My fault for watching ELF, but rather than the usual what is your favourite Christmas. What is your favourite NOT Christmas film?

For me:

Great Escape: The classic to watch after Christmas Lunch.
Where Eagles Dare: Boxing Day evening from my childhood
Groundhog Day: So many people think it is Christmas not f’ing February.
Temple of Doom: Family reasons, was on when I was a kid, the first Christmas after my mother died. First time I saw my father laugh after her death.

Does anyone have other NOT Christmas films?

BTW: Die Hard / Die Hard 2 ARE Christmas films.

I thought Elf was a Hanukkah movie. Happy Hanukkah everyone.

In what way, usual US commercialism of Christmas.

Basically every religion is referenced. As you say, typical commercialisation of Christmas.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is often on at Christmas and is a classic

Technically I believe its a Thanksgiving movie so I figured I'd mention it!

The Longest Day, mainly because that's what Christmas Day feels like! But it is a great movie looking at D Day from all PsOV.

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Watch out for that first step! It's a doozy!

John Wayne fractures his ankle, tells the medic to “strap that boot on tight” and carries on winning the war.
