I don't know if this is the most appropriate place to drop this, but I thought I'd try an existing thread instead of making a new one. For the Audioholics Newsletter, I've managed wrangle together some recommendations from content contributors. This week's Newsletter included some picks for Christmas Movies in a new newsletter recommendation feature called...
Here are this week's recommendations. But the NL feature will live on with music, movie, game recommendations to hopefully enhance your enjoyment of your A/V systems. So, if you're not already subscribed to the Newsletter, why not

This Christmas!
Your Irregular Recommendations From Audioholics
Gene: Christmas Vacation (Blu-ray) "We watch the movie Christmas Vacation as a yearly tradition and often quote Eddie "Shitter's full" or this is probably my favorite:
“Where do you think you’re gonna put a tree that big?” —
Todd Chester
“Bend over and I’ll show ya!” —
Clark Griswold"
Wayde: Die Hard (Blu-ray)
"I'm disappointed in the recent online push-back against
Die Hard as a legitimate Christmas movie. It is!
Besides the Christmas theme, including a party, the decorations, there's also the subplot involving the family of John and Holly McClane, and the loss John feels. But a "Christmas movie" is
really about tradition. If a viewing of Die Hard is a Christmas season tradition at your home - it's a Christmas movie!"
James: "A fun Christmas movie in the tradition in 'Gremlins' is
2015's 'Krampus,' which is about a holiday family get-together that falls under siege by Christmas-themed demons. This is a horror-comedy with very funny and grotesque monster designs and is a great antidote to all of the saccharine Hallmark Christmas movies. If you haven't seen it yet, do so; I am sure it will become a cult classic if not a traditional classic. "
