Power Rankings: Underrated Christmas Movies

The SAW Power Rankings is our weekly ranking of a certain movie-related topic. Please feel free to comment on our rankings and provide a list of your own in the comments below.

It’s December, so of course, it’s time for some Christmas-themed power rankings! If you grew up with a TV that had more than two channels, you should be familiar with all the classics that get played every year around Christmas — Home Alone, The Grinch, Elf, It’s a Wonderful Life, etc. So instead of seeing those same four or five films top the lists, we went and asked our team to come up with their five favorite UNDERRATED Christmas movies. And well, here they are!


Romona Comet

  1. The Family Stone
  2. Klaus
  3. Arthur Christmas
  4. The Man Who Invented Christmas
  5. The Shop Around the Corner

Bob Cram

  1. Gremlins
  2. Trading Places
  3. Sleepy Hollow
  4. The Man Who Came to Dinner
  5. Hogfather

Sailor Monsoon

  1. Joyeux Noel
  2. The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus
  3. One Magic Christmas
  4. The Man Who Invented Christmas
  5. Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas

Marmaduke Karlston

  1. The Family Man
  2. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys
  3. Jack Frost
  4. Deck the Halls
  5. Daddy’s Home 2

Not a lot of overlap, which is cool! I guess I need to see The Man Who Invented Christmas! Fine by me since Dan Stevens can do no wrong in my eyes.
