baumer Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 I found Krampus to be just a funny movie. Nothing too memorable nothing offensive nothing really scary nothing really great about it but definitely enjoyable and something I would certainly watch again if it came on TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomCat Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I enjoyed Krampus, though the ending was very odd and not sure it felt right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Alright well I guess I will have time to do at least the first 3 films. Im off to see a movie this afternoon at around 1:30 p.m. which is around three hours from now. So I'm just finishing walking my dog and I will head home and get started on at least the first 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomCat Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Trading Places did take place around Christmas, didn't it. Hm... I know movies like Die Hard take place at Christmas, but I never put them as Christmas Movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but I'd describe them as movies that take place at Christmas, rather than a Christmas Movie, which would be something, for me, that embodies the feeling, message, hopes, of Christmas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know most are out of you wheelhouse (pre 1970) but Baumer as a lover of Christmas you should get around to most of them, I don't think you'd be disappointed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 I can't confirm this but there's a very strong possibility that Lethal Weapon will be making my list as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Tele's favorite Christmas movie is The Night Before. How can you not love Seth Rogen accidentally taking Mindy Kaling's phone and finding it out when he gets a bunch of sexts and dick pics from James Franco? Or a random Miley Cyrus cameo? Or Michael Shannon at his most Michael Shannon? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Remember the Night and The Dead in particular so much. I made the latter the last film I watched last year and I'm thinking of making it a tradition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
