I don’t know if its my FAVORITE Christmas movie but I watched it last night and thought it was a fun movie that takes place during the Christmas season.

Tangerine (2015) Critics will say the standout feature of this film is that it was shot on an iPhone when it’s *really* how closely the hysterics of the mother-in-law when she finds out Razkik is gay mirror my own mother’s reaction when I came out.
Eyes Wide Shut (1999) Take a shot every time a youtube film analysis video makes mention of the Christmas lights.
Spencer (2021) The image of those pearls keep me up at night
Carol (2015) Throwing the gays a bone here though I’ve only seen it once–what’s the alternative?? happiest season?? k stew is already on this list…
Stepmom (1998) The Ain’t No Mountain High Enough dance scene full stop.
The Terminal (2004) On a re-watch it’s sooo random that Zoe Saldana and Stanley Tucci are in this
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) We all know at this point that the turkish delight is nasty, but did we know the book this film was based on is allegorically Christian? NASTIER
Little Women (2019) This is an obvious choice and I will say I prefer Winona’s Jo to Saorise’s–but the amount of times I’ve the Laurie’ proposal scene speaks for itself
Misery (1990) “EAT IT!!!! EAT IT UNTIL YOU CHOKE YOU SICK TWISTED FUCK!!!!!!”

When Harry Met Sally for Italians.
Showed this to one of my best friends while she was staying with me — its her first time in New York so obviously I had to show her this piece of local culture..
For the uninitiated, it’s Cher! it’s Nicholas Cage (who is inexplicably sexy in this..)! it’s 1980s Brooklyn and it’s Italian! I mean right off the bat opening track is that’s amore. The moon is hitting eyes like big pizza pies fr. exceptionally quotable, it’s silly and heartwarming, full of romantic and familial love, Nic has a fake hand and Cher has really good outfits. They have such freak romantic and sexual chemistry and its the perfect level of camp where something goofy happens and it still surprises and delights you each time.

I hate when books end. It’s so uncomfortable. I want to know how it ends but it’s always like this harsh jolt back to reality grief ?
