Christmas films ranked by ThumbScore, the share of everyday viewers who liked each one: family classics, romantic comedies, animated specials and a few horror films set at Christmas.
Films with at least 500 audience ratings come first, so a film a handful of people loved cannot jump the queue. Each card shows the critics' score beside it.
The scores update every morning as new ratings come in, so the order moves a little through the season.
