I'm more of a Lord of the Rings guy.

*for Christmas

Makes sense. They each came out a week or two before Christmas. I remember finishing my college finals each year and then going to see them with my friends before going home.

Plus they have elves.

For years I would start reading the Hobbit all the way through Return of the King around Christmas, every year

I never thought of that! I am going to use this argument with the family this year...

I'm very close to finishing my current TNG rewatch and am looking forward to throwing on Generations to commemorate the season.

I put this on one year and the family was watching. My mother declared it was too scary and guilted everyone into turning it off and playing board games with her instead. So now we don't get to watch it on Christmas. I was 32 when that happened.

Also Rambo First Blood.

Also Gremlins.

[–] SantasMagicalComfort@piefed.world 3 points 4 months ago

Gremlins is the best especially the story about her father.

[–] 1SimpleTailor@startrek.website 2 points 4 months ago

As someone who's become more and more of a Scrooge over the years, Gremlins is my partner and I's go to "Not Christmas" Movie

Similar in vibes, though more "Christmasy" Krampus (2015) has become another of my holiday staples.
