Best movie's Christmas scenes

We can’t live only for tv series. Holidays are coming and the long, cold days spent at home trying to relax between a lunch and a family dinner becomes the perfect opportunity to review or discover for the first time some of the most beautiful scenes set in the Christmas period. Sit comfortably on the sofa, perhaps with plaid and popcorn at hand, and while your uncle eats panettone, turn up the volume and enjoy some holiday classics.

Any advice? Have a look at our top 5.

#1 Bridget Jones' Diary (2001): "All By Myself" mental breakdowns

Everyone knows that the holidays can be emotionally devastating. More days pass, the higher the stress level goes, for the run to the gifts, the family gathered in front of endless sumptuous meals, inopportune questions by relatives about why you're still unmarried and childless. And then there were these: the dangerous year-end analysis with their cargo of unfulfilled hopes seasoned by good intentions for the next 365 days.

And which movie scene embodies better this mood? If you're single, over twenty, you don't look like Emily Ratajkowski and your life is not so great the answer is Bridget Jones aka Renee Zellweger alone, drunk and in Christmas penguin pajamas, sings "All by myself" using a magazine as a microphone.

If you're a man, attorney career, dumped on December 25 from your wife, then a Christmas reindeer jumper will lift you the spirit. Mark Darcy docet.

#2 Gremlins (1984): The Worst Christmas Story Ever

The reasons for hating Christmas are many, but the worst is the one of Kate Beringer: the night of December 24 her father climb down the chimney dressed up as Santa Claus full of gifts, but he slips and breaks the spine, dying instantly. This monologue full of black humor is one of the most memorable scenes of Gremlins, the 1984 cult film directed by Joe Dante and produced by Steven Spielberg.

You've never seen? Don't worry, you're still in time.

The story: the young Billy receives as gift from his father a Mogwai, a tender animal that should never be wet or fed after midnight. Violation of the rules leads to their transformation into violent and mischievous monsters, gremlins, who sow terror among the inhabitants of the country. You'll just love the scene in which the creepy little creatures go caroling before tormenting Mrs. Deagle.

#3 Polar Express (2004): the true spirit of Christmas

It's Christmas eve night, a train stops right outside the house of a boy who does not believe in Santa Claus. The Polar Express is here for him, to take him to the North Pole. On this trip he discovers friendship, courage, the importance of continuing to believe and which, as Santa Claus tells him, the true spirit of Christmas lies in our heart.

#4 Love Actually (2003): To me you are perfect

Love Actually aka when Andrew Lincoln was not the former police officer Rick Grimes killing zombies, but only Mark who tries to make Juliet fall in love. The scene in which he, sweet and ironic, declares his love to the character played by Keira Knightley with a series of cartels is one of the most romantic in 2000s movies.

Take note: "With any luck by next year - I'll be going out with one of these girl [Photo of four fashion models cut out from newspapers] - But for now let me say - without hope or agenda - just because it's Christmas - At Christmas you tell the truth - to me you are perfect - And my wasted  heart will love you - until you look like this [picture of a mummy] - Merry Christmas”.

#5 Sex and the City (2008): you are not alone

A friend is a treasure. And when Miranda, no husband and no son, the night of December 31 calls depressed Carrie, she comes out from under the covers and in pajamas and fur, and rushes through the streets of a snowy New York not to make her feel alone. In one scene there is everything: fashion, feeling, snow, NY, friendship.

In Carrie we still trust.
