“Batman Returns” and other unexpected Christmas movies

If you’re marathoning Christmas movies during the holidays, check out some films with unexpected Christmas scenes and songs. Gizmodo’s Darren Orf has a great list of atypical Christmas movies including Batman Returns, Rare Exports, and Die Hard 2 (the original film starring Bruce Willis, Die Hard, tops our D’Angelo Law Library staff list of favorite Christmas movies).

Other movies that have surprise Christmas scenes in them: Lethal Weapon, The Apartment, Auntie Mame (and Mame, the musical), Gremlins, Edward Scissorhands, Trading Places, Look Who’s Talking Now, Rocky IV, Brazil (?!), Meet Me in St. Louis (Judy Garland sings “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas“), and About a Boy. Some of them are listed in Empire magazine’s The 30 Best Christmas Movies Ever. And for a festive change of pace, have a very Bollywood Christmas!
