An article on MSN caught my eye recently. The theme was alternatives to sappy Christmas movies. I've never been a fan of It's a Wonderful Life, so I browsed the list.
Some of the choices were predictable, such as Elf and Bad Santa. I've seen neither, so this didn't interest me much. At least two other choices did.
Gremlins and Die Hard were on the list. The former is cutesy while mocking our love of cutesy things, while the latter is like George Baily with a gun. Ho. Ho. Ho.
The point is, I mentioned these two as my favorite Christmas movies every season since high school. And now they're alternative.
Well, I can say I liked them before they were alternative.
