Moviefone compiled a list of Christmas Scenes: The 10 Best of All Time, and while we agree with some of them … some of them made no sense. That being said, we did agree with their top five and they are presented below.

And before you get to watching … Merry Christmas!

The Best Christmas Movie Scenes

A Christmas Story Becomes A Musical

Is there anyone left who hasn’t seen A Christmas Story (affiliate link) at least once? You know, the charming story set in the 1940′s of Ralphie trying to get a Red Ryder BB rifle for Christmas? Yeah, that one.

Well, Peter Billingsley has gone on to have a pretty successful career in Hollywood as a producer, an occasional actor and even trying some directing, but now he is moving on to staging a musical … of A Christmas Story!

Before you get too excited, no, Mr. Billingsley does not star in the stage production of A Christmas Story: The Musical! He is an Executive Producer on the project that is currently playing at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theater through Dec. 30th.

“A Christmas Story has always meant a lot to me personally,” Billingsley told The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m excited to bring this film to the stage because the story and the characters lend themselves so well to the world of musicals.” ”I am honored to be a part of this project and look forward to bringing the play to more stages,” Billingsley said. “Just think about the idea of a leg-lamp kickline.”

Apparently the production had its premiere last year in Kansas City. No word on when, or if, it will appear in more locations.

Here’s a promo video from the KC production:

Watch Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (1948) For Free

While everyone is familiar with the 1960′s Rain & Bass version of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, this wasn’t the first time the story had been animated.

This version from 1948 was directed by Max Fleischer who is most famous for his 1940′s Superman cartoons, but he was an accomplished animation director for projects other than that. This version is less than nine minutes long, and is just charming in its own way in telling the story of the reindeer that saves Christmas.
