    I saw some clickbait article the other day “movies you didn’t realize were Christmas movies” and it was full of obvious Christmas movies. #1 was Its a Wonderful Life………

    Okay but why aren’t some of these Christmas season movies? I think narnia really isn’t that big of a stretch

    It really depends on whether you can stomach watching Kevin Spacey or not, but The Ref is one of the greatest Christmas movies imo

    Die hard should have been on one and not lethal weapon. Other than that I think those are excellent choices.

    🤷‍♀️ I don’t enjoy traditional Christmas movies that much and I think it’s fun to do something different.

    There are 8 billion of us, it’s pretty tough to say something original all the time.

    “get a personality” and “that’s your whole personality” is just lazy writing. it’s a generic insult deployed against anyone who likes a thing that says nothing about the person or the thing. it’s the satire equivalent to “vegan bad”. why should I read an article written by someone who makes parroting bland criticisms from the internet their whole personality?

    “No, the only Christmas movies are movies I SAY are Christmas movies!” ~ Dan Rice / Chat GPT

    Imagine caring what other people consider a holiday movie? Dan sounds like a miserable person who will go through your movie collection and call them all horse shit and demand you and your group watch a 4 hour movie about a woman brushing a horse and proclaiming It to be true art.

    I stopped reading at his banal prologue. Don’t invite Dan over for movie night, for he is armed with a Chat Bot and a thesaurus.

    There really is only a small handful of pre-approved opinions on the internet that you’re allowed to have. Some people need to virtue signal so damn hard every year that they’re a REAL die hard fan, and it’s like, okay bud, it’s a mega blockbuster hit that hundreds of millions of people have watched for 35 years. Chill.
