11+ Christmas Movies For People Who Hate Christmas Movies

Although Shane Black's classic horror-comedy is set in the days leading up to Christmas, the holiday background doesn't get in the way of any shenanigans. One character has a speech later on, but she's not exactly "yay Christmas."

I'm glad I'm not a kid anymore. I mean, I'm terrified of getting old and dying. But if I had to watch two kids get a trip to Jurassic World as a Christmas present, I'd be too jealous to enjoy the movie.

The family trip to London to visit Granny Wendy is over Christmas break, but I'm pretty sure there's no Christmas in Neverland, and most of the movie happens there.

No matter what they do, that soulless remake is gonna drain the happiness right out of me.

The fountain of all Wednesday memes not about frogs. The first thing the Addamses do onscreen is pour something from a roof-cauldron onto some Christmas carolers. Then the movie skips to January or something.

Probably the best movie ever made where the villain is a painting. It takes place in December, and the climax is New Year's Eve, but it has no scenes of Slimer wrapping up a slime-covered present for Bill Murray, so that's a win.

Is it just a matter of time before we catch Bill Murray doing the floss dance with other home appliances?

Yup, the mother of all slasher movies takes place during the month of December. Luckily, Norman Bates and his mom are able to get their Christmas shopping done in one trip.

Sure, it wasn't great, but Prometheus was pretty and had a lot of Ridley Scott touches — like Idris Elba setting up a Christmas tree in one scene until Charlize Theron shoots him down.

Michelle Pfieffer, Danny DeVito, and Christopher Walken versus Batman? Yes, please.

Plus, Gotham City is in full holiday mode — so it's the creepiest Tim Burton Christmas without stop-motion animation.

I guess I didn't have to watch all the ones without any Christmas stuff, but don't tell me how to live my life.

This might come dangerously close to getting a bit Christmasey, but it's worth it when Denis Leary says, "I just beat up Santa Claus."

Although not at all about Christmas, as the years go by there's a little annual tradition that happens every holiday. I won't spoil it for you, but it involves Tom Hanks and that should be enough to watch it.

Tony gives Pepper a Christmas present in one scene, but I'm pretty sure this one's only set during the holiday season so Tony can drag his suit through the snow later on.

The payoff at end of Toy Story mirrors the beginning, with the toys nervous about Andy's new Christmas presents.

I'd have said "spoiler" but if you haven't seen this, you might actually be a living toy using your human's computer.

What do they get each other? Smaller toys? Are those toys alive?

If I'd known this movie was gonna give me issues like this, I would've skipped it.

Not only Kubrick's last film, but Tom Cruise's last film before Mission: Impossible 2 — maybe not a huge deal, I just really like that one.

Also, did y'all know his full name is Thomas Cruise Mapother IV? Wild.

Another Tim Burton special, but Christmas only rolls around later in the movie. Even then, it's mostly Winona Ryder enjoying some live ice sculpting and a heartbreakingly creepy flashback.

Honestly, the minute he met Johnny Depp, did he just delete every other number on his phone except Danny Elfman and Helena Bonham-Carter?

Although Rocky's big fight at the end of Rocky IV happens on Christmas Day, there's a brief Christmas scene in the original. Maybe that explains Stallone's deconstructed eggnog.

The apocalypse happened over the holidays, so Will Smith spends his days going all Dumpster Wars with Christmas decorations still up all over the place. I hate it when my neighbors leave them up past New Year's, so that must really suck.

Oh, and I guess the utter annihilation of human society, too. That's also a bummer.

Sure, it's a Christmas movie. But unless you have fond memories of your local mall Santa terrorizing the food court, it's gonna be less sugary nostalgia and more bitter, dark (really dark) comedy.
