I watch Lord Of The Rings at Christmas.
-
it has elves
-
the fellowship set out from Rivendell on the 25th of December
-
Gandalf has a santa-like beard
I rest my case
Don’t forget they all came out in December! That’s the only thing that matters.
In a parallel universe multiplex somewhere, Christopher Lee smashed it as Krampus.
I’m pretty sure that Krampus is actually based on his activities during the second world war.
Okay but why aren’t some of these Christmas season movies? I think narnia really isn’t that big of a stretch
Snow ≠ Christmas
It was only wintery because of the witch. If anything, it’s Easter themed, since it’s literally a crucifixion allegory.
Edit: I’m a big dumb wrong person.
@ZeroCool @qooqie @PapaStevesy the witch cursed Narnia so that it’s always winter and never Christmas.
What’s your case for Home Alone then?
That’s a Christmas movie to the core.
Because its an article specifically meant to infuriate people who get into these kinds of discussions.
Sorry, Onion, some of these literally have Christmas in their titles. That’s a stretch, even for you. XD

“If you _____ it means you have no personality” is played out
Agreed. Saying everything isn’t a personality isn’t a personality either.
If you like Christmas and typical Christmas things you are an NPC without a soul.
Unfortunately it’s not. People are so desperate to engage with others about pop culture and not have to face the horrible truth about the world we live in, that they really lean into stupid irrelevant debates about whether or not a movie is a Christmas movie.
It’s great that as Lemmy users, we’re above such trivial nonsense and would never waste multiple minutes debating with strangers about any of this piff.
People say Die Hard is Christmas movie because people are so fucking tired of the same rehashed Christmas movies that get played in repeat every year. I like Elf but I’ve seen it enough.
Same with Christmas music. I’m tired of this boomer era shit starting in October.
Violent Night is going to be a Christmas tradition of ours. I also checked out Fatman this year.
Jingle All the Way is a better Christmas action movie that’s actually about Christmas.
So my husband also loves this movie. I try every year to like it, but I simply cannot. I wonder if it’s one of those that you find and love as a kid or else it’s hard to get into, haha.
I watched this again a few years ago, and Sinbad has some of the worst delivery of all time, even among people who flexed into an “acting” career. That’s to go among with Arnie’s “unique” delivery of predictable dialogues and bad puns.
Phil Hartman was hilarious, or course.
It’s a terrible movie.
You have to buy into the premise of its fantastical, half real/half cartoon reality. If you’re watching it through a serious lens or even as a comedy that takes place in a real world Minneapolis, you’ll never be able to appreciate it.
Ooooor when I was a kid I’d always put it on during christmas time because it was both A) Not claymation Rudolph again for the third time this month, and B) it DOES take place at a cristmas party so I could count it. Also Gremlins and Nightmare Before Christmas both got halloween time plays and christmas time plays, sue me.
Fuck christmas I do my best to ignore it until some annoying person comes along and invites you to some Christmas markets or whatever.
