One Choice: 2000s Christmas Movies

Inspired by the popular online game that asks people to choose one movie from a group of four, One Choice… is pretty much the same game. Readers will be given four similar movies and asked to choose one. Now here’s the catch, the other three movies will be gone forever, wiped from your brain as if they never existed. Are you ready to theoretically live in a world where you have The Empire Strikes Back but not Star Wars or Return of the Jedi? What about the 1989 Batman movie but not Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight? The choice is yours, screenager, so choose wisely.


Christmas is almost here, but you have a choice to make first — which 2000s Christmas movie below would you gladly pick to rewatch for the rest of your life while the other three cease to exist in your mind? Good luck!

Here are the 4 Movies:

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)

Cast: Jim Carrey, Taylor Momsen, and Jeffrey Tambor

Synopsis: On the outskirts of Whoville lives a green, revenge-seeking Grinch who plans to ruin Christmas for all of the citizens of the town.


Bad Santa (2003)

Cast: Billy Bob Thornton, Bernie Mac, and Lauren Graham

Synopsis: A miserable conman and his partner pose as Santa and his Little Helper to rob department stores on Christmas Eve. But they run into problems when the conman befriends a troubled kid.


Elf (2003)

Cast: Will Ferrell, James Caan, and Zooey Deschanel

Synopsis: Raised as an oversized elf, Buddy travels from the North Pole to New York City to meet his biological father, Walter Hobbs, who doesn’t know he exists and is in desperate need of some Christmas spirit.


Love Actually (2003)

Cast: Hugh Grant, Martine McCutcheon, and Liam Neeson

Synopsis: Follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England.


So, will it be How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Bad Santa, Elf, or Love Actually? It’s time to choose. What will be your One Choice?
