I couldn’t care less if this should be considered a Christmas movie or not — I watched it because it came out in 1988 — but I found the timing nice since the setting does make it a good movie to watch close to the holidays (along with Scrooged, which I watched the following night). I’ve watched this movie countless times, so I didn’t get the same kind of nostalgia that I do with a lot of the 80s movies I re-watch as part of these marathons. I will say that the best memory I have of this movie is seeing it at the theater in 70mm.
