The holidays—that time between Thanksgiving and New Year's—jam more together time together than any other time during the year. And all that being together calls for movies to watch together to celebrate the season or movies to watch alone to survive the season.

Also included are thoughtful films like John Huston's rendering of James Joyce's The Dead, a poignant look at life and Joyeux Noel, based on the true story of a spontaneous cease-fire between German and Allied troops on Christmas Eve 1914.
