cosy Xmas feel of this movie
the home, the town, the community (makes me want to live in a nice community type town like that), the Christmas card end matte painting
essential Xmas viewing
Oh ya totally, i make sure i watch it every year. I get the cozy feeling too
sharerecently I got it on dvd for the sole purpose that i have it on standby to watch every Christmas
I'll be watching it again this Christmas (as I've done every year!) with my (extended) family :)
shareSuper cozy Christmas viewing, even though I haven't seen it in years. And despite Phoebe Cates' Santa Clause story.
shareGood call & something I've never thought of. Def going on Christmas week viewing list :)

Visions are worth fighting for, why spend your life making someone else's dreams
other Xmas movies I have on my Xmas viewing list (not as essential as Gremlins though) - Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart version), Star Trek Generations (Picards nexus), Batman Returns (not really a fan of the film itself but Burtons xmas setting makes it a must), Sherlock Game of Shadows (for the end), Ghostbusters (not GB2 even though I think that one is set at xmas) and BTTF - ok I know BTTF isn't a Christmas movie but I just associate it with Xmas for some reason (maybe as its a similar small town set up to Gremlins, plus saw it at cinema Dec 85)
Kingston Falls' (Gremlins) town square is the same town square as Hill Valley (Back to the Future).
Rewatching Gremlins this year paying close attention to the square and see the bank where Billy works is just near to the cinema Marty drives at/into, then further down the bar where Phoebe Cates works is on the stretch where the DeLorean has to get up to 88, can even see the clock tower in the opening
shareAll snowy/christmasy of course (when one considers BTTF was set October/November 1955/85 i guess in a certain way Gremlins is like a sequel..)
