Film The Definitive Christmas Movie List

Bad Lieutenant - Catholic redemption by the way of gambling. Jesus would be proud.

Chicken Run - Good vulgar Marxism.

Blast of Silence - Spending Christmas morning with a hitman is perfect dad cinema.

Jingle All The Way - A materialist end of history hell world. Class conflict, alienation, the police state, the soulless patriarchal marriages all absorb and distilled by a Christmas consumer insanity. Best watched after arguing with the in-laws.

Gremlins - Anti imperialist propaganda. The American suburbs finally face justice. A film made by someone who clearly hates Christmas.

Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence - The most romantic Christmas film of all time.
