I'm with this post. I not only think of this as the best Christmas movie ever, but also believe it is as important a Christmas movie as the others on this list as it was the first film that I can remember to create a seasonal merchandising fad (outside of traditional xmas merchandising) as well as the first to do the whole Christmas/not Christmas movie thing which has been quite popular.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Plus I've always seen Gremlins as the anti-A Christmas Carol. I prefer the idea of the Scrooge character dying on a rocket powered stair lift over an overnight supernatural brainwashing any day.
Plus, plus; who wouldn't rather have an adorable little furry animal that sings lullabies over a geriatric in his pyjamas.
