HAVE YOURSELF A MEATY LITTLE CHRISTMAS!
(FYI - I didn't consider the following films to be Christmasy enough:
EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, À L'INTÉRIEUR, MOUSE HUNT,
IN BRUGES, SILENT NIGHT (2023), CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER, BELL BOOK & CANDLE, MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS, ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS, MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE, 3 GODFATHERS (1948), AMERICAN PSYCHO, BLAST OF SILENCE, WAKE IN FRIGHT, SCANDAL (1950), WIND CHILL, DEAD END, MOTHMAN PROPHECIES, THE FRENCH CONNECTION, L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, 2046, CRONOS, RABID, THE DEAD (1987), CORSAGE, some of the HARRY POTTER films, BRAZIL, WOLF OF SNOW HOLLOW, NIGHT OF THE COMET, FUNNY PAGES, TANGERINE, HARD TARGET.. pronounced & recognizable Joyeux Noël vibes needed to be present in whatever film's setting for at least 40% of their runtime to qualify for me personally. Had my criteria been different, all the aforementioned titles definitely would've placed here.. So don't gimme any shit)
