"Psycho" never mentions the holiday, but the establishing date is "Friday, December 11th" and street decorations are visible, with the bushes outside the Bates’ home sporting holiday lights.

"On Her Majesty’s Secret Service" takes place during the Christmas season,
Air Jordan Low Bred 11s Retro Gs, including Christmas Day,
Cheap Air Jordan Bred 11s Low, and is fully visible and mentioned,
Bred 11s Og, but not essential to the plot.

"Gremlins" is set just before Christmas,
Air Jordan 11 Bred Low Pre Order um04, touches upon a tragic Christmas memory for dark irony and character development purposes, then steps back to make room for full throttle gremlin mayhem.

Honorable Mention: "Reindeer Games", "Bad Santa"

5) Psycho

Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece opens on December 11th, ends December 20th, and is no jolly cakewalk through Christmas Land. Based on Robert Bloch’s novel based on real life serial killer and cannibal Ed Gein, this film focuses on bathroom walls decorated with blood, stuffed corpses rather than dolls and teddy bears,
Jordan 11 Low Bred Retro Og For Sale, and a pleasant but mysterious man who doesn’t bring gifts, but makes sure his victims are well fed before hacking them up with a butcher knife, then gift wrapping them in plastic shower curtains before immersing them in a lake bog,
Air Jordan Low 11 Bred Retro Gs,
Air Jordan 11 Low Bred Gs Pre Order ls06, which only rhymes with "egg nog."

Nevertheless, there are flashes of Christmas in the film. And while no one says "Merry Christmas,
Cheap Jordan Low 11 Bred Retro us60," there are jolly decorations adorning the streets of Phoenix. Even the bushes outside the Bates’ house have festive Christmas lights glowing in them. All of these moments, however, are effectively de jollified by the black and white cinematography which takes the color out of Christmas neatly while still accentuating the horror of blood flying from a wet naked woman being hacked to pieces by a maniac wielding a butcher knife.

Actually, the Christmas setting was coincidental, but necessary because filming exteriors in Phoenix meant filming the Christmas displays in store windows and along the streets. So Hitchcock, on a shoestring budget that prohibited paying store owners and the City of Phoenix a couple of grand to take the festive decorations down for a few days, wisely decided to explain all that holiday bling, and the intensely hot December temperature mentioned by John Gavin, by running the opening caption stating it was December 11 in Phoenix, around lunch hour. That way audiences wouldn’t spend the next 45 minutes speculating as to where the film was taking place until their musings were rudely interrupted by a screeching shower murder scene.

4) On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

Poor George Lazenby. Not only was he a one shot James Bond with two co stars, Diana Rigg and Telly Savalas,
Cheap Bred 11s Retro Gs uw03,
Bred 11s Low Retro Gs,
Retro Jordan 11 Bred Low Og oz00, who outshined him, but he had to get the one Bond film that required some very serious acting because of its tragic outcome. Just what a former male model needs on his first acting assignment! And the whole thing was set during Christmas! This rendered top British Secret Agent, with a license to kill, Commander James Bond into someone akin to a Wal Mart employee who draws the short straw and has to work the Christmas Day shift!

Well, at least this film is loaded with Christmas cheer as Blofeld,
A Return To 70’s Fashion,
Retro Bred Low 11s Pre Order, doubtlessly happy that he no longer looks like Donald Pleasance,
Retro Bred 11s Low For Sale, wishes the girls who will soon return to their farming district homes carrying his deadly agricultural bacillus sprays capable of wiping out all the produce,
Bred 11s Low Gs Pre Order, poultry, and meat in the free world a "Merry Christmas." James Bond wishes a Spectre guard he’d knocked out "Merry Christmas," then wonders if he should have gift wrapped him. Then all hell breaks loose on Christmas Day as Blofeld and his Spectre goons try to kill Bond in a spectacular ski chase which leads to one hapless bad guy falling into the blades of what appears to be the world’s largest snow plow,
Pre Order Low Bred 11s ew06, thereby getting ground up and sprayed all over the place like razzleberry dressing. And in full Technicolor! How jolly!

James Bond runs into Tracy (Diana Rigg),
Retro Jordan 11 Bred Low Og, and together they escape Blofeld and his minions by becoming last minute unofficial entries in a Swiss winter NASCAR rally, much to the delight of the Swiss rednecks. But Tracy is abducted eventually, and Bond, in defiance of M’s orders not to rescue her because Blofeld’s plot will likely be expedited if he does, enlists the aid of Tracy’s dad, a gangster boss for the Unione Corse, to get her back, ruin Blofeld’s New Year’s, and maybe break M’s thumbs.

3) Batman Returns

Taking place between mid December to New Year’s Eve, the second Tim Burton Batman epic is packed with his requisite dark imagery blended with brighter images normally presented as cheerful and jolly within the context of your standard Christmas movie, but of course take on sinister overtones because Burton is, let’s face it, a really sinister kinda dude. He is not quite like the miserable souls Lou Reed sings of in Berlin,
Bred Low 11s Retro Og hy46, but does make an outstanding prototype. So here comes the Penguin, right in time for the Christmas season with his insane clown posse in tow, and a plan of vengeance against the wealthy of Gotham City because he was abandoned in the sewers by his wealthy parents because he was born deformed. And maybe because he murdered their cat with his bare flippers at Christmas time. And because his dad was Pee Wee Herman! (Whole lotta factors at play here!)

