Currently i'm in the midst of writing a series of reviews based around alternative Christmas movies. These are movies either based at christmas or giving a warped view of the festive season and generally providing a relief from the overly smaltzy feel good extravagansa's which tend to get churned out this time of year

Here are a few of my personal favourites

* Die Hard
* Gremlins
* Silent Night, Deadly Night
* Black Christmas
* Santa Claus Vs. The Martians
* The Nightmare Before Christmas

Just wondered if you guys and girls had any other films which fall into this catagory which would be worth looking at??

Eyes Wide Shut

Pretty much every other shot has a Christmas tree in. I love this film so much.

I watched this movie called Make the Yuletide Gay last year and I couldn't seem to turn it off, and everyonbe who walked in the room got sucked completely into it too.

It was one of those movies that is so bad you can't stop watching it.

Much better suggestion than A Christmas Story.

I would have gone with Auntie Mame though.

Agreed, but I don't see it as alternative:

these billions of aviation around the world seem pretty mainstream to me.

Delighted new season greetings should Happy New Year Wishes Messages not be restricted to individuals of same age or sex. Because periodic custom should be considered as another kind of providing out admiration and regards to those individuals around us

I watched three (3) A Christmas Carols yesterday. The 1938 one, the George C. Scott one, and the Mr. Magoo one.

It was a tumblr challenge this month, but each movie had to be watched on a separate weekend. I did it, too Smile Big
