Advent calendar: one Christmas movie a day, December 1 to 24

24 Christmas movies, one per door from December 1 to 24: open door 1 with Home Alone (1990) and finish on the 24th with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001). The movies alone add up to 36 hrs 10 of viewing at least.

One Christmas movie a day from December 1 to 24: the classics (Home Alone, Love Actually, It's a Wonderful Life), animation (Klaus, The Grinch), French cinema (Santa Claus Is a Stinker, French Fried Vacation 2) and a few curveballs (Die Hard, Violent Night). Door 16, Iron Man 3, falls on the day Avengers: Doomsday opens in France.
