‘Tis the season for people to partake in the company of loved ones, goodwill and cheer but when that wears off you can turn to some commerciaized emotional hyperbole (movies) that along with the Charlie Brown and Nat King Cole ought to keep the season jolly.
10. Lethal Weapon (Mr. Joshua: “It’s Christmas!”)
9. Ernest Saves Christmas (one of the best Ernest movies out there second maybe only to Goes to Jail)
8. Rocky IV (Sly must go train in the cold Siberian tundra for his fight with Drago on December 25)
7. Elf (It was a cute movie and you need a few of those)
6. Die Hard (Argyle playing Run DMC is worth it alone)
5. It’s a Wonderful Life (Bruce Wayne from Batman TAS episode 102 Christmas With the Joker – “It’s not relentlessly cheerful is it.”)
4. Home Alone (slap stick Pesci style)
3. Mirale on 34th Street (1947) (gotta love screwing the Government with it’s own legal loopholes)
2. A Christmas Story (It had Darin “The Night Stalker” McGavin as the gruff dad)
1. Scrooged (The Night the Reindeer Died)
Bonus: Santa Claus (my favorite when I was a kid) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089961/
Have a good one.
If you liked “Elf”, then you might also enjoy “The Happy Elf”, which is an animated film. The story follows an elf attempting to bring Christmas to a town named Bluesville. Great for kids young and old.
