Three Christmas Movie Classics Top Our List
This year, the classic “Home Alone” (1990) with Macaulay Culkin takes the Tennessee title, just beating out Jim Carey's Grinch and "The Polar Express." "Home Alone" was a box office sensation at the time of its release, but its staying power 34 years later is truly something to behold. Director Chris Columbus paired Culkin with Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern as two inept robbers who get a handful of trouble when they try to break into the McCallister home in Chicago. The film was written by John Hughes, who also wrote and directed No. 4 on our list in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."
“How The Grinch Stole Christmas” (2000) with Carrey and the animated "Polar Express” (2004) with Tom Hanks each scored an interest rating of 8 to tie for No. 2.
Hughes' “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” (1989) starring Chevy Chase placed fourth on the list with a seven rating. Last, but not least, “Elf” (2003) with Will Ferrell and 1988's "Die Hard" rounded out the top five with a six rating, each. What would John McClane make of being tied with Buddy the Elf? One can only imagine.
