The 25 Best Christmas Movies That Aren't Technically Christmas Movies

Sometimes the best holiday movies aren't the ones with Santa Claus or a Santa Clause. Sometimes it's a movie where you see Christmas in the background and hear it on the soundtrack, like in "The Royal Tenenbaums." Or maybe it's when a New York City cop uses Santa hats in his desperate battle against German terrorists, because he just wants to spend the holidays with his wife! Christmas is used to accentuate characters' loneliness and to remind us of family. Plus, a rain-drenched fight can look really cool when lit by a giant inflatable rooftop snowman. So here are some holiday classics that might not have Christmas in the foreground, but they do have Christmas in their hearts — and on their soundtracks.
