It's a shame "Pieces of April" is always overlooked. A sweet film.
I like TRADING PLACES and I love GREMLINS. In all honesty though, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS should also be on this list.
Taxi 3 (2003) 🎅.
Where Is Krampus?
The Night Before from 2015 is the best R rated holiday movie with Seth Rogen, Anthony Mackie and Joseph Gordon-Levitt to have a wonderful holiday season together with adult content, sexual stuff and great script. It’s a perfect movie for us adults alike.
One magic Christmas was alright
No Lethal Weapon?
There's a Christmas movie my late brother used to like which would fit in here.
It's called "P2" and it stars Rachel Nicholls as a girl who works for a company, wanting to leave the office Christmas party after being sexually harassed, only to have the security guard (Wes Bentley) , a lonely man, kidnap her and force her to spend Christmas with him.
She escapes, and the rest of the movie is her trying to escape from him while being locked into the parking garage.
One scene includes the security guard tying up the sexual harrasser to a chair, and then driving his car against the wall, crushing him.
It's like a thriller set at Christmas.
What about the Harry Potter movies?
"Rare Exports) out of Finland is the telling of the rediscovery and capture of the Elf who punished Bad Children.
Lethal Weapon?
Lethal weapon any one?
Die hard is the king of holiday action movies.
Iron Man 3 isn't the only MCU Christmas project. There is also Hawkeye. Which they need to update to.
What about Edward Scissorhands?? That's an alternative Christmas movie
"Merry Christmas"
Old Lady: "there was a little girl murdered in the park today"
That conversation took a sharp dark turn
I watch Black Christmas every Christmas Eve. If it was good enough for Elvis? It’s good enough for me.
I don't have my own top 10, but I'll give my list from top to bottom of alternative Christmas movies:
1.) Die Hard–Saving people who were held hostage during a Christmas party and trying to rekindle marriage and family life during the holidays
2.) Die Hard 2–Trying to prevent future hackings of harm intentions during holiday season travels
3.) Rocky IV–A patriotic underdog in a boxing match against a Communist on Christmas Day to avenge his friend's death
4.) Rent–Starts and ends on Christmas Eve while going through an entire year of ups and downs within personal and emotional struggles; literally an 80s/90s It's A Wonderful Life set in NYC during the HIV/AIDS epidemic
5.) Lethal Weapon–Lonesome suicidal cop who finds bonding a companionship with his cop buddy during the holiday season
Question: Would Wakko’s Wish qualify for this list?
6 years? Time to remake this list.
I consider Goodfellas to be a Christmas movie.
I love you guys at Watchmojo, but Bruce Willis himself emphatically stated that "Die Hard" is absolutely NOT a Christmas movie. And he seemed rather frustrated with people who keep saying that it is. So….I'll take the word of Mr. Willis. 😉
maybe alt movies but holiday tis the season not in my book or season ain't gonna happen who would watch any of these not me for sure
These aren't Christmas films….
No Kiss Kiss or Lethal Weapon? Wow.
Update SHAZAM and Hawkeye!
Replace Iron Man 3 with Lethal Weapon its better than Iron Man 3
Die Hard and Lethal Weapon shut be hire
There are certain movies we watch every year on Christmas Day. A Christmas Story, Polar Express and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation are a tradition in our house. But there are some non-Christmas movies we watch every year in the days leading up to Christmas from December 20-24. Just to name a few:
Cinderella
The Wizard of Oz
Uncle Buck
Father of the Bride
Gremlins
The Ref
Eyes Wide Shut?! Yeah, Happy Holidays! Here's some orgy porn! And for New Years, an STD!
Favourites are Black Christmas (1974 Canadian film and even it's 2006 remake), Jack Frost (mutant killer snowman), Santa's Slay, Silent Night (killer Santa)
There's also P2 (thriller in underground parking lot and starring Wes Bentley and Rachel Nichols) and ATM with Josh Peck and Alice Eve
The ref 1994 if there was a witness but monster inc style
(The witness runs and hide after seeing everything founds a hiding place behind the stairs Gus looks around hears something behind the stairs pretends to walk out the door the witness looks around to see if he’s really gone then makes it to the door opens it but Gus walks behind him or her)
Witness: yikes!
(Gus closes the door and pushes the witness against the wall and grabs him or her under the chin)
Gus: what did you see!?!?
Witness:see? I didn’t see anything
Gus: yes you did I saw you snooping around peeking at everything
Witness: hey don’t go all pointing fingers at me if you would’ve done the right thing like turning yourself over to the police and wouldn’t done anything cold none of this wouldn’t happen
Gus: cold!?! What the fuck are you… cold? Mmm. I think we can make this work out. What happens at midnight?
Witness: uhh Christmas is here ?
Gus: there’s gonna be a curfew meaning no one is allowed to leave their houses because of me! Which mean the police are gonna be doing what?
Witness: eating donuts and drinking coffee?
Gus: looking for me! They’re gonna be looking for me, you fucking idiot! See that clock (grabs the witness arms) when the big hand is pointing up and the little hand is pointing up the bickering hostage couples family will be here for dinner and when the big hand points down( grab the witness other arm and points down) my partner will be calling me and telling me that he’s got us a boat. Which mean you’re gonna stay and not rat me out on any authority and if you as so much as leave and tell the cops where I am and if they get here while I’m still here (points the gun at the witness face as a threat) I’m gonna make you life a misery and make you wish you were never born like you never came out of your mothers vagina. Get the point?
The witness:mmm hmm
(Nods his or her head for yes)
Little known fact all the characters from the ref are all a bunch of Karen’s
I never really like the ref because to much arguing and I hate watching Denis Leary play a heartless cold evil cat burglar who’s also a coward because he said he’s gonna shot someone but he doesn’t and worst no nudity just potty mouth and swearing I mean what the point of making an r rated movie if it doesn’t have any nudity or sex or violence like bloody violence
Sometime I think Randall from monster inc could be gus’s pet
And what’s worst about the ref is no attractive people like girls or boys
I never liked the ref I hate watching Denis Leary play a heartless cold evil cat burglar who’s also a coward because he doesn’t shoot anyone when he said he’s gonna shoot someone and they’re no nudity just potty mouth and swearing in that movie I mean what the point of showing an r rated movie with no nudity or attractive people they’re aren’t anyone good looking people
Not surprised by no1 and not real happy about it . My favorite 5
1. The ref
2. Badder santa
3. Black Christmas
4. Batman returns
5. Krampus
My favorite is #1
Lethal Weapon AND Psycho are BOTH Christmas movies!! 👍
If they arranged this after "SHAZAM", that movie would at least be an honorable mention here. Anyway, Merry Christmas and Good luck to the COVID victims who still live!
