Director: John Landis

Actors: David Naughton, Griffin Dunne,

The only werewolf flick on the list is John Landis' witty masterpiece. This is the movie that encouraged Michael Jackson to hire Landis to create and direct the musical video for 'Thriller'.

Film: BLUES BROTHERS

Director: John Landis

Actors: Jim Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, James Brown, Carrie Fisher,

Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, Steve Cropper

The last scene on the list boosts James Brown, Jim Belushi, and Dan Aykroyd in a hilarious parody of gospel music. It's a party for your senses!

17) GREMLINS

Director: Joe Dante

Actors: Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, 

Corey Feldman, Hoyt Axton, Keye Luke

Year: 1984

Sure, it's not what you would normally think of as a Christmas movie, but I assure you this flick takes place during the holidays. When a gang of disgusting, slimy, reptile-like demons come to the quaint town of Kingston Falls, all hell breaks loose. One of the best parts: the gross little pranksters sing Christmas carols before attacking. "Home Alone" director Chris Columbus wrote the screenplay and Steven Spielberg produced.

15) CHRISTMAS VACATION

Director: Jeremiah S. Chechik

Actors: Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Juliette Lewis,

Johnny Galecki, Randy Quaid, Diane Ladd, John Randolph,

Doris Roberts, E.G. Marshall, Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Year: 1989

The ultimate Christmas debacle film is National Lampoon's "Christmas Vacation". America's favorite family, the Griswold's, get into a heap of trouble, courtesy of dear old dad, Clark Griswold, during the holiday season (involving covering the house with 25,000 lights, getting a squirrel out of the tree, and cousin Eddie).

8) TRADING PLACES

Director: John Landis

Actors: Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis,

Ralph Bellamy, Don Ameche, Denholm Elliot

Year: 1983

If the picture of a drunk, dirty Santa doesn't make you want to see this hilarious film, I'm not sure what will. Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd are perfectly cast as a two very different guys who join forces to fight against a pair of corrupt Wall Street brothers.

4) SCROOGED

Director: Richard Donner

Actors: Bill Murray, Carol Kane, Karen Allen, 

Bobcat Goldthwait, Robert Mitchum, John Glover

Year: 1988

So, this is definitely the best version of 'A Christmas Carol'. Bringing it into the 21st century, Bill Murray (along with Carol Kane as an abusive fairy) is super funny as the modern-day Scrooge. You'll be laughing out-loud.
