It's never painfully schmaltzy, but I wouldn't necessarily seek it out. It's a really good Christmas movie, I'd say

Yeah I kinda feel like the trailer was enough for me. Didn't feel like I needed to see the movie after watching it.

The Marvels bit is a joke, but, yeah, I didn't find much to gush over in Holdovers. It's a really good Christmas movie, and that's an important niche

The best Christmas movie. We watch it every Christmas Eve, around noon.

I love Die Hard. Didn't use to think of it as a Christmas movie, but it does sort of work that way if you want it to.

I've changed my stance on Die Hard. It is a movie set at Christmas, not a Christmas movie.

Thanks Trag. Missing sounds great - I love Sissy Spacek and Jack Lemon - but it's not available online.

I'm in the mood for some Robert Redford, so maybe I'll finally watch Condor.

The rest are getting added to my list.
