So here for you is my top 10 Christmas adjacent movies.

Christmas Adjacent

Wait a minute....I hear you cry....what are christmas adjacent movies?

Good question. Christmas adjacent movies are films that have a link to the holiday season but the fact its Xmas has no real impact on the plot.

10. Gremlins. Joe Dante directed this family friendly mini monster movie. Its set at Xmas but its not essential to the plot. Cool and funny.

9. Full Metal Jacket. Grim and hard going but the scene where the drill sergent makes them sing Happy Birthday to Jesus is awesome.

8. Toy Story. YOU ARE A TOY!!!

7. Batman Returns. Penguin, Catwoman, Christopher Walken and the Caped Crusader. Jingle Bells.

6. Trading Places. When Ackroyd still had hair and Murphy was funny.

5. Its a Wonderful life. Amazing feel good movie at any time of the year.

4. The Nightmare before Christmas

Tim Burton again. Mr Christmas Adjacent maybe?

3. Lethal Weapon. Jingle Bell Rock

2. Monty Python's Life of Brian. He's not the Messiah...he's a very naughty boy!

1. Die Hard. Yippee ki yay. Could it be anything else?
