Elf (2003)

Elf is the purest holiday movie there is—and by extension, probably the purest movie of all time. Maybe it’s because when I was a kid, my dream was to work as an elf at the gingerbread house at The Grove in Los Angeles (IYKYK), but anytime this movie is on, nothing else but snow and Christmas and candy matters. Instant happy. —Shanna Shipin, contributing editor