There are some people you just don’t treat like a 2!

The Penguin secretly carries out a chaotic crime spree with his crazed carnival of creeps, but is halted by Batman who shows that, unlike Superman, he has no code against killing,
Cheap Retro Bred 11s, and proceeds to torch a fire breathing arsonist and blow up a morbidly obese clown. The anti Christmas imagery reaches its pinnacle when the Penguin sends Ms. Gotham plummeting to her death into the Gotham Center Christmas tree, which unleashes a horde of angry (and possibly rabid) bats into the stunned crowd, and Batman gets blamed. Of course, this being a movie called Batman Returns and not The Penguin Triumphant, our hero reverses the situation with a little high tech wizardry, and the Penguin decides to ruin New Year’s by dipping all the first born kids of Gotham’s wealthiest into raw sewage, turning them into little 2s. Batman stops that as well,
Air Jordan Low 11 Bred Gs Pre Order rl41, but since it occurs on New Years, many people would probably find snotty rich children getting immersed in raw sewage a lot less upsetting than Jennifer Lopez prancing around in a see through body stocking at the stroke of midnight. Still,
Air Jordan Low Bred 11s Gs For Sale za18,
Cheap Jordan 11 Low Bred Retro Og, Batman has his own redemption for not being as goody two shoes as Superman by adopting Cat Woman’s kitty and exchanging holiday greetings with Alfred.

2) The Lady in the Lake

Christmas became fodder for noir long before Time Burton, however, with this tepid little hard boiled Phillip Marlowe thriller directed by and starring Robert Montgomery. While not as utterly confusing as The Big Sleep (both versions), it may take some time getting used to with its extensive use of first person point of view camera technique. But that’s okay,
Bred 11s For Sale iz18, because it will allow you to experience the Christmas cheer from Marlowe’s perspective as he receives and returns seasonal greetings while tackling a murder mystery. And shares a smooch with a hot dame. And wakes up from an auto crash to find a dirty detective pouring booze on him to discredit his professionalism. And realizes that a perpetual 1st person POV film is pretty lame, no matter what time of year it’s set in.

This is probably, next to Psycho, the film that least uses Christmas as a backdrop. It’s pretty much limited to a few greetings and some decorations, and maybe a quick shot of a tree, but that’s about it. In fact,
Jordan 11 Low Bred Retro Og Pre Order, you actually see more shots of Robert Montgomery checking himself out in a mirror than anything related to Christmas, and the real message from this private eye opus is that first person narrative is terrific on the printed page,
Air Jordan 11 Bred Low Gs Pre Order xo82, but as a cinematic technique,
Air Jordan Bred 11s Retro For Sale, it’s the Grinchiest!

"Get outta the way,
Low Bred 11s Og rb61, gorgeous, you’re blocking my view of me."

Actually,
Cheap Bred Low 11s Retro,
Cheap Jordan Low 11 Bred Gs im00, this is the only film on this list that hasn’t even got a reason to be set during the Christmas season. It does not tie into the plot, it’s strictly a studio interior production so there were no street decorations to worry about, Raymond Chandler made no mention of the holiday in the novel, the season actually detracts from the mystery at hand (though not like that constant POV), and it was released in late January of 1947,
Retro Bred 11s Low Og For Sale zd37,
Pre Order Jordan Low 11 Bred, though it might have been postponed from a planned December release. So of all the non Christmas films using Christmas as a setting, this one is the un Christmasiest.

1) Gremlins

Gremlins does its damnedest to subvert all that is Christmas, and does it brazenly: a dog gets strung up in Christmas lights; a man mailing Christmas cards finds his hand trapped inside a mailbox with the suggestion that it is about to become a gremlin’s snack; Phoebe Cates’ character tells a woeful story of how a sweet effort by her father to bring Christmas cheer to her family by coming down the chimney dressed as Santa turned deadly,
Mercer’s NCAA run ends with 83, and plenty of other psyops style attacks on the holiday gleefully performed by the army of reptilian gremlins and lovingly served up by Joe Dante. In fact,
Bred 11s Retro Og pj27, the holiday images mixed with all the devastating Christmastime carnage got people talking about introducing a new movie rating, not quite R but stronger than PG,
Retro Bred Low 11s Gs For Sale, and, with the backlash about Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the PG 13 was created that year, 1984, by the MPAA. Since Steven Spielberg had his hands in both hugely successful films, it can be said that for him,
Pre Order Air Jordan Bred 11s Low Retro Gs sp01,
Jordan 11 Low Bred Retro Gs For Sale, this was the best of times and the worst of times. But mainly the best. And Gremlins did have one advantage that kept it from being forever condemned as the ultimate anti Christmas experience: The lovable and heroic Mogwai,
Retro Bred 11s Og Pre Order vf40, Gizmo!Yes indeedy, snuggly and huggy Gizmo dolls found their way under many, many Christmas trees that same year,
Pre Order Air Jordan 11 Bred Low Retro, and hopefully, nobody’s dad died trying to deliver the freakin’ things via chimney!

So why was it set during Christmas? Er, hello,
Cheap Retro Jordan 11 Low Bred Gs,
Cheap Air Jordan Bred Low 11s Retro Og sd60, that subvert the holiday subtext, with Gizmo the savior of the day thing? I suppose this makes Gremlins the closest thing to an actual Christmas movie on this list but not too close.
