      There’s on improv puppet troupe that does Die Hard as a musical and combines it with A Christmas Carol. It’s great.

      A christmas carol with Patrick Stewart as Scrooge. And, of course, Die hard. Edit: I forgot - Home alone.

    You know what’s almost guaranteed to be a bad movie? Any movies specifically written to be a Christmas movie.

    Seriously it’s like wading through waist high sewage till something good drifts along.

    So in likelihood of me to watch them:

    1. Muppet Christmas movies (Christmas carol and Muppet Family Christmas are lots fo fun)
    2. Tokyo Godfathers
    3. Edward scissor hands
    4. Klaus
    5. Gremlins

        Yes that’s the one. Somehow they get Arnold yelling about bombs and choppers into a xmas movie. Classic.

    I hadn’t seen them before, so for a few Christmases, my partner and I watched The Lord of the Rings movies because any movie with an elf counts as a Christmas movie.

    Finally we can talk about Christmas without forcing Santa to execute an elf.

    Die Hard and A Christmas Story as always, but I’ve also added another one (not a movie), the Hawkeye series.

    Emmett Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas has been a favourite of mine since it came out. Another Jim Henson classic.

    It’s definitely Klaus or Arthur Christmas. Klaus is just beautiful and amazing, and Arthur Christmas is hilarious. I always laugh at the “worry me” scene.

    If I’m depressed, A Charlie Brown Christmas. If not, the 1966 special How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. Mr. Robot S04 is a favorite as well.

    I haven’t seen many classic Christmas films though so I plan on broadening my horizons. My mom plans on showing my Diehard this year, I plan on watching FX/BBC’s rendition of A Christmas Carol, and I likely will see the 2000 Grinch movie with a friend.
