That star wars holiday special is the worst thing next to redoing the series, and greedo shooting first that George Lucas has ever done.
Harrison Fords pay day had to be rediculous.

I've edited the list back in post #21.
It is not for obvious holiday films like Scrooged and other things with Christmas words in the title. It is a list for movies that fit the challenge criteria but may not be obvious from the title.
Edit to add: Any thought to extending the time period to January 1st? I really don't want to watch New Year's movies until after Christmas.

The more I think about it, I think a wild card option could work, becuase it would be a way to include various holiday specials that are on tv during christmas time.

Couple of lists of non-traditional Christmas movies I found on the net. I already know that some count but I haven't seen them all, so I can't vouch for the eligibility. Just thought I'd post them for debate.
Also, what about Funny Farm? A fairly substantial portion occurs around Christmas.

And Trevor, I'm going to take advantage of your OCD and let you list all the eligible/questionable movies so I can make up a queue for myself like I did for Halloween.

Rocky IV was brought up last year. I am a huge fan of the Rocky series, but this movie does not count. The main fight takes place on Christmas day, but there is no telling how long he trained for. He could have been training for months ahead of time, which means only about 20 minutes of the movie takes place during the holiday season.
Also, I'm not sure about Ghostbusters II, I know it takes place during New Years Eve at the end, but I can't remember if it's just that time of the movie, or if it takes place during that time the whole movie.

This will be my first year doing this. However, every year, I "vow" to watch more holiday movies during the season and I only watch a few. But taking part in this "challenge" will give me the incentive to watch more.
