25 Best Christmas Films

10) EDWARD SCISSORHANDS

Director: Tim Burton

Actors: Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Anthony Michael Hall,

Dianne Wiest, Kathy Baker, Vincent Price, Alan Arkin

Year: 1990

Back when Johnny Depp was just 'that hot guy from 21 Jump Street', he met a quirky weirdo by the name of Tim Burton. This meeting led to the two becoming one of the most powerful duos in Hollywood, but it all started with a strange little film called "Edward Scissorhands". Everything about this film is awesome (the set, costumes, screenplay, and the acting). Of course, Depp stands out, but I especially like the sweet, Betty-Crocker-ish performance by Dianne Weist.

Director: Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris

Actors: Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell, Toni Collette,

Alan Arkin, Paul Dano, Abigail Breslin, Beth Grant,

Bryan Cranston, Mary Lynn Rajskub

Year: 2006

It's not a professional performance, but this was the crowd-pleasing moment of the 2006 Oscar-winning film. Abigail Breslin heads up the talented cast while shaking her bootie to a little Rick James.
