- DirectorNicholas WebsterStarsJohn CallLeonard HicksVincent BeckThe Martians kidnap Santa Claus because there is nobody on Mars to give their children presents.This isn't wasn't you think it is...it was a fun movie with a good heart.
- DirectorBob ClarkStarsPeter BillingsleyMelinda DillonDarren McGavinIn the 1940s, a young boy named Ralphie Parker attempts to convince his parents, teacher, and Santa Claus that a Red Ryder Range 200 Shot BB gun really is the perfect Christmas gift.Classic 80s movie that is retro 40s!
- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsBruce WillisAlan RickmanBonnie BedeliaA New York City police officer tries to save his estranged wife and several others taken hostage by terrorists during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles.The beginning had RUN DMC's "Christmas in Hollis" in the background. It doesn't get more Christmas than that!
- DirectorJohn FrankenheimerStarsBen AffleckGary SiniseCharlize TheronAfter assuming his dead cell-mate's identity to get with the other man's girlfriend, an ex-convict finds himself a reluctant participant in a casino heist.Really crazy, violent and offbeat. Plus I saw it in March. It has to hurt when a Christmas movie misses a Christmas release!
- DirectorJoe DanteStarsZach GalliganPhoebe CatesHoyt AxtonA young man inadvertently breaks three important rules concerning his new pet and unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous monsters on a small town.
- DirectorMalcolm D. LeeStarsMonica CalhounMorris ChestnutMelissa De SousaWhen college friends reunite after 15 years over the Christmas holidays, they discover just how easy it is for long-forgotten rivalries and romances to be reignited.A really good movie for aging HBCUers. If you know what that means, this is for you.
- DirectorPreston A. Whitmore IIStarsRegina KingColumbus ShortDelroy LindoA Christmastime drama centered around the Whitfield family's first holiday together in four years.
- DirectorFrank CapraStarsJames StewartDonna ReedLionel BarrymoreAn angel is sent from Heaven to help a desperately frustrated businessman by showing him what life would have been like if he had never existed.The classic Christmas flick, despite its overtly political message.
- DirectorBrett RatnerStarsNicolas CageTéa LeoniDon CheadleA fast-lane investment broker, offered the opportunity to see how the other half lives, wakes up to find that his sports car and girlfriend have become a mini-van and wife.A variation of "It's A Wonderful Life" that wasn't too bad.
- DirectorCharles E. Sellier Jr.StarsLilyan ChauvinGilmer McCormickToni NeroLittle Billy witnesses his parents getting killed by Santa after being warned by his senile grandpa that Santa punishes those who are naughty. Now Billy is 18 and out of the orphanage, and he has just become Santa himself.
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsEddie MurphyDan AykroydRalph BellamyA snobbish investor and a wily street con artist find their positions reversed as part of a bet by two callous millionaires.
- DirectorPenny MarshallStarsDenzel WashingtonWhitney HoustonCourtney B. VanceAn angel comes to Earth to help a preacher save his church and his family.
- DirectorPeter BaldwinStarsFlorence HendersonRobert ReedAnn B. DavisThe entire Brady family manages to overcome personal obstacles to spend a happy holiday together.
- DirectorStan LathanStarsRae Dawn ChongGuy DavisJon ChardietAn aspiring DJ from the South Bronx and his best friend, a promoter, try to get into show business by exposing people to hip-hop music and the local culture.Another Christmas movie, but the emphasis on the growing hip hop movement overshadowed that. However, it doesn't get any better than the Treacherous 3's "Christmas Rap". Classic! This was given a summertime release, and that time was right, despite the season it portrayed.
- DirectorMarcus RaboyStarsIce CubeMike EppsJohn WitherspoonWorking as security guards, Craig and Day-Day run into the thief who stole their Christmas presents.
