These range from bona fide classics to underseen gems, so whether you’re looking for something comforting or brand new, you’ll surely find the right film. Check out our list of the best Christmas movies on Amazon Prime below. If you’re still in denial that Halloween is over, then “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” is the perfect “transition” movie to get you in the Christmas spirit. Based on an original idea by Tim Burton, the stop-motion animated film follows Jack Skellington, the king of Halloween Town, who has become dismayed with the ins and outs of Halloween every year. When he stumbles upon Christmas Town, he becomes obsessed with getting the ghouls and goblins ready to celebrate and in the process gets the whole Christmas thing all wrong. As directed by Henry Selick, this is a delightfully spooky and ultimately emotional story of an outsider whose heart is in the right place. And the songs are killer. If for some reason you’ve never seen “It’s a Wonderful Life,” now is the time. You’ve no doubt heard this one’s a classic, but you’re surely not prepared for just how great and compelling this film is over 70 years after it was initially released. Jimmy Stewart stars as George Bailey, a man who gave up on his personal dreams in a selfless act for his town and future wife. But after attempting to take his own life on Christmas Eve he’s given the opportunity to see what would have happened to the town and those he loved had he never been born.
