(¡)Holiday Movies 2022 (!) (nsfw)
Anyone watched Spirited? Violent Night? Falling for Christmas? Ticket to Paradise?
Of those listed I have watched Spirited twice. It's good. Over-the-top and campy -not always in a good way- but still a fun watch. Ryan Reynolds and Will Farrell have decent chemistry in a way that is completely predictable. Most of the movie is pretty predictable but that's okay. It's a retelling of the Dickens Christmas Story so whatcha gonna do?
Octavia Spencer has good facial expressions for her role but otherwise I think she was miscast.
It niggled me that in scenes with Christmas Past revisionist history is a primary theme. If you're an idiot you won't notice and if you're an activist you'll cheer. I was also bothered by Jacob Marley being made a silly goof when he should be tragic and imposing.
It's a musical from the same people who made The Greatest Showman which might be too much culture for some of you but give it a shot. There's a good chance you'll enjoy yourself.
I give it 4 out of 5 stars and so did most reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes.
edit - btw, all references to Nazis, pedos, fragile masculinity, white supremacy, and traytorrrzzzz will be summarily ignored. This is a movie thread. Fuck allllllll the way off with your activism, shitheads.

No."A Christmas Story" is more to my speed. You'll shoot your eye out kid. Fools still try to make reboots, but the Jean Shepherd tale can't be topped. Use to listen to Shep's ramblings on the radio, Great stuff some of which is still around on You-Tube.

Re: Holiday Movies 2022
A very underrated Christmas movie is Ernest Saves Christmas. Hilarious most of the way and Jim Varney (RIP) is nails throughout.
Noelle Parker (Harmony Starr/Pamela Trenton) is definitely easy on the eyes.
Rules:
But of course the best one is Christmas Vacation.

Die Hard ? Nothing say Christmas more that Bruce Willis shooting up a group of Kraut terrorists.

Die Hard is a must. For years I've intended to make a John Mclane in the ductwork Christmas ornament.

The tantrum is also normal. We suspect he was dropped on his head. Every day. Since birth.
dtown's suggestion is solid. It's been a long time since I've watched Ernest Saves Christmas but I still remember it. That lady reminds me of Valerie Bertinelli. Kind of cute/hot.

Then I suggest you skip Schindler’s List and Inglorious Basterds.
