What's your favorite holiday movie?
DIE HARD!!!
No other holiday in the world can both bring people together whilst at the same time tear them apart like Christmas can. Each and every year thousands upon thousands of families find themselves in the predicament that is the Christmas Lunch / Dinner and more often then not, the meal which brings them all together resorts into just one massive argument.
This is how it usually plays out. The mother is consistently on the edge all day trying to play the duel role of hostess and chef and even the slightest hint of criticism will lead to her biting the head of anyone, including her young. The father is busy trying to fend off insults flying at him from his slightly intoxicated mother-in-law who still thinks, after 12 years of marriage, that he's not good enough for her daughter. At least one of the uncle is usually passed out on the couch from too much alcohol. The kids and cousins are constantly fighting with each other, whining, crying, complaining and asking 'When's the food ready?' And all that's before the meal! When the meal is served, that's when all hell breaks loose! There's food flying across the table, drinks are being spilled, there's arguments over the last piece of an item of food, one of the candles gets knocked over staring a small fire, the kids are still complaining despite the food being served, and at least one person whines that at least one food item for being 'slightly over cooked'.
Yet, it just wouldn't be Christmas without those sort of incidents, which ironically is what brings us all together. Christmas is indeed a paradox.
1. The quote 'This Holiday Season'
Not really a movie cliche, more a movie trailer cliche. Every christmas based film's trailer always has that voice-over guy saying that stupid line 'this holiday season...' followed by something like '....join the adventure of a lifetime'. For crying out load, come up with something different!
2. The 'Scrooge' Plot
Yes, yes, yes, we get it already! Dude who hates Christmas, visited my three ghost who show him the true meaning of Christmas, blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada.......god kill us, everyone!
3. Airport and the Blizzard
When ever anyone is trying to get home in a hurry for some reason, the airport always seems to just get hit by snowstorm ensuring all flights are cancelled forcing said person to find alternate and usually wacky ways to try and get home. Hijinx a plenty!
4. Santa and Grown ups
How many times do we have to see Santa Claus trying to convince some 35 year old million-dollar business dude that he is indeed the 'Real Santa' and saying crap like 'You may have stopped believing in me, but I never stopped believing in you'
5. Perfect Trees
I don't know about anyone else, but I've never ever seen in my life someone's Christmas Tree that is as tall, lush, green and with orniments so carefully placed and tinsel arranged so perfectly than what is portrayed on film.
