Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
It’s an extremely convoluted murder mystery that just happens to take place during Christmas.
Despite the insanely incomprehensible writing, it has some of the best dialogue ever written, and Robert Downey JR nails his role as a small time criminal who accidentally gets a movie role as a detective, but gets dragged into a real life murder case.
Better Off Dead
Klaus for me. Great animation, and cool story and characters
A christmas carol with Patrick Stewart as Scrooge. And, of course, Die hard. Edit: I forgot - Home alone.
Emmett Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas has been a favourite of mine since it came out. Another Jim Henson classic.
Die Hard, obviously.
There’s on improv puppet troupe that does Die Hard as a musical and combines it with A Christmas Carol. It’s great.
I hadn’t seen them before, so for a few Christmases, my partner and I watched The Lord of the Rings movies because any movie with an elf counts as a Christmas movie.
Die Hard and A Christmas Story as always, but I’ve also added another one (not a movie), the Hawkeye series.
Does the Lord Of The Ring extended trilogy count?
What’s the one with Arnold and Sinbad?
Jingle all the way?
Yes that’s the one. Somehow they get Arnold yelling about bombs and choppers into a xmas movie. Classic.
You know what’s almost guaranteed to be a bad movie? Any movies specifically written to be a Christmas movie.
Seriously it’s like wading through waist high sewage till something good drifts along.
So in likelihood of me to watch them:
- Muppet Christmas movies (Christmas carol and Muppet Family Christmas are lots fo fun)
- Tokyo Godfathers
- Edward scissor hands
- Klaus
- Gremlins
If I’m depressed, A Charlie Brown Christmas. If not, the 1966 special How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. Mr. Robot S04 is a favorite as well.
I haven’t seen many classic Christmas films though so I plan on broadening my horizons. My mom plans on showing my Diehard this year, I plan on watching FX/BBC’s rendition of A Christmas Carol, and I likely will see the 2000 Grinch movie with a friend.
It’s a wonderful life
