    Thanks that was fun!

  2. I’m giggling at this a lot. Angels With Even Filthier Souls ISN’T EVEN REAL.
    American Psycho? Never heard of it.
    Planes, Trains and Automobiles is CLEARLY a Thanksgiving movie. I will fight you.
    I am smol but bitey.

      • “help, help – I’m being oppressed. Come & see the violence inherent in the system…”

        …much as I’d endorse the holy grail for it’s famously concise breakdown of the concept of an anarcho-syndicalist commune in a feudal context (& the math concerning coconut-laden swallows in flight) I’m gonna have to come out in favor of The Life of Brian as a christmas movie

        …I know it’s fashionable to turn things into trilogies these days but surely The Life of Brian is one of the few Christmas movies that tries to tell that story from beginning to sort of end

        …sort of like the antichrist/Armageddon thing & Good Omens

        …which isn’t a christmas movie – obviously – so I don’t know why I even brought it up.

  5. #4 needs to be the 1974 McDonalds training film “Dealing With Difficult Customers: A Guide for Managers in Problem-Solving the McDonalds Way.”

    That film is 16 1/2 minutes of pure Christmas joy, as well as a useful guide on to do when customers feel Filet O Fishes are inadequately cooked.

  6. Die Hard is the greatest Xmas movie ever. It is the heart warming story of how a bunch of German Terrorists and the black nerd who was also the only black guy in Top Gun help John McCane rebuild the Nakatone Tower after the FBI blew it up just in time for the Nakatone Xmas party.

    But I’ve only seen it backwards.
