Are you as bored with Christmas movies as I am? Stop forcing yourself to stomach another viewing of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” James Stewart makes me wanna stick my head in the oven with the gingerbread cookies. SO listen up! Here is a list of movies that aren’t Christmas films but still FEEL like Christmas films:
Batman Returns
This one is the Tim Burton film from1992 featuring Michael Keaton. It’s my favorite Batman movie and it just happens to take place during the Christmas season. Enjoy Michelle Pfeiffer in a cat suit as an added bonus… isn’t she one of the 12 Days of Christmas???
Bridget Jones’s Diary
This film is full off quirky British humor and much of it takes place during the holidays. Look for the ugly Christmas sweaters… especially take note of how hot Colin Firth looks in them.
Edward Scissorhands
Another Tim Burton film featuring Johnny Depp, of course. The ending takes place during Christmas. It has a very fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast kind of feel. Perfect for the holidays.
Beauty and the Beast and BATB: The Enchanted Christmas
The first is a childhood classic, made during the heyday of Disney animation. It is the only animated film to ever be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. Many of the scenes take place during winter, with beautiful snowscapes and a Christmasy feel. The Enchanted Christmas, is a sequel that has a storyline centered on Christmas. It’s not as good as the original, but it amplifies the holiday feel of Beauty and the Beast.
Tune in tomorrow for Part 2…
