10 Non-Christmas Films You Can TOTALLY Get Away With Watching This Festive Season

10. The World Is Not Enough

Released in 1999, Pierce Brosnan's third outing as Bond (and his third best Bond film) involves a villain who feels no pain, oil pipelines and a nuclear submarine. After an oil tycoon is murdered, Bond has to protect his daughter and hunt down a terrorist before an international power struggle ends in a nuclear war. Although it's not the best Bond film by a long stretch, it's one of the most fun with an unforgettable boat chase, countless gadgets and the last appearance of Q played by Desmond Llewelyn.

How to convince others: First and foremost, the Bond girl (played by Denise Richards) is called Jones. Dr. Jones. Dr. Christmas Jones. Bond, of course, doesn't back down from using her name as a pun as often as possible with classics such as a post-coital "I thought Christmas only comes once a year" and "I've always wanted to have Christmas in Turkey."

Also, the film does reach its climax (heh) on Christmas day, there's plenty of snow when Elektra King and Bond are chased by skiing assassins and there is also a fat man in a suit called Valentin Zukovsky (Robbie Coltrane).
