Because you can only watch Home Alone so many times...
It's Christmas! Everybody's busy getting drunk and devouring their own weight in food, such that there's no better time to veg out in front of the TV with a classic Christmas film, like It's A Wonderful Life, Home Alone, Gremlins, A Miracle on 34th Street and so on. The list is endless. But isn't it a bit trite to just watch the same, predictable holiday movies ever year?
Sure, they're classics, but even the best movie can eventually get worn out if watched routinely enough, and as such, why not seek out something a little...different this Christmas?
