The Nightmare Before Christmas also gets my vote! I own the VHS tape but after 15 years it's pretty much warn out. It doesn't seem like an untraditional pick at all to me @unwirklich!
The combination of surrealism along with the excellent animation and soundtrack never gets old for me. Not to mention the Oogie Boogie man. ;-) Think I'll give myself an early Christmas present and buy the DVD!
I know, not traditional Christmas movie, but The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorites. youtube.com/watch?v=ZuWD-mSUtrU I also adore the original How the Grinch Stole Christmas.. the newer movie version is good, but not as good. youtube.com/watch?v=XYRnwWmteac.
Well, decide by yourself: The original version (French) of Mixed Nuts - translated in English: "Santa is a Junk" (le Pere Noel est une ordure) the second one is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Why would I love any other movie when I have those two histerical and marvelous films?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
