Based on a true story, Joyeux Noël tells the story of the heartwarming yet bittersweet real-life World War I Christmas truce of 1914, when French, Scottish and German soldiers agreed to lay down their arms on the battlefield in a show of brotherhood and peace during Christmastime. Suspended in No Man’s Land in the midst of war, the soldiers famously sang carols, prayed together and exchanged gifts before the inevitable bloodbath resumed, marking a poignant and historic moment of peace and humanity during deeply inhumane times. The 2005 war drama, which was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2006 Academy Awards, depicts the shared spirit of the human condition through the eyes of homesick soldiers during a holiday meant to celebrate goodwill, and should undoubtedly be on everyone’s Christmas watch list.

Ben Stiller’s 2000 rom-com Meet the Parents captures the mayhem of meeting one’s future in-laws. The film, which is about a young man who visits his girlfriend’s childhood home to meet her parents for the first time during a wedding, is a nostalgic slice of cinematic family chaos and classic misunderstandings. While things get sticky for our awkward, eager-to-please protagonist as he’s terrorized by his partner’s paranoid father (played by an unhinged Robert De Niro), the movie has a certain warmth to it thanks to its cozy Long Island suburban setting, autumnal atmosphere and relatable family themes. (We’ve all been there, Greg.)
