I've been saying for years that Lethal Weapon is a Christmas movie. People tend to overlook it & it absolutely is a Christmas movie.

It takes place at Xmas, with Xmas music & Xmas decorations. Martin Riggs suffering a lose & giving up on everything until Roger Murtaugh & family show him love.

Ending with Riggs giving Murtaugh a present (his suicide bullet) as he no longer needs it, he finds his soul & a new family.

Last year's "Violent Night" is also an excellent alternative to the sickly sweetness. It has replaced "The Ref" as my favourite #xmas #movie.

An interesting blend of #comedy, #action, #thriller, and #fantasy.

Wish me luck. God help me, I’m going to watch #Spirited on TV+. I usually abhor xmas movies (not judging; you do you), but—and this is a personality flaw that I am simultaneously ashamed of and won't apologize for—I cannot resist #RyanReynolds.

To be honest, I am dreading the inevitable day when he will be revealed to be a [insert no doubt legitimate reason for cancellation]. But until then, RR is my catnip.

I decided it's okay to add this to the the Xmas Movie list, thanks to the final scene. The opening scene still cracks me up every time.

Well, I'm now working for private equity instead of a private owner so I guess I'm now on Team Potter.

Chuffed that our studies of #XmasMovie|s arrived in time for upcoming Glühwein-Xmas movie nights 🤶
The book is stuffed with insightful chapters on #BridgetJones by @annieteaperky , Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel by @RelevanteLiteraturwissenschaft and many more. I wrote about how It's a Wonderful Life and #Gremlins construct and deconstruct Xmas #sentimentality.
Gremlins might be my favourite Xmas film - what's yours?
