Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas

DVD - 2008

Visually stunning – gothic and German expressionistic, like Caligari in stop-motion. Lovely Danny Elfman music too (he also dubs the protagonist’s singing voice).

Tokyo godfathers [DVD] - Tokyo godfathers

DVD - 2004

The dead-too-soon Satoshi Kon made this wonderful take on an old movie trope – a runaway teen, a transwoman and a homeless man find an abandoned baby and unofficially adopt it. Hilarious, surprising, and beautifully animated.

The Muppet Christmas Carol

DVD - 2005

The Muppets are almost always funny, and Michael Caine acts the Ebenezer role with total seriousness. And that makes this presumably frivolous movie surprisingly affecting.

A Christmas Story

DVD - 2006

A hilarious and nostalgic look at the holiday season told through a child’s eyes (the narrator is the voice of the child all grown up). Pretty hilarious, with unforgettable, classic scenes – and the movie mercifully never gets overly sentimental.
