10 Non-Christmassy Christmas Films To Watch At Christmas

6. Kindergarten Cop

The Chronicles of Narnia
Universal Pictures

Unfortunately, Jingle All the Way was filled with too much Christmas spirit to make it onto this list, so that got swapped out for another classic Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. It’s obviously not going to be any movie in the Terminator franchise, but Kindergarten Cop is just as entertaining as any one of those movies,.

There is something extremely fun about watching Arnold interact with children and play a character who isn't all about killing and shooting down bad guys. Yes, Kindergarten Kop does have a few fun action scenes, but the real heart of the movie comes from the interaction between the film's three leads.

As Schwarzenegger himself puts it:

"When I finely met Ivan Reitman and we did Twins and then we did Kindergarten Cop, I was in heaven because he was such a great director and working with Danny DeVito was really great. In Kindergarten Cop, working with all those kids, it was such great training because when I went to Sacramento as Governor I had to be Kindergarten Cop up there as well."
