Alternative Xmas movies

Christmas is upon us and soon we will start watching the same old classic holiday films.
But what about the other, more... alternative holiday films?

Here's some of my favorites, non holiday - holiday films!


Gremlins (1984)
You know the drill: don't feed them after midnight... 

Edward Scissorhands (1990)

The romantic Tim Burton tale is a holiday must! 

American Psycho (2000)
Before the wider audience knew Christian Bale from his role as Batman, before Dexter came to our lives, there was another beloved serial killer named Patrick Bateman... 
American Psycho is an alternative anti-hero movie, with a bit of holiday spirit in it! 

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Another Tim Burton film (as a writer this time), this is an anti-Christmas movie, a personal holiday favorite! 

Die Hard (1988)
A cult holiday classic! The tank top, the ridiculous lines, Alan Rickman as the world's greatest villain. I rest my case.

Batman returns (1992)
Again a Tim Burton film. The second film from the Batman series, gives us a not so jolly image of the holiday season...

Scrooged (1988)
A cheesy twist of the classic Charles Dickens tale, this 80s classic is a perfect choice if you want to stay in the holiday spirit! 

Blackadder's Christmas Carol (1988)

Last but not least is TV movie - the 1988 Christmas special by Blackadder. A twisted, cunning version of the Dickens tale....

Merry Christmas fellow film nerds!!
