"Honestly, if you love murders at Christmas this is the one to watch!"

We can all agree that the festive season is the perfect time to snuggle up and stick on a movie, but not all of us can stand Christmas movie after Christmas movie.

So, here are 24 movies that we love to watch around the holidays, that aren't strictly X-mas themed.

1. James Bond

Sony Pictures Releasing

"Christmas is the perfect time to get a 007 marathon in, except for the last one of course. We don't speak of the last one."

2. The Wizard of Oz

Loew's, Inc

"Those people of a certain age will remember watching it every year during the holidays."

3. Matilda

Sony Pictures Releasing

"It embodies the feelings you want at Christmas without being at all Christmassy. It's super feel-good, it's magical, and it's got the nostalgia vibes that the holidays are all about!"

4. The Princess Bride

20th Century Fox

"We watch it every single Christmas!"

—maddithesenpai

"It’s just delightful."

—randocalrissian

5. Dune

Warner Bros. Pictures

"You wouldn't think Christmas and vast planes of scorching desert work together, but honestly, getting fully engrossed in another world is just what Christmas is about. It's definitely one for the post-mulled wine slump where you just want to put your feet up with a really good cinematic movie."

6. The Breakfast Club

Universal Pictures

 "It's heavy-handed, but it's a film that makes you reflect on relationships, and what's more holiday-ish than that?"

–markh63

7. The Hobbit

Warner Bros. Pictures

"Every year when it gets round to December I watch The Hobbit movies because actual holiday movies are always so stupid."

8. Singin’ in the Rain

Loew's, Inc.

"It’s so bright and cheery so is a great pick-me-up during the winter months."

9. Twilight

Summit Entertainment

"Nothing really shouts 'Merry Christmas' like some moody teen vampires in Forks, Washington! I think it's the nostalgia of reading the books as a kid that makes me want to watch the movies around Christmas, or maybe it's just Robert Pattinson – either way, it's become a Christmas tradition!"

10. The Lord of the Rings

New Line Cinema

"My family likes to do a marathon on Christmas Day in matching Christmas jimjams."

11. Harry Potter

Warner Bros. Pictures

"It's an obvious one but it has to be Harry Potter. The first two movies in particular." 

—curtsdamnemail

"Especially the first Harry Potter movie. The way the food hall was decorated for Xmas makes me green with envy."

—ravenbard

12. Little Women

Columbia Pictures

"It has to be the 1994 version. I don't know why but it has always felt like a Christmas movie to me even as a kid!"

—clairebsaenz

13. Jurassic Park and Godzilla

Universal Pictures / Warner Bros. Pictures

"Before my aunt passed away, she gave me a dinosaur bookmark and T-Rex socks as a silly add-on Christmas gift, and she would watch Jurassic Park every Christmas (I still have NO idea why). I also just love Godzilla, so they both just kind of became Christmas staples for me. Nothing says Merry Christmas like a 'ROOOOAAR!!!!' in my house!"

—morgan_le_slay

14. The Deer Hunter

Universal Pictures

"It's an emotionally hard movie to watch, but so well done."

–markh63

15. The Parent Trap

Buena Vista Pictures Distribution

"I honestly hate Christmas movies so I try to instead watch something that is a feel-good movie and invokes the nostalgia of childhood. The Parent Trap is an absolute blast and I pair that with The Princess Diaries movies for a marathon that makes me feel nice and fuzzy."

—monikap6

16. Long Kiss Goodnight

New Line Cinema

"Honestly, if you love murders at Christmas this is the one to watch!"

—e4cd1be7f6

17. The Nice Guys

Warner Bros. Pictures

"Christmas films never really do it for me, they're all a bit too flat to really get your teeth in. The Nice Guys finds the perfect balance between funny and engaging to make it an ideal movie to watch around the holidays!"

–bendzialdowski

18. Bridget Jones

Universal Pictures

"Watching all three movies is an absolute must during the holidays"

—aimee25

19. Metropolitan

New Line Cinema

"The backdrop is Christmas but this Austinian character study of a group of young Upper East Side 'bourgeoisie' could take place anywhere, at any time."

—merylsmaydl

20. Die Hard

20th Century Fox

"It's just the perfect non-Christmas Christmas movie, there's no competition."

—littlemixfan17

"It's a family tradition to watch the first one while wrapping presents."

—mikeumd

21. American Psycho

Lions Gate Films

"There’s a Christmas party. It’s set over the holidays. Red is a dominant colour in the movie. It’s Christmas-core without being about Christmas."

—caryscherry

22. Frozen + Frozen 2

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

"The winter anaesthetic is Christmassy and appropriate and I just honestly love these movies."

—ravenbard

23. Anastasia

20th Century Fox

"I'm not sure why but the song, 'Once Upon A December' brings back Christmas memories for me."

—ravenbard
