- Silent Night, Deadly Night
- The Dorm that Dripped Blood
- The Nightmare before Christmas
- How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
- Love Actually
- A Charlie Brown Christmas
- Scrooged
- The Christmas Chronicles
- The Muppet’s Christmas Carol
- National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
- Elf
- Bad Santa
- The Santa Clause
- Die Hard
- Lethal Weapon
Things I learned:
- Gas used to be 74 cents in the late 80s (Die Hard).
- Twinkies are popular around Christmas. (Several movies)
- Trump wasn’t liked even in the 80s (Scrooged – as Frank Cross was in the sewers he asked, “What is this, the Trump Tower?”)
- Christmas can be a horror for lots of people. Or, horror isn’t exclusive to Halloween.
- When you are in one Christmas movie, you are bound to be in another. (I mean, Alan Rickman. Really? All the Harry Potter movies, Love Actually, and Die Hard.)
- Hallmark has capitalized on reusing actors/actresses from big screen Christmas movies.
- If you are making a Christmas movie, what the hell, make another one and start a series.
- Kevin never called the cops in Home Alone because the police didn’t believe John McClane, and he was a cop. Why would they believe an eight year old?
- Just because you are Jewish, does not mean you can’t be Santa Claus (Ed Asner for one in Elf).
- If you can be Elvis in one movie (Kurt Russell in Elvis – 1979), you can impersonate him in another (The Christmas Chronicles) and another (3,000 Miles to Graceland) after doing his voice (Forest Gump). But I guess after touching Elvis (In 1963, Kurt Russell, age 12, kicked Elvis in the shin in A Day at the World’s Fair), he becomes a part of you and you may not have a Blue Christmas.
- Richard Donner was born to make Christmas movies (Just from my list above: Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, and Scrooged). Could be his last name.
- Danny Elfman likes to do Christmas movies. (Could be his last name too. You get to look up his list because I did not see all he did this year.)
