    Muppet Christmas Carol.

    A reminder that the true meaning of Christmas is scaring rich people into being more generous. Also Kermit

      Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Family Christmas are the only things I’ll still require my kids to watch with us every year. They’re just the best.

          Emmett Otter is an absolute masterpiece and a treasure I’ve watched since the 80s. I’ve never met anyone who knows what it is, though. Have you ever paid attention to the lyrics in the opening song? ROFL

      I am thrilled that Disney+ (last I checked) removed that The Love is Gone song that I’ve been programmed to fast-forward through since I was a small child in the VHS days.

    The empire strikes back. My brother and I would watch it and afterwards go play in the snow pretending to be on Hoth.

        I think they really lost their way around #7, from that point on the series mostly kind of stagnated and they seemed to have forgotten what made it so great to start with. That’s why #14 was so earth-shattering, it just reinvented the series and made us redefine what a bubble butt could really do. The first 6 are still good though.

      Just watched Violent Night on the weekend. Awesome! But I’m also yet to watch Silent Night, with Joel Kinnamen.

    Well, since you say Christmas or not, my favorite show any time is Babylon 5.

    But for Christmas stuff, Hogfather is my favorite tradition. Also Die Hard, and the Christmas episode of Justice League.

    I tend to watch the whole Marvel lineup to this day starting early December and my wife and I watch the whole shebang of Harry Potter on Christmas eve and day.

    March/April I tend to rewatch Boston Legal and the cliffnotes of Dragon Ball OG to Super. Rest of the shows I rewatch aren’t as tied to time of year.

      They are good “holiday” movies. They’re just good movies.

    So uh… how familiar are you with the Doctor Who radio plays that started when the show was off the air in the 90s? 🟣🍮

    My favorite movie to watch at this time of year, or any time of the year for that matter, has to be the multiple Golden Globe nominated sensation of 2023, Barbie, which, coincidentally, is also available on Blu-Ray and select streaming services.

    You should watch it too.

    A Christmas Horror Story (2015) has been one of my favorites (since it came out, obviously) but my family doesn’t usually let me pick the movies to watch because - and this is true - I like bad movies.

    …Not like I only like bad movies, or all the movies that I like are bad… But I have a track record of liking movies that the rest of the fam thinks are bad.

      You should hang out with my wife. Though having “bad tastes” does lend itself to some awesomely bad movies. My wife has found some gems that are so bad they are good.

    I rewatch the Blade Runner movies every year on Boxing Day. Sometimes I do different cuts, but mostly final cut. Then BR2049 turned out good enough to add to the tradition, so I watch that next.
