Tired Of The Same Christmas Movies? Try These Obscure Holiday Flicks.

The holidays are a time of traditions. Because there’s always the same foods, the same family jokes, the same exchanging of presents. But do you have to watch the same movies? Or would you rather switch things up with the best obscure Christmas movies? Well, we’ve got your back.

Here are the best obscure Christmas movies to keep things interesting this holiday season.

Unaccompanied Minors

Before he blew up with movies like Bridesmaids and Ghostbusters, director Paul Feig helmed this underrated holiday caper. At an airport, a group of stranded kids bands together to ward off grumpy adults (including a who’s who of your favorite comedy actors), get into all kinds of shenanigans, and learn a lesson or two about the Christmas spirit.

The Ref

Think your family holiday dinners are tough? You ain’t got nothing on the Chasseurs, the miserable family at the center of the pitch-black comedy The Ref. Denis Leary stars as a hapless robber who wanders into the family dysfunction on Christmas Eve. He winds up getting distracted from stealing their jewels by acting as a sort of, well, referee.

The Night Before

Anthony Mackie, Seth Rogen, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt play best friends who have slowly drifted apart since childhood. But every night on Christmas Eve, they come together for a night of wild debauchery.

The Night Before is a raunchy romp like any other Rogen flick. But it’s also stylishly directed, has a lovely amount of heart, and features an incredible supporting turn from Michael Shannon.

The Long Kiss Goodnight

Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson are the best Christmas action duo since Harry and Marv. In The Long Kiss Goodnight, the holidays provide a fun backdrop to a twisty, Bourne Identity-esque plot in which Davis suddenly discovers she possesses all the skills of a spy. Set pieces and quippy dialogue galore in this macho gift of a film.
