Come one, come all. Come see the holiday treats I have collected. With Christmas just around the bend, the timing could not be better than now to deliver a collection of film trailers for movies that have the holiday at their core. The majority of these films are well worth your time; hopefully they will help you get into the mood for some cheer, or laughs, or maybe a little horror!
The Nightmare Before Christmas - Trailer
Christmas is approaching, and what better way to get ready than to look forward to it while looking back to Halloween? It seems as if it were only yesterday that the kids were putting on scary costumes and Christmas was not even on the edge of their minds. Here is a trailer for a great film that bridges the gap between the two holidays, and if you watch the film you will even get a reference to Thanksgiving.
Gremlins - Trailer
What would Christmas be without a little mischief? This is not what you would call a traditional holiday film, but it does feature the holiday and the central characters are the result of a desire to give a unique gift that no one would expect. This Joe Dante film is a blast that I really need to go back and revisit. Just remember the rules.
Jack Frost - Trailer
Let's continue to ease into the holiday season with a trailer that is only peripherally related to Christmas, but is close enough. Before Michael Keaton went snowboarding as a snowman in an effort to win over his family, there was another Jack Frost, a serial killer who escapes custody but gets doused with an experimental concoction that combines him with snow on the side of the road. A killer snowman is born and with it a seriously corny and completely entertaining horror movie.
It's a Wonderful Life - Trailer
Christmas time is all about tradition, the gift giving, the family, the carols, the movies, and more. One of the greatest of holiday cinematic traditions is the Frank Capra classic It's a Wonderful Life. Believe it or not I only saw this for the first time last year. Can you believe it? It is a wonderful movie that tugs at the heartstrings and helps instill hope in humanity. If you haven't seen it, do so, and if you have, see it again this holiday season.
