I put this on one year and the family was watching. My mother declared it was too scary and guilted everyone into turning it off and playing board games with her instead. So now we don’t get to watch it on Christmas. I was 32 when that happened.
Star Trek: Generations counts as a Christmas movie as well.
I’m more of a Lord of the Rings guy.
*for Christmas
Makes sense. They each came out a week or two before Christmas. I remember finishing my college finals each year and then going to see them with my friends before going home.
Plus they have elves.
For years I would start reading the Hobbit all the way through Return of the King around Christmas, every year
My partner and I are watching the entire extended trilogy over the holidays as well… ^^
I never thought of that! I am going to use this argument with the family this year…
I’m very close to finishing my current TNG rewatch and am looking forward to throwing on Generations to commemorate the season.

Come out to the coast, we’ll get together, have a few laughs…
Also Rambo First Blood.
Also Gremlins.
Gremlins is the best especially the story about her father.
As someone who’s become more and more of a Scrooge over the years, Gremlins is my partner and I’s go to “Not Christmas” Movie
Similar in vibes, though more “Christmasy” Krampus (2015) has become another of my holiday staples.
My name is Mott. I’m the barber.
“Computer, play a British holiday film.”
computer plays The Great Escape
One of my favorites!
And now I’m whistling in my head…
Also a good British one : Hogsfather
My family watches the Harry Potter movies during December. Also tremors.
It’s kind of hard for me to watch the HP movies these days with all the Rowling stuff, which is unfortunate because Radcliffe and Watson have stood up to Rowling’s transphobia. There’s also a lot of stuff from reading the books as a kid that is, in retrospect, rather horrible.
Maybe I could see myself one day re-watching them through a means that doesn’t directly fund Rowling (or, in the future, her estate, if its activities are malicious) and enjoy the work of the other people who aren’t involved with the stuff Rowling is doing, but for me, that day is not today; I just feel too conflicted about it.
For now, though, if I want to enjoy Radcliffe, I throw on 2022’s Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.
Guns Akimbo was good too
through a means that doesn’t directly fund Rowling
YoHoHo, it’s Christmas on the high seas :)
No
