    You know what’s almost guaranteed to be a bad movie? Any movies specifically written to be a Christmas movie.

    Seriously it’s like wading through waist high sewage till something good drifts along.

    So in likelihood of me to watch them:

    1. Muppet Christmas movies (Christmas carol and Muppet Family Christmas are lots fo fun)
    2. Tokyo Godfathers
    3. Edward scissor hands
    4. Klaus
    5. Gremlins

      You cannot comment on this without bringing up the Star Wars Christmas Special. Die hard fan since '77 and I can’t even start it.

        Yup. But like every tie in Christmas special hasn’t been much better.

        I think the only one tied to a pre-existing IP that was good was Pee-wee and that is easy cause he mocks everything the whole time.

        It’s tradition to skip Christmas specials when rewatching pretty much any IP.
