different people are in the survey. US Weekly
put together a ranked list of the best Christmas movies

(00:20):
of all time according to their IMDb score.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
So they're ratings by reviewers.

Speaker 1 (00:26):

great movies too, your thoughts? Here we go. Number ten,

point five score.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
I had to look it up.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
White Christmas in nineteen fifty four came in number seven.
Number six, Home Alone nineteen ninety has a seven point
seven score. Pretty much all these movies have anywhere from
a seven point five to the top being an eight
point six, which we'll get to in a second. Number
five is a Nightmare Before Christmas nineteen ninety three.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Never seen it.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
We all kind of disagree on that. Animated right, It's
a good movie, but not top ten. I don't know. Again,
these are all subjective.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
I guess sure.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Number four is a Christmas Story nineteen eighty three.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's a great movie, though.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
You'll see it twenty four to seven coming up in
about a week. It is a good movie. Miracle on
thirty fourth Street came in number three from nineteen forty seven.
A Christmas Carol came in number two, nineteen fifty one.
And you know, if you're playing Process of elimination, you
may have figured this out. Number one, you say it,
take it away, and you know.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's a Wonderful Life from nineteen forty six.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Jimmy Stewart with an eight point six score.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
That's a great movie, though it is.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
I've never seen it all the way through, but I
know enough about it. I know the whole way.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I have to say, I remember watching it a few
years ago for the first time in a long time,
like all the way through. I did cry at the end. Yeah,
I mean, I'm like, I'm crying at this movie.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
But you know what I noticed about this list? What's
the one thing?

Speaker 2 (02:15):
It's a lot. There are much What do you notice more?

What do you go first?

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Classic films?

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yes, the latest movie in the top ten is two
thousand and three.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Oh, that's true. There's no other Elf is not in here.
Elf Express is not in here? What else?

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Christmas Clause was pretty good.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Sometimes Diehard pops up on these things, I.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Know, but there's nothing after it. You mean to tell
me since two thousand.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
And three, there's not been a CRUI.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
There hasn't been a movie worth being in the top ten.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Maybe not that said, sometimes when we get these lists,
they'll be like the best of all time, and it's
like the last ten years, and I think, what are
these reviewers like twenty two years old?

Speaker 1 (02:52):
So this is you know, I guess you know what
twenty years ago. You are competing with movies from the fifties,
forties and movie So it's tough to cut through you're
after five.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, I give it credit for being wide ranging, but again,
if Love actually is the newest film, we've had other films, right.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
We sure have? Uh, what's your opinion? Four? Four, three,
six three Best Chrisps movie of all time
