Movies during Christmas, that aren't Christmas movies - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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

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!

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.
