Best films to watch over christmas movie#
In The Heights was the movie event of the summer when cinemas reopened and anyone who couldn’t catch it on the big screen now has the chance to watch it at home. Lin-Manuel Miranda has had a busy year – this is the first of many films he’s involved with on this list. Utilizing some elements of a horror or thriller, The Humans will keep you on the edge of your seat.In The Heights (Photo: Warner Brothers/Macall Polay) Starring Richard Jenkins, Amy Schumer, Beanie Feldstein, and Steven Yeun, this movie explores the deepest fears and dread of a family, as well as the love that exists between them. Directed by Stephen Karam, the film is based on his one-act play of the same name. Not a cheery holiday movie but an incredibly good one, The Humansfollows the story of three generations of a Pennsylvania family as they celebrate Thanksgiving. “The Humans” stars Richard Jenkins, Amy Schumer, Beanie Feldstein, and Steven Yeun. Also, Jennifer Coolidge plays Peter’s aunt who is obsessed with perfecting the local Christmas play, so that’s fun. When Peter starts to play around with the idea of moving back home to New Hampshire, the two friends must confront what they may have known all along. That doesn’t last long and Peter’s mom sets him up on a blind date with her spin instructor, James. To avoid his family’s harassment on his single-ness, Peter brings Nick home in hopes to trick his family into believing they have finally gotten together. Both gay, the two have been friends for over eight years, most of which they’ve spent explaining to people why they’re not dating. So innocent and charming, this new Netflix film tells the story of Peter (played by Plano-native Michael Urie) and his best friend and roommate in Los Angeles Nick (Philemon Chambers). Next “Single All the Way” follows two gay best friends as they visit one of their family’s during the holidays. Kristen Wiig and Michael Huisman also star as Nikolas’ father and aunt, along with Jim Broadbent (another Harry Potter alum) who plays the king. It’s a unique and uplifting origin story of Father Christmas. She tells them a bedtime story about a boy called Nikolas, who sets out on a journey to find his father who previously went to search for a magical land called Elfhelm. A Boy Called Christmas (Netflix)Ī lovely, kid-friendly Christmas movie, this new holiday film stars Maggie Smith ( Downtown Abbey, Harry Potter) as Aunt Ruth, who comes to stay with three children whose mother recently died while their father has to work on Christmas Eve.
These are the best new holiday movies to stream right now. I’ve also included one darker - but incredibly captivating - option that takes place during Thanksgiving. Fitting this criteria for cheeriness, three new Netflix movies have debuted just in time for the holidays. A welcome break from the stress of shopping, decorating, and cooking, movies are a great way to unwind and cozy up with loved ones. Cheesy, funny, and heartwarming is exactly the kind of film I’m looking to watch during the holidays.
