25 Best Christmas Films
21) MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS
Director: Vincente Minnelli
Actors: Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien, Mary Astor,
Lucille Bremer, Leon Ames, Tom Drake
Year: 1944
In another classic movie, Judy Garland shines with charisma and beauty. She stars as the eldest daughter in a family that finds out they must move from their childhood home in St. Louis to New York. Garland's famously amazing rendition of 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' is one of the sweetest (and best) parts of this lovely film. Also, you'll fall in love with adorable 7-year-old Margaret O'Brien (who was one of the best child actors of the 40s).

11) LITTLE WOMEN
Director: Mervyn LeRoy
Actors: June Allyson, Elizabeth Taylor, Janet Leigh,
Margaret O'Brien, Peter Lawford, Mary Astor
Year: 1949
A once-prominent family, comprised of four daughters, struggles during Christmas, but still manages to help others and enjoy the holidays. This movie has been made several times (most notably in 1994 with Winona Ryder and Susan Sarandon), but this is the very best version, mainly because of spunky actor June Allyson as 'Jo' and a uniquely hilarious performance by Elizabeth Taylor as 'Amy'.
