Unusual Christmas Specials And Movies!!

[DalekNfra]

"It's A Wonderful Life"?Over-rated!"A Charlie Brown Christmas"?Good Grief!How many times have we seen these same old Christmas specials?Isn't there something else I can enjoy that has the same spirit of the Holidays,but in a different manner?Well,yes Virginia,there is!Check out a few of these odd yet fun Christmas classics:

1.A Blackadder Christmas-Hilarious spoof of A Christmas Carol,with a twist: Ebenezer Blackadder is the kindest person in the world,until a visit from the Spirit of Christmas shows him how rotten,and successful,his ancestors were!

2.Santa Claus Conquers The Martians-The title says it all!

3.Santa Claus-Weird Mexican film in which Santa lives on the moon and battles the Devil!Demented to say the least!

Any other odd Christmas specials you wish to share?

See, now I love me some Christmas classics (wouldn't be Christmas without 'em in my house) but one of my faves was always this rarely played special:

Although since mom died last year, I can't bring myself to watch it 🙁

Steven Colbert did a Christmas special last year that I liked so much, I still have it on my TiVo. Surprisingly good singing voice and wickedly funny.

And I make it a point to never miss at least one showing of "Ebbie". It runs on Lifetime channel and features Susan Lucci in a female version of Ebeneezer Scrooge. I'm not a big fan of hers but the storyline as they've done it here always touches my heart.

It's all about the animation this time of year.

...and we can't forget Bad Santa. "Fuck me, Santa! Fuck me, Santa! Fuck me, Santa!"

Sometimes the classics need to be "re-imagined"...

A few years ago, the cast of "Scrubs" posted this on YouTube:
