Offbeat Holiday Movies

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Just Friends

Yup

A good one for kid's is Arthur Christmas. The scenes with the grandfather are especially good. It's the typical quirky English humor by Aardman Animation, the company that makes the Wallace and Gromit animated movies and shows.

I would agree with 'The Ref' and add 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' as well.

Batman Returns.

EDIT: I see that's on the list of 25.

My kids are watching The Grinch Musical on Hulu on a daily basis.

The Christmas Chronicles - Kurt Russell is so friggin hip as Santa. Carries the film.

Toys of Terror - A movie that I think is on TV tonight for first time.

Queen Latifah in Last Holiday is surprisingly good.

I've seen all the regulars ten times over. My weekend is pretty freed up and I would like some good holiday specials/movies that might not be on the "usual" list.

• Really think about what you're going to post. "Love, Actually" is not a sleeper. Neither is "Die Hard".
• Open to period TV specials. Have seen garbage like Donny and Marie Christmas specials and enjoyed that kitsch

Oh, and the first person that says "Elf" gets punched in the throat by Fishy.

Thanks for the type of thread that makes me glad you haven't Ignored me.

Even with unlikelihood that I'll follow up and watch from this list, it's good to know the hive mind has been activated on this topic just in case.

If your watch total on "Bad Santa" hasn't yet hit 10, I recommend putting another viewing into your mix. Though directed by Terry Zwigoff, it holds status as "my favorite Coen Brothers movie," because of their joint credit as Executive Producers.

And if you've already hit your 10-watch quota on "Bad Santa," Zwigoff's "Crumb" & "Ghost World" aren't holiday movies, but they also aren't on "usual" lists.

Just Friends

Yup

Really?

I found it to have only a small amount of funny scenes. Wasn’t nearly as funny as i was told it would be.

It’s fine. But there are def funnier and better movies for this list imo
