Any Christmas movies to recommend?
 

one little known one I will recommend is a nice little thriller from about 1980 called Silent Partner with Elliot Gould.

I personally like the original "Black Christmas" starring John Saxon and "Santa's Slay" which is a great little horror comedy.
Any film where Fran Dresher gets violently killed just spells out Happy Holidays;)

Yup, holiday in handcufs :)
odd choice perhaps and old to. But great movie

Santa Claus Conquers The Martians

A perennial fixture of most ?worst movies ever? lists, this 1965 science-fiction film, in which Santa is kidnapped by Martians for the purpose of handing out presents to Martian children, is a pretty kooky viewing experience. There?s no denying that it?s basically terrible, but it?s pretty damn funny in places too, and it?s adoption by the brilliant nineties comedy series Mystery Science Theatre 3000 has only served to grow its cult. There?s a musical based on the movie that runs in both Chicago and California. Someday I will attend. I will be truly happy to do so.

I watch Black Christmas every year. It must be the way it's shot or something because it creeps me out every time.

Is there *REALLY* anything else???

There is always the christmas classic, Gremlins.

:1orglaugh .... memory's :)

you're right, forgot Gremlins was a Christmas movie - i saw it once when it came out and never again, i will get it and watch it Christmas week.

somebody suggested Rocky4 and Die Hard.

Black Christmas added to my list, been ages since I saw it.

I get Die Hard, but how is Rocky 4 a Christmas movie?

Billy Bob Thorton in Bad Santa ..... The best scene, he's a department store santa ass fucking a fat sales girl in a dressing room and he tells her "you ain't gonna shit right for a week" lol.

34 Mutilations on Miracle Street.



Oh wait, that's just in the writing stages. :D

ha i have no idea, i don't think i saw Rocky 4 - somebody told me it could be a Christmas movie. nothing in it about Christmas?

I loved that movie. Christopher Plummer was so good in it. Whenever I see anyone use their fridge as a safe, I think about Elliott Gould stashing the key in the jelly.

I'd agree with the others here who said the original "Black Christmas" and I actually didn't hate the remake. It had some pretty nasty kills in it and had a nice little mean streak running through it.

Another Christmas classic is of course "A Christmas Story"

^^^ Love that movie. Very controversial when it came out.

Also liked the movie mentioned in the above quote as the "earlier film with a similar premise that had gone unnoticed."

^^ John Waters is quoted as saying Christmas Evil is "greatest Christmas movie ever made."

yeah Christopher Plummer was very scary, haven't seen the movie in years but i remember Elliot Gould banging a hot brunette in it. and for John Candy fans, he's in it in a small non-comedic role, very young.

Christmas Story is my all time favorite Christmas movie, i took last year off from it, i will watch this year. If there was a list of all time great movie Dads, Darren McGavin as Ralphie's old man would be right up there.

Bleh....

Part 2 consisted mainly of footage from Part 1, as Ricky tells his brothers story for most of the movie. Ricky eventually has his own story, but it's only for the last third of the movie.

Part 2 did spawn the internet meme "Garbage Day," though.

useless trivia: I was in a band "Black Christmas", named after the original...and oddly enough not the only Bob Clark movie I borrowed a band name from...the other was "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" (hard band name to put on a marquee though due to the length).

Even more useless trivia: Bob Clark directed both Black Christmas and A Christmas Story...two very different Christmas movies...

you gotta be shittin me...:(:Oh crap:helpme

Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things...good ol Alan Ormsby. gotta see that film again, its been many years-


Sad that Bob Clark's last films were Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 and The Karate Dog, he should have done some more horror...

Four Christmases is hilarious.

the original is very poor quality. and im guessing they were hi filming it.

Bad Santa: fuck me santa, fuck me santa, fuck me santa hahahah
Love Actually: so sweet!

Hellboy III

:1orglaugh

Rocky fights Ivan Drago on Christmas Day, that's about it :)

Bad Santa is an absolute classic! Very funny :pimp

:1orglaugh .. That's actually a great band name :thumbsup

Miracle on 34th street and It's a wonderful life.
