I find it criminal that this list does not include Bill Murray’s 1988 classic (for me anyways) “Scrooged” A twisted, mean-spirited, very late 80's take on “A Christmas Carol”, the movie boasts a great cast, some solid laughs, good effects and a genuinely sweet romance between Murray and Karen Allen.

In a year with massive movies by huge directors, my guess is that Marty/Ridley/Nolan have the best shot at winning. But it’d be great to see 80 year old Michael Mann, Yorgos Lanthimos or Greta Gerwig run away with the category this year. 

Nolan. Or Gerwig for diversity reasons. The End.

I’m going to add Less Than Zero to the conversation. It takes place during Christmas break and that’s about it, but man! It isn’t light hearted.

The first date I went on with my now wife was going to see Bad Santa.  I took her to Olive Garden for dinner after,  it was a really classy night that led to 20 years together :)

Amen. It was the one thing that actually drew me into going to TB. I’ve definitely visited less since then.

Place the Quesarito on the app-only menu and then use the slower sales to make it seem like killing it was a good idea. Why? This was my favorite item. Pretty much the only thing I ordered regularly.

They also ignore her great work on Between Two Ferns

What a TERRIBLE list. The fact that you rated all those songs from Doggystyle out of the top 10, let alone 15 is stupid. And as Drop it maybe in his top 10, but no 1? TERRIBLE

The minute I heard the first bars of the score I said “That’s Thomas Newman.” The movie is a near perfect American tragedy.

Fucking GREAT movie (and comic). So good.

Not for much, I suppose, but one of my favorite movie assassins is Jude Law’s Maguire from Road to Perdition. He isn’t as fussy but he’s got such a perverse back story that you have to be somewhat impressed.

“haffff”

Bad Santa is maybe the only Xmas film of the last 25 years I can bring myself to care about.

No Ice harvest?  For shame.

Um where is Eyes Wide Shut? It’s the holliest jolliest Christmastime-set movie of all!

“Bad Santa” is a Christmas staple at our house. I can’t believe the late Bernie Mac didn’t get a call-out though as he’s a perfect foil to John Ritter’s character. “Half.”

Die Hard.

“Is you name ‘Thurman’?”
