Gremlins is a great Christmas movie.

I haven't rewatched Gremlins 2 is long time but I have a feeling it's a legit terrible movie.

I remember it being amazing. And a good friend of mine is in it. I just worry that I'm wrong because it's been so long since I've seen it. You're saying it's amazing goes a long way toward making me feel better, Tommy. :heartbeat:

It's A Wonderful Life is problematic AF. I don't love that movie. But I do love Donna Reed. :heartbeat:

hard to top Charlie Brown Christmas, The Grinch (animated), and Rudolph. I'm a sucker for Rankin and Bass and Burl Ives.

It’s the best movie mentioned in this thread. Both Stewart and Reed were amazing, and Capra was pure magic.
