Seriously one of the better horror movies I’ve seen, surrounded by jingle bells and tinsel.

WHITE CHRISTMAS (1954)
Great Irving Berlin songs, great performances, and a plot you shouldn’t think about too hard.
SCROOGED (1988)
A Christmas Carol for the 1980s, extremely cynical and with more people getting hit in the face with toasters.
MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET (1947)
A holiday classic about whether a crazy guy who thinks he’s Santa is actually Santa, made a time when studios insisted Christmas movies wouldn’t sell.
AN AMERICAN TAIL (1986)
I have many questions about this animated musical and its story about oppressed Jewish immigrant mice.
THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1993)
Halloween decides to take over Christmas in what has become one of my favorites.
OUR FIRST ANNUAL HOLIDAY VIRTUAL FILM FESTIVAL STARTS TOMORROW
We’ll be featuring ten days of holiday movies starting December 16.
GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER (1967)
A lightish drama about interracial marriage that came out the same year it became legal nationwide. But is it a good movie?
WITHIN OUR GATES (1920)
The earliest extant movie from a Black director, I found myself getting into it as more than homework.
MIDNIGHT COWBOY (1969)
It earned an X-rating for its “homosexual frame of reference,” but I mostly found unrelentingly depressing.
