The 9 Netflix Christmas Films Every Maltese Person Needs To Binge On
Quiet nights in plus comfy sofa safe from the (kind of) cold outside equals Christmas movies erryday. Until New Year forces away the Christmas spirit, that is.
To all those Maltese scrooges reading this who have already rolled their eyes three times when reading the above sentence: Move on, this article isn’t for you.
Netflix is a go-to for anyone with an account (if you don’t have one, what are you waiting for?).
Here are some of Lovin Malta’s most recommended films to binge on this festive season.
1. The Christmas Chronicles
7.3/10 IMDb, 66% Rotten Tomatoes
From the people who brought you Harry Potter… that’s literally all we need to say.
This film features badass prisoner Santa loaded with insanely lame Christmas jokes and a cute sibling pair who’s goal for the evening is to save Christmas.
2. Arthur Christmas
7.1/10 IMDb, 92% Rotten Tomatoes
James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie and Bill Nighy are the voices behind this comedy animated film that’s we adults aren’t ashamed to admit we’re loving it as much as the kids are.
3. The Princess Switch
6.1/10 IMDb, 88% Rotten Tomatoes
This film’s bringing back Freaky Friday memes, but we’re really crushing over it for Vanessa Hudgens being brought back to our screens.
4. A Christmas Prince
5.7/10 IMDb, 75% Rotten Tomatoes
A Christmas movie about a journalist who breaks so many data protection rules, we’re surprised it doesn’t end in a court case.
5. Love the Coopers
6.5/10 IMDb, 63% Rotten Tomatoes
The family film on a family soldiering through the holidays and trying to sit on problems they’re keeping from each other.
This is sounding too familiar…
6. Angela’s Christmas
7.3/10 IMDb, 77% Rotten Tomatoes
This short film set in Limerick, Ireland is based on the children’s book Angela and Baby Jesus written by Frank McCourt.
A 77% rating can’t be bad.
7. The Polar Express
6.6/10 IMDb, 56% Rotten Tomatoes
It’s a cutesy film that’s mostly aimed at keeping your kids entertained while you work through that mulled wine.
8. Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special
6.9/10 IMDb, 64% Rotten Tomatoes
You loved Kung Fu Panda 1, 2 and 3 and Kung Fu Panda and Secrets of the Masters and Kung Fu Panda Secrets of the Scroll.
This film isn’t being oversold at all.
9. Grease
7.2/10 IMDb, 87% Rotten Tomatoes
There’s never a reason not to watch Grease. Always watch Grease in any given opportunity. Always.
BONUS: Forrest Gump
8.8/10 IMDb, 73% Rotten Tomatoes
It’s throwback time!
This is one of those film classics that you’ve never watched too many times.
So go for, watch Forrest run in horizontal rain before he becomes a millionaire completely by accident. Because sometimes, that’s all you need to get into the Christmas spirit.
