A great list as always (damn you, I read a story of yours and always end up adding at least one film to my list of "must watch again soon films").

I humbly disagree with your assessment that Lethal Weapon is a Christmas Movie. There are no Christmas tropes. No one gets saved by Santa, or changed by the Christmas spirit, including the main characters. It just takes place during Christmas.

My six-degrees-of-not-being-a-Christmas-movie Judo move: Hitler hated Christmas and Mel Gibson starred in Lethal Weapon. Dark slam dunk logic at the WMD level proving my point, if I say so myself.
