What an amazing movie. Throughout 2014, I set intervals in my phone's calendar that served as a countdown to Christmas of sorts. On each of these days, I listened to the theme music to Elf. That haunting, sweet, beautiful, transcendent, life-affirming theme music. And then, when I watched it in December as part of the Christmas season, I heard that theme music and my heart melted and everything felt right. Will Ferrell is at his finest in this amazing movie that is so bitingly funny and so heart-warmingly sweet that it couldn't be included anywhere but the top ten of this list.
