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.

Trapped in Paradise for when we’re all craving that Nicholas Cage fix.

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

I had a big thing for Amy smart.

I even really like that role for her as the girl next door type.

But it was made out to be hilarious. And besides the Christmas lights destruction scene it really wasn’t imo.
 
Fire up the Fast and Furious series for some good "family" fun....take a swig of the egg nog whenever Vin says 'family'

It was 90 minutes of Ryan Reynolds being Ryan Reynolds. If you are tired of that I can totally see why you wouldn’t enjoy it that much. And Amy Smart is definitely the highlight of the movie.

Best line from the movie, about why Dinklemen is not to be feared as a rival for Amy Smarts attention, “he’s Jersey ... he ski’s in his jeans”.
 
people who do not watch either snoopy's or ralphy's yuletide tours de force, repeatedly, are sacrilegious, straight up heathens, and should immediately light candles of penance, cuz
'he see's you when ur sleeping, he knows when ur awake, he knows when you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!'
now, please open your hymnals to page 43, and joyfully humm along.

I love love love van wilder and Deadpool.

Something about this version just didn’t grab me. I can’t put my finger on it, but it just didn’t hit.

Yes that is a good line. I’m a fan of all shots at New Jersey
