Silent Night, Deadly Night is actually a pretty good slasher. And while I wouldn't call LW shitty, I've been there, done that enough that I'd rather watch something else.

Byrd N. Hand

I'll take a good movie with vague Christmas connections over a shitty one with more direct Christmas connections any day.

Richard Maurer

There's something I never get tired of seeing, someone asking a reactor to watch all the movies in a poll, something that I have yet to see actually happen, but keep trying, you little optimists.

Richard Maurer

There are two types of "Christmas" movie The ones where Xmas is a main part of the plot and the ones like LW that just happen to occur at Xmas. imo - the ones that happen to occur at Xmas aren't really Christmas movies but if you want them to be, go for it. That being said I stand by my op because in SN,DN Xmas is integral to the plot, LW, not at all integral to the plot.

Byrd N. Hand

If it takes place around the holidays, it's on the table, as far as I'm concerned. Besides, along with "Gremlins" and "Scrooged," it's the best title on here.

Richard Maurer

Lethal Weapon as a Christmas movie huh? Silent Night, Deadly Night is literally more of a Christmas movie than LW.

Byrd N. Hand

Only 1 adaptation of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" per poll, perhaps? This one's got "Scrooged."

lots of good ones on here but i want to give a special shout out to Long Kiss Goodnight

Bryan Fritchie

It wasn't letting me vote for multiple earlier. Maybe the poll was updated. :)

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang all the way way! A perfect movie with one of the best screenplays this century.

PHILLIP CORNISH

#loveactuallyforaddie. Oh crap not in the list. OK you twisted my arm up my back, Gremlins it is then. 😘

Laxjedi

I’m waiting to see what the strategic voting, which almost always seems to be done in an attempt to bring about a tie, brings us this time around… 😜 looks like Gremlins and Lethal Weapon so far (I voted for Gremlins and Scrooged).

Mr. Writhms

Bah humbug...

Alex Ch

I swear guys, Long Kiss Goodnight is great fun… (yes, the rest are good too)

BNJ

aww no Muppets Christmas Carol? ☹️

BNJ

it's a cute movie, cute movies are pretty cringe

aarswft

Cringe and Christmas movie kind of go hand in hand though.

Alex Tan

Let's see what happens tomorrow. Fingers crossed that she watches Oppenheimer (2023). 🤞🤞

Byrd N. Hand

I was holding out hope that we'd get either "Oppenheimer" or "Godfather II" from her yesterday, but instead she gave us "Dial of Destiny." 🤦‍♂️ I'm guessing she'll give us "National Treasure" tomorrow and the winner of this poll on Friday. I can only surmise that the runtimes of those movies have at least partially made her hesitant to do them right now ("Godfather II" is nearly 3½ hours long, "Oppenheimer" is 3 hours, and "Godfather III" is roughly 2 3/4 hours). 🤔

Alex Vazquez

Bad Santa!

Byrd N. Hand

Well, it definitely has some dark moments. Meanwhile, "Gremlins 2" is a total Looney Tunes-style sendup of it.

Byrd N. Hand

It baffles me that "Jingle All the Way" has endured all this time. 🤔 I'll admit it's a bit after my time (I was in my first year of college when it came out), but I remember several scenes being pretty cringe-inducing, particularly when seen through adult eyes. The one positive thing I can say about it is that it was filmed in the Twin Cities, i.e. where I live.

LightsCameraJake

Have not seen the Grenlins for over a decade. I rememebr it being just cheesy but cute and funny and full of rascals or something. xD

Alex Tan

P.P.S. Please convince her to also watch Oppenheimer (2023), since it came in second on her Christopher Nolan poll, two weeks ago. #OppenheimerForAddieCounts Sincerely, Alex Tan

Mr. Writhms

Dear Santa Claus: Please convince Addie to react to ALL of the movies in her latest Christmas poll. She has more than enough posting days left in December to make us all happy, wrapped with a big bow. 🎀 Sincerely, Mr. Writhms P.S. If she refuses, please leave a “Raiders of the Lost Ark” boulder-sized lump coal in her stocking this year. 😁🎄🎁

If you monsters don't vote for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang you're all not invited to my birthday party.

The Dingo

You can vote for multiple :)

Byrd N. Hand

As long as she also reacts to the sequels for both movies after the holidays. They'll be the gifts that keep on giving. 😉

Myoclonic Jerk

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is an excellent example of good screenwriting.

Alex Tan

Happy Tuesday, Addie. All are great choices but my votes go for Gremlins (1984) & Lethal Weapon (1987). I also vote for The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996), Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) & Violent Night (2022).

Joe Mallard

Violent Night is awesome!

Jayson Phillips

Ohhhh Sh** I forgot all about Long Kiss Goodnight!!!! Great movie!!

QuigonJim25

I guess because its a Christmas film, its doing so well.. but 'Jingle All The Way' is not a good film lol. A loved it when I was younger but it didn't hold up well for me. Maybe Addie will like it.. but it's not for me. I'm voting 'Gremlins' and 'Lethal Weapon'.

Bryan Fritchie

I feel like it has to be Gremlins or Lethal Weapon. I wish I could vote for both.

Randee Carreno

Happy Tuesday, Addie! 😊 All great holiday movie choices for this first holiday poll. I ended up going with "Scrooged" for this one. Aside from the three(I do count "Ghostbusters: Afterlife")Ghostbusters movies, "Scrooged" is my favorite Bill Murray movie. "Gremlins" is my second choice. Have a great day today. 😊
