If having an actual personality has always evaded you, here are 30 movies you can claim are Christmas movies to make yourself seem more interesting than you are.
People say Die Hard is Christmas movie because people are so fucking tired of the same rehashed Christmas movies that get played in repeat every year. I like Elf but I’ve seen it enough.
Same with Christmas music. I’m tired of this boomer era shit starting in October.
So my husband also loves this movie. I try every year to like it, but I simply cannot. I wonder if it’s one of those that you find and love as a kid or else it’s hard to get into, haha.
I watched this again a few years ago, and Sinbad has some of the worst delivery of all time, even among people who flexed into an “acting” career. That’s to go among with Arnie’s “unique” delivery of predictable dialogues and bad puns.
It’s a terrible movie, but us Minnesotans overlook that for the unbridled joy of pointing at the screen and saying “I’ve been there!” or “Nancy knows the family that used to live in that house.” (she doesn’t)
You have to buy into the premise of its fantastical, half real/half cartoon reality. If you’re watching it through a serious lens or even as a comedy that takes place in a real world Minneapolis, you’ll never be able to appreciate it.
Idk man, I’ve seen some pretty dope cartoons. I’ve tried looking at it from a million different angles over the years (as I said, husbando loves it, so I do really try and enjoy it as well), and it just doesn’t do it for me. But it’s cool, not everything has to be for everyone, and sometimes you see something at the right time in your life and it just elevates to become something super special to you. I guess I just didn’t have that experience, ah well
Unfortunate, but you’re right. Different strokes for different folks. It’s a staple in my house due to the great one liners I can throw back and forth with the mrs.
Ooooor when I was a kid I’d always put it on during christmas time because it was both A) Not claymation Rudolph again for the third time this month, and B) it DOES take place at a cristmas party so I could count it. Also Gremlins and Nightmare Before Christmas both got halloween time plays and christmas time plays, sue me.
They always complained like you, actually. Very closed minded people unwilling to break from established traditions to form new ones that they otherwise may enjoy without being needlessly judgemental. You’d probably get along!

Jingle All the Way is a better Christmas action movie that’s actually about Christmas.

Phil Hartman was hilarious, or course.
It’s a terrible movie.
Sinbad’s performance is saved by the homemade explosive device scene. Other than that, he’s a hack haha
Honestly Phil Hartman being in it is one of the best parts for me. He was a treasure. RIP

Violent Night is going to be a Christmas tradition of ours. I also checked out Fatman this year.
My girlfriend said the same thing. Not a masterpiece but a fun lil movie to break the monotony of regular holiday movies.
Just got that movie recently 🏴☠️ and you reminded me of it. Thanks stranger!
A tradition is anything that happened to a boomer twice.
Muppet Christmas Carole never gets old.

It’s ok, you don’t have to be scared to be different. Cut loose with a good christmas movie, I reccomend Rambo: First Blood.
Fuck christmas I do my best to ignore it until some annoying person comes along and invites you to some Christmas markets or whatever.
You sound miserable. I hope you find some happiness, somewhere.
May the gloom and funk you are currently experiencing fade away!
Thanks for weighing on a list of Christmas movies, jackass.
