Little known Christmas movies

I’m surprised at how many of my friends don’t know this Christmas classic.

One of John Cusack’s earliest movies, if not his very first - Better Off Dead - takes place around Christmas. Night of the Comet is also set around Christmas. I think the voiceover in the intro said something like . . .wait, why am I guessing when Google is handy? Hang on. . .

“Since before recorded time, it had swung through the universe in an elliptical orbit so large that its very existence remained a secret of time and space. But now, in the last few years of the twentieth-century, the visitor was returning. The citizens of Earth would get an extra Christmas present this year, as their planet orbited through the tail of the comet. Scientists predicted a light show of stellar proportions. Something not seen on Earth for 65 million years. Indeed, not since the time that the dinosaurs disappeared, virtually overnight.”

They were both Christmas traditions for me for years. Get Crazy takes place on New Years Eve. I had a VHS tape with all three movies on it, and it got a lot of play at the end of every year.
