The holiday season will see a number of films released in theaters with a diverse amount of films.

However, for those not interested in going to cinemas and prefer to stay home, there are a number of films for the family to see, and Latin Post.com helps you pick out the best ones to watch:

Love Actually

For those interested in a romantic comedy, Richard Curtis' classic hyperlink will be a great fit. Starring an all-star cast that includes Colin Firth, Keira Knightley, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant, the film follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England. The movie was a huge hit back in 2003 and was even nominated for two Golden Globes. It's likely to appeal to older audiences if not family audiences.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Ron Howard's classic 2000 Christmas fable based on Dr. Seuss should be a great film for the younger audiences and families. The movie, starring Jim Carrey, tells the story of a creature who is intent on stealing Christmas. The film is filled with beautiful sets and great costumes and really brings audiences into the world of Dr. Seuss. When the film was released 14 years ago it was nominated for three Academy Awards and went on to win for its incredible makeup effects. While it scored mixed reviews, this film remains a classic filled with laughs and memorable sequences.

The Ten Commandments 

For those audiences not interested in Ridley Scott's overblown special effects extravaganza, "Exodus: Gods and Kings," Cecil B. Demille's classic epic inspired by the book of Exodus should be a great choice. The film, starring Charlton Heston, tells the story of the Egyptian Prince, Moses, who learns of his true heritage as a Hebrew and his divine mission as the deliverer of his people. The film is an epic 220 minutes so it requires audiences to have time. However, it still dazzles even if the 1956 special effects seem a bit outdated and provides an epic like no other film of its time.

Gremlins

For audiences feeling a little wild, the 1984 classic Gremlins is a great fit. Directed by Joe Dante, the film tells the story of a boy who inadvertently breaks three important rules concerning his new pet and unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous monsters on a small town. The film is filled with scary sequences as well as some extremely comic moments. The film remains a classic and spawned some sequels. However, stay away from those and watch the original, which is truly a fun and enjoyable experience.

It's a Wonderful Life

One of the most beloved holiday films is without a doubt Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life." The film stars legendary actors James Stewart and Donna Reed and tells the story of an angel who helps a compassionate but despairingly frustrated businessman by showing what life would have been like if he never existed. The film was nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director and continues to be ranked among the best movies of all time. For those interested in revisiting the past, this will a great feel good movie.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

For those interested in seeing Tim Burton's "Big Eyes," the 1993 stop motion classics by Henry Selick and produced by Burton should be a great option.

The film is known as being one of the first stop motion features and for having put Selick on the map as a filmmakers. Burton also contributed to the film's technique and that catapulted other films such as "Frankenweenie," "James and the Giant Peach" and "Corpse Bride."

Other films that will be enjoyable for the holiday season include "Miracle on 34th Street," "Tyler Perry, A Madea Christmas," "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," "Batman Returns" and "Bad Santa."
