Sometimes movies are made and the back drop of the movie is that it's set during Christmas Time. So these movies aren't really Christmas, but they are. Here's some movies with descriptions for you.

THE REF- A guy decides to rob a house and the alarm goes off, he runs seeking shelter in another and is caught in the act by the son, and the rest of the family coming to visit for the Holidays. In the mess he poses as a therapist and as an outsider makes observations that help the family. They solve their own problems and help him get away.

29TH STREET-The true story of the first winner of the New York state lottery. Set in New York City in the 1950s-60s at first then follows the boy to a man.  He says his curse is that he is lucky, and the movie shows the different things in his life where is did luck out. Till, one day he wins a bundle in the lottery and tries to get his father out of debt with loan sharks. The movie begins with that scene and he is arrested, then says he has to tell his life story to them for that night to make sense. Another great twist in this one. Set on Christmas Eve.

DIE HARD- This one takes place on the night of his wife’s office Christmas Party. There is a growing sub culture that continues to herald Die Hard as the best Christmas movie ever, but they need to get a grip. A cop John McClain comes back to go to the Christmas Party and gets trapped in the kidnapping by some hoodlums, he then battles them to rescue his wife and her co workers, helped out by a cop (played by Reginald VelJohnson who played Carl Winslow...also a cop...don't think I missed that) and ends up rescuing the whole party. (oops spoiler alert....but I thought you all saw it before).

Rocky IV- This is totally not a Christmas movie, but what happens is Rocky flies to Russia and has to beat up a Russian named  Ivan Drago, who also has an uncanny resemblance to Arnold's Terminator Character, only Russian. He beats him up and gets the Russians to like him all on Christmas. How convenient!!!

 

Got any classics you like to watch at Christmas that aren’t really Christmas movies. Let me know.
