Two Bing Crosby musicals utilized the song "White Christmas": Let's leave off 1942's "Holiday Inn" (which has a cringe-inducing blackface sequence) and instead include Crosby teaming up with Danny Kaye as crooning World War II GIs who attempt to save their old commanding officer's country inn with the help of a sister act (Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen). This war drama snagged an Oscar nomination for best foreign-language film and explores the victory of humanity over brutality as it chronicles the real-life story of the Christmas truce of 1914 when the World War I battlefield welcomed carols instead of carnage. In honor of the holiday season, let's rank the 20 best Christmas movies ever: Made-for-TV holiday films: They're cheesy, and that's exactly why we love them

Holiday movie preview: 10 new films you can’t miss, from 'West Side Story' to new 'Spider-Man' Heck, Netflix is pretty much an annual treasure trove of streaming yuletide cheer: This year, instead of a lump of coal, Santa gets an origin story with "A Boy Called Christmas" plus Brooke Shields and Cary Elwes unexpectedly fall for each other in "A Castle for Christmas." There are the classics, naturally, like Macaulay Culkin taking on dimwitted crooks in "Home Alone" or Bill Murray's self-centered TV executive learning a thing or several about the meaning of Christmas in "Scrooged," a take on Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." Or maybe you want more modern options, like Lifetime's country-fried "Reba McEntire's Christmas in Tune" or RuPaul's VH1 drag holiday movie "The (B-) Who Stole Christmas."
Santa Claus is coming to town, but you still have time to seek out all sorts of holiday movie fare.
