You say you’re a dispirited Democrat who just wants to put the recent unpleasantness behind you by watching a few holiday movies? That might not work this year. This year, in movies about Santa Claus and the North Pole and elves, you might hear unfortunate echoes of the 2004 presidential election.

1. Maybe this year.

But all the traditional holiday movies are STRONGLY liberal. Wonderful Life, anyone?

[Debbi801]

2. Wonderful Life and Christmas Story are the only 2 that count.

4. Don't Forget Bad Santa

Where redemption is found by putting faith in people (as opposed to magic beings).

6. I've never seen this...

Is this the one with Billy Bob Thorton? Is it good?

[AG78]

5. And the Grinch

Nobody beats the Who's. They're just a happy people.

3. I Think Lundegaard

Is spending way too much time watching unimaginative films. Poor guy.

He also misses the point on It's a Wonderful Life. Its message is not cynical, its about avoiding falling into it. Potter, the poohbah of cynicism, is defeated in the end.
