Movies during Christmas, that aren't Christmas movies

[dlemond]

Name movies that have Christmas time as the backdrop but are not about Christmas, not "Christmas movies."

Two come to mind right away:

Die Hard
Lethal Weapon

[Janice]

I'll come up with more but off the top of my head there's..

Family Man, with Nicolas Cage
Falling in Love, with Robert DeNiro and Meryl Streep (1984)

I love movies set at Christmas time. I always have. It's 1am and my brain's mush now, but I'll come up with more.
Great topic dlemond! :cool:

There was Home Alone.

OK, here are some:

Trading Places
Gremlins
Die Hard 2
Batman Returns
The Ref
Night of the Comet
Reindeer Games

and,
I'm pretty sure all three of these Terry Gilliam movies take place at Christmas time:

12 Monkeys
The Fisher King
Brazil

The only one I can think of right now is Lucky Numbers

"The Time Machine" was supposed to come out in December last year but the 9-11 attacks forced the producers and the studios to postpone the movie until March due to a difference of opinion over a scene involving a meteor shower taking out New York. They were afraid that it would bring back bad memories of the terrorist attacks. It was released in March earlier this year.
