TOP 5 cult Christmas films that create a festive mood
Winter holidays are traditionally associated not only with a Christmas tree and gifts, but also with warm evenings watching your favourite Christmas films. Some films have become so firmly embedded in the cultural heritage that they top the lists of the most popular films every year. Below are five films that have long been an integral part of the festive mood.
«Home Alone
The 1990 comedy about a boy named Kevin, who was accidentally left at home for Christmas by his family, and his struggle with two unlucky burglars has become a true classic. The film not only captures the festive atmosphere, but also reminds us of the value of family, which is often appreciated only when it is missing.
«Love Actually
This romantic film brings together several stories of love, friendship and family relationships that intertwine on the eve of Christmas. The film has long been a symbol of winter romance and the touching little miracles that happen at this time of year.
«The Shop Around the Corner
A romantic comedy from 1940, which was later used as the basis for You've Got Mail. It is the story of two colleagues who are enemies in real life but fall in love through correspondence. The film creates an atmosphere of cosiness and classic Christmas cinema with the vivid atmosphere of old Budapest.
«Elf
A light holiday comedy about Buddy, a man who grew up in the world of Santa's elves and goes to New York in search of his real family. The film captivated audiences with its humour and warmth, making it one of the most loved family Christmas films.
«Miracle on 34th Street
A classic story about a man who convinces the world that he is the real Santa Claus. The film raises questions about faith, kindness and the Christmas miracle that are equally relevant decades later.
