Yippee Kay Yay… (The only movie that doesn’t depresses me in Xmas)
Even Plex agrees:
What We Left Behind made me feel idk. I loved seeing everyone again and some of the background info, but part of me wants to forget i ever saw it.
I don’t know why, i love DS9. My next rewatch would be the 9th.
I was hyped for the documentary and couldn’t wait to get to see it.
Missed Sisko.
Edit: on topic, i think Die Hard is Santa’s favorite christmas movie - but really only the first one.
I’m kinda in the same boat. I think Ira is a really talented creator and producer but he’s got that tried to hard theatre kid vibe at times. Like, love him and don’t doubt his sincerity in the slightest but yeah, bit navel gazey.
I think Die Hard 1 & 2 both qualify for Christmas films but the first one is obviously superior for sure.
I mean if a movie like It’s A Wonderful Life can be a Christmas movie, despite most of it not having anything to do with Christmas, then so can Die Hard.
subtract chrismas from the plot: you have no chrismas party filling a finished floor of the office tower with future hostages; you have no cross-county traveling hero to save-the-day. becomes a six page script and an easy in-and-out for snape and co.
The real Xmas movie is Eyes Wide Shut
You NEED to download the 35mm scan.
Fucking distributors did Stanley dirty cleaning it up for release. It was under exposed and overdeveloped on purpose to make the film grain pop.
What’s the best way to sail the seas for this?
I just checked torrents and looks like this one isn’t a point and click adventure, sorry.
Gonna need to figure out Usenet which typically includes at least 2 paid services, a Usenet provider and an NZB indexer and then a client to download with. not really worth it for a single thing but absolutely pays for itself if you totally replace streaming services.
A provider really is location dependant but I can totally recommend nzbgeek.info as a great indexer.
I have Usenet so that is a good lead, thanks.
Here’s the only release I could find if the name helps:
Eyes.Wide.Shut.1999.UHD.35mmITScan.v2.1080p.DDP.5.1.x265-SM737
It’s a very dusty scan and the audio doesn’t work on some of my devices but the exposure does look better.
Eyes.Wide.Shut.1999.UHD.35mmITScan.v2.1080p.DDP.5.1.x265-SM737
Found it, thanks so much.
Very low GB file though. Hope it’s good.

It’s a thanksgiving movie because it’s got halloween and xmas in it.
Regression to the mean.
Every time I watch it I am surprised at how well Xmas and Halloween go together. And mostly because Xmas is sort of a spooky holiday too yet no one ever acknowledges it.

A Christmas Carol features four ghosts (six if you’re being weirdly technical about the book) and is a very traditional Christmas story people are familiar with.
OCT 31 = DEC 25.
There are 2 kinds of people, those who say die hard is a Christmas movie, and those who are wrong.
I just think it’s a nondenominational winter season celebration movie.
You do realize this makes you wrong?
No and I’m tired of people pretending it is. Now, Gremlins on the other hand.
I’d say they both have equal standing. Diehard couldn’t happen. If it wasn’t for the corporate Christmas party and Grimlin’s because of the poorly thought out, last minute Christmas gift.
Hell yeah! Of course, best Christmas movie ever. Multicasting it over the corporate network since last Monday and won’t kill the process before 2025!
now i’ve got a machine gun ho ho ho!
Correct answer. The rest die hard.
Haters will say this is fake:
This is such an exhausting topic. Anyone saying it isn’t a Christmas movie either hasn’t seen it recently enough to remember it or they’re being contraian. It takes place during Christmas, a Christmas party even. It has Christmas music woven into the soundtrack. The b plot is the main character fixing his marriage (a common theme of Christmas movies is fixing families).
To be honest, I sort of would view people arguing that it isn’t a Christmas movie like people arguing Red One isn’t a Christmas movie because it is primarily an action movie. Red One is more obvious due to the marketing and the fact it’s literally about saving Santa after he is kidnapped, but it’s still very moreso an action movie than other similar titles (The Santa Clause also has a kidnapped Santa subplot and a team of elite elves rescue him, but it is much more minor).
So is Gremlins.
Yesss, I always forget that one! Have you seen Gremlins 2?
To me, Die Hard is a Christmas movie because it is set on Christmas Eve. I don’t think it technically counts as a Christmas movie, but that just makes me consider it a Christmas movie even harder
Christmas Movie 2: Xmas Harder

I think its important to establish why it’s a Christmas movie. I consider it one not just because it’s Christmas time in the movie but because it’s heavily Christmas themed the entire movie. For this exact same reason I think other movies also fall into this category like gremlins and terrifier 3.
