'A Christmas Story' (1983)

If you really want a present, no matter how dangerous it is and how many times your parents have said no, you just have to be very persistent and eventually you'll get it.
'Love Actually' (2003)

Referring to Keira Knightley and Andrew Lincoln's storyline: your husband's friend stalking you is absolutely fine. After all, he really loves you, so that makes it okay, and even romantic.

'The Parent Trap' (1998)

Divorce isn't the end of your parents' relationship, and there's hope they'll get back together. In this movie, at least. Sure, this is quite possibly the dream of many children of divorced parents, but it's seldom the reality.
'Frozen' (2013)

Hiding your true self and running away from your problems is okay. Oh, and make sure you trust every stranger that you encounter on your path while doing so.
