5 Movies Everyone Should Watch For Christmas, Let’s Watch A Christmas Movie Today michael looks at 5 movies he recommends for Christmas.
Key Points
5. Django Unchained (2012)
The American western film, Django Unchained is about a German bounty hunter, Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) who teams up with a slave he freed named Django (Jamie Foxx). Together they track down wanted criminals and then set out to rescue Django’s wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). The film is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino so it is overflowing with his trademark dialogue, over-the-top violence and unique mashup of cinematic styles and soundtrack songs.
From the opening scene I was immediately drawn into the movie especially with Waltz’s charismatic performance of Schultz. I loved how articulate he was and how he followed a code of ethics that he always communicated with extreme confidence. He inspired me to emulate the same confidence in my life and profession. And Schultz inspired me in how he treated Django like an equal human being and together they achieved many goals. These movie heroes could inspire you too.
Sometimes there are films you have no interest in seeing and yet, when the time is right, they can help re-energize your spirit and fill you with insights for improving your life or career. Most importantly, movies are meant to entertain and help you escape for awhile. Be open to a meaningful, unexpected cinematic experience coming to you today!
4. Bridesmaids (2011)
This comedy stars Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph and has some over the top scenes! There’s one where all the bridesmaids and bride eat at a Brazilian steak restaurant, get food poisoning and later try on dresses at a bridal shop. What happens next is shockingly funny!
3. Horrible Bosses (2011)
A big part of why this film is funny is seeing actors Colin Farrell and Jennifer Aniston do and say things so dirty and so wrong! Aniston plays a dentist sexually harassing her assistant and is so fun and shocking at the same time! At the end credits they show bloopers so keep watching for more laughs.
2. Knocked Up (2007)
This comedy stars Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd who have been in a number of comedies built on the benefits of ad-libbed scenes. This film is packed with so many movie references and F-bombs that repeat viewings would be in order. The film is both funny and insightful about dealing with unexpected changes in life.
1. Ted (2012)
If you love the TV series The Family Guy then you will love creator Seth MacFarlane’s movie debut about a teddy bear that comes to life and becomes a dirty, vulgar bear. This film is absolutely packed full of 80’s pop culture references and, like many of the movies listed, have a heartfelt message.
