12 Christmas Movies You Forgot About: ‘A Very Murray Christmas,’ ‘While You Were Sleeping,’ ‘The Family Stone,’ More

With the same old films in heavy rotation on television every December — think Home Alone, A Christmas Story and Love Actually — you may be sleeping on other yuletide favorites from the silver screen. 1988’s Scrooged, for example, marked Bill Murray’s first film since Ghostbusters, and it puts a modern-day spin on Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol. The underrated movie also featured appearances from three of Murray’s brothers, actors Brian Doyle-Murray, Joel Murray and John Murray.

I think it made her actually quite touching,” Parker told Vulture in December 2018 of her flawed character. “I really liked her, and I was sorry that she suffered so much, that she was so hard on herself and so hard on others. She was making an attempt to have a full life, a life that she thought was a portrait of success. I found those qualities very human.” When it comes to more conventional holiday rom-coms, fans shouldn't miss 1995’s While You Were Sleeping, starring Sandra Bullock as a hapless romantic who comes to the rescue of the handsome stranger she’s been crushing on for eons. Meanwhile, if you like action flicks, Hollywood classics, or Mary-Kate and Ashley movies, we’ve got you covered, too. Yes, the Olsen twin’s To Grandmother’s House We Go is a staple of the season despite being left off most people’s must-watch lists. Us is even throwing in a New Year’s Eve-themed film for good measure — so check out all our selections in the video above.
