Spokane7: Offbeat Xmas Movies

‘It’s a Wonderful Life.” “Miracle on 34th Street.” “Holiday Inn.” “A Christmas Story.” “Elf.” Turn on your TV at any point during the holiday season and any of these movies are bound to show up at some point. As great as they may be, you start to crave a little more variety every time an angel gets its wings or Natalie Wood tugs on Kris Kringle’s beard. Christmas is as much about tradition as anything else, which is why we tend to watch the same movies every year. But for anyone looking for something a bit different, here are eight cinematic offerings that might help you put together a more offbeat Christmas film festival. These films may have tinseled trees, guys in big red suits and snow as far as the eye can see, but they’re certainly not traditional and, with the exception of a couple, are best enjoyed after the little ones go to bed/ Nathan Weinbender, SR Spokane7.

Question: Do you have a favorite Christmas movie that doesn’t involve Jimmy Stewart, Darren McGavin or Natalie Wood?
