these aren't in any particular order. Some are based around Christmas completely and some just happen to have some Christmas in them. Either way, these are movies I watch between Thanksgiving and December 25 for Christmas cheer.

  • Love Actually : This movie is hands down adorable. If you're not turned into a gibbering idiot over the wonderfulness of this movie by the end of it, you might want to check that you have a heart. Plus it has an amazing cast.
  • Die Hard : This movie is a tradition at our house every year which might seem a little bizarre but whatevs. One of the best Christmas action movies of your life. Its silly, its got Alan Rickman being fucking bad ass and sexy, and the best part is when Hans yells at the dude to shoot the glass first in the dude's native German and then when he doesn't seem to get it, he yell...

in no particular order

  • Michael Keaton is amazingly funny. His BJ is over the top and one of my heroes. There, I said it.
  • Danny Elfman's score. This pretty much goes without saying but it is so catchy and iconic now.
  • It captures Alec Baldwin in a rightfully Baldwin state of cuteness. That plaid shirt, those glasses, his model of the town!
  • "I myself am strange and unusual." Wittle Winona in full goth like regalia. Probably the creators of Hot Topic had many wet dreams about Lydia. Ew, I just grossed myself out. (After researching it, the film and store opened in the same year, wow!).
  • The sandworms! And all the other cool visual fantastical things. Shrunken head guy and the dead football team, the attenti...
