Does the "Modern Holiday Classic" actually exist, or are we living in an era of quantity over quality? This research project analyzes over 80 years of holiday cinema to identify the "Frequency of Greatness"—measuring how often a "must-own" classic is released compared to the total industry output. The central question: Even if quality films are still being made at the same rate, does the massive increase in production volume make them effectively invisible? Bonus questions: Which actors are in the most Christmas movies? Does box office success mean a great film? Why aren't there any good movies in the 1960s and '70s? What films have I missed?
