anything too obvious isn’t fun.

I find that even the most discerning of tastes goes for the predictable, mainstream Christmas movies, which, is what they’re for.

But what if you want something more and less?

Here are My Top 11, Mostly non-Christmas, But-some-Christmas, Christmas Movies: (in no particular order)

• Eyes Wide Shut

• The Long Kiss Goodnight

• Dracula (Coppola’s)

• Edward Scissorhands

• The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

• Metropolitan

• Trading Places

• The Godfather Part I

• Once Upon a Time in America

• Philadelphia

• Amadeus

A explanation would be less fun, plus it’s something to save for Christmas ‘25, or at least Christmas in July. Ditto on the 11.
