Just watched Catch Me If You Can on Christmas night with the family, and there were several Christmas references. Definitely a Christmas movie, and prime Spielberg, DiCaprio, and Hanks.
Let’s put it like this:
Star Trek in general has more Christmas spirit in it than all snowy/pinetree/happy clappy movies combined.
=> Fully automated luxury gay space communism.
If a movie has a scene take place at Xmas time… It’s NOT an Xmas movie
Die Hard takes place at the Xmas party, the soundtrack features Xmas songs, Xmas themes…it’s an Xmas Movie!
For me, it is and that’s my only requirement.
Lethal Weapon and Batman Returns, too.
I recall a thread on Reddit years ago where a dude was claiming Die Hard isn’t a christmas movie just because it takes place at Christmas time and listed a bunch of other requirements that everyone in the comments was pointing out Die Hard also meets.
The biggest one being that a miracle has to happen. Well, it’s a fucking miracle that John survived.
It also “snows” in LA with white paper constantly raining from the sky.
This is good information
Just doing my part to spread the holiday cheer in the name of the Federation.
Brazil is my personal favorite Christmas movie :3
Love it to death.
I just finished watching Patrick Stewart’s version of a Christmas Carol … worth it if you want some ACTING!
I love Patrick Stewart, but George C Scott will always be Scrooge to me.
Pfft, my son KILLED IT as Scrooge in his 4th grade school play. It inspired him to pursue a career as an unemployed actor, which he has been very successful at. The unemployed part, not the actor part.
More partial to The Muppet Christmas Carol, though Stewart’s performance is wonderful.
Slightly different vibe, but I guess it still counts for this thread thanks to the link to Pigs In Space
Pigs In Space
I forgot all about Captain Link Hogthrob lol.
He’s almost too charismatic. You can’t help but be like “yeah, he’s right, maybe Christmas is a humbug…”
His portrayal of working out how to laugh near the end really got me.
I swear, that man could sell snow to Inuits
Does it?
I was so horrifically bored that I just stopped watching when the sun exploded.
Make sure to watch the complete version with the Geordie torture… For completeness sake.
I’m sorry, the what?
Add First Blood to that list.
Just don’t go on any manhunts yourself.
No, that was Drew Struzan.
Similarly, Batman: Arkham Origins is a Christmas game.
Add Hawkeye to this now.
