I Remember Liking That Movie

Trading Places (1983) Comedy Gold or Outdated Political Incorrectness? Or Both?

Remember Trading Places (1983), starring Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, and Jamie Lee Curtis? We had practically forgotten all about this early-’80s comedy, but even the trailer promises a whole lot of political incorrectness, and we couldn’t be more excited. We remember it being hilarious, but has time been kind to this comical social commentary, or has it curdled into an outdated relic? Either way, we’re all in.

It’s A Wonderful Life (1946) A Wonderful Movie or a Wonderful Disappointment?

Send us a textRemember It's A Wonderful Life? Of course you do. They played it at what seemed to be 24/7 all over cable back in the day. You get to know George through a backstory that takes up almost the entire movie, and then he decides that life would be better had he not been born, and well, you know the rest. Join us as we go back and watch Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, and that loud, annoying kid who tells us about Angels getting their wings. Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

Jingle All The Way (1996) A 90s Christmas Gem or Does this Belong on the Naughty List

Send us a textRemember the big-budget 90s Christmas movie Jingle All the Way starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sinbad, and Phil Hartman? We recall liking this movie from the 1990s, but we haven't seen it since then. It features special effects, comedy, drama, and the familiar story of parents fighting to get their kids the hard-to-get Christmas gift every kid wanted. So join us as we go back to the 90s and watch a Schwarzenegger Christmas movie that we hope is a Christmas gem and doesn't end up on our naughty list. Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

Holiday Inn (1942) A Classic Holiday Film with Song, Dance & Blackface

So join us as we go back to 1942 and take it all in. We can't wait.  Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

Batman Returns (1992) Is a Batman Film that takes place during Christmas a Nostalgic Gift or a Lump of Coal?

Send us a textRemember Batman Returns starring Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Christopher Walken & Michelle Pfeiffer. Sure, you do. It ushered in a whole era of men wanting their girlfriends or wives to dress up as Catwoman, and it didn't even have to be Halloween. Well, this one takes place over the Christmas Holidays, so we're picking it as a Holiday Film. With an all-star cast, Tim Burton returning, we are signing up to watch '90s Batman fight the Penguin and Catwoman during the Holiday Season, and we'll see if this is a nostalgic gift under the tree or a lump of coal in the stocking. Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1990) The Christmas Action Movie We Forgot

Send us a textRemember Die Hard, the perfect Christmas Action Movie? Well, it had a brother called Die Harder, and it too was a Christmas Action Movie. It doesn't get as much attention because it was a sequel. But it had a bigger budget, bigger explosions, a bigger body count, and it made a lot more money. We talk about Die Hard all the time, but this year we're going back to 1990 and watch the Christmas sequel. This time, John McLean gets stuck at an airport waiting for his wife to land, and it gets taken over by mercenaries who start doing all sorts of terrorist-y things. We remember loving this movie, and we can't wait to add it to our List of Holiday Action Movies to watch. Unless it sucks.     Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
