You know you may not be able to tell from the name but “Life is Wonderful” and “It’s a Wonderful Life” are two very, very different movies. If you mix the two up come xmas(screw you miss Bucket) season you are in for a definite change of atmosphere. ---

A few years ago a group of my friends and I decided to ring in the New Year with \*\*\*Resevoir Dogs \* \*\* and _ **Deliverance** _. I suspect that they’d go just as well with XMas. Happy Viewing. ---

_The Ref_ is actually Christmas-themed, but even my holiday-loathing husband loved it. Denis Leary should be in all Christmas movies for people who hate the holidays. It’s really funny. Failing that, anything by Ingmar Bergman ought to do. ---

> [@adam yax](#): > > Of course, there is an exception for the Silence of the Lambs Christmas Special. ;j “Miggs, that damned well better be egg nog!” Still, it’s hard not to get choked up when the Ghost of Christmas Past takes Hannibal back through his Lithuanian childhood and Misha sings “all I want for Christmas is my two milk teeth”. And the scene where the Ghost of Christmas Present is filleted is a classic, easily as good as Carrie Fisher’s LIFEDAY song. ---

Lets not forget events happening the week before Christmas 1945: Syndicate bigshot ambushed & nearly gunned down buying fruit for the holiday, his _consiglieri_ kidnapped while purchasing Christmas gifts, and mobster’s youngest son murdering a New York City police captain touching off Five Families war of 1946 in the holiday classic **The Godfather**. ---
