I watch Lord Of The Rings at Christmas.

  • it has elves

  • the fellowship set out from Rivendell on the 25th of December

  • Gandalf has a santa-like beard

I rest my case

    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.

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

    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.

    Phil Hartman was hilarious, or course.

    It's a terrible movie.

    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

    I saw some clickbait article the other day “movies you didn’t realize were Christmas movies” and it was full of obvious Christmas movies. #1 was Its a Wonderful Life………

    Okay but why aren’t some of these Christmas season movies? I think narnia really isn’t that big of a stretch

    Snow ≠ Christmas

    It was only wintery because of the witch. If anything, it's Easter themed, since it's literally a crucifixion allegory.

    Edit: I'm a big dumb wrong person.

    Santa is literally in the book. He arms the children.

    It really depends on whether you can stomach watching Kevin Spacey or not, but The Ref is one of the greatest Christmas movies imo

    'The Ref' is a glaring omission. Burn the website down.

    Die hard should have been on one and not lethal weapon. Other than that I think those are excellent choices.

    🤷‍♀️ I don't enjoy traditional Christmas movies that much and I think it's fun to do something different.

    There are 8 billion of us, it's pretty tough to say something original all the time.

    Sorry, Onion, some of these literally have Christmas in their titles. That's a stretch, even for you. XD

    "get a personality" and "that's your whole personality" is just lazy writing. it's a generic insult deployed against anyone who likes a thing that says nothing about the person or the thing. it's the satire equivalent to "vegan bad". why should I read an article written by someone who makes parroting bland criticisms from the internet their whole personality?
