Jingle All The Way
Arnold Schwartzenegger stars as Howard Langston, an
overworked mattress salesman who has been neglecting his
family of late; in an attempt to redeem himself, he promises
his son whatever he wants for Christmas. Turns out that his
heart's desire is a TurboMan doll, coveted by every other
kid this year as well, and Howard quickly forgets about his
promise until Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, all the stores
are already sold out, and Howard embarks upon a wild goose
chase throughout the streets of Minneapolis, encountering
some wacky characters along the way. These include a postal
worker of questionable sanity (Sinbad), a ticket-happy
police officer (Robert Conrad), and a con-artist Santa Claus
(James Belushi). As Howard's hunt drags on, his bachelor
neighbor (Phil Hartman) starts to move in on his wife (Rita
Wilson).

Nightmare Before
Christmas
Tim Burton's stop-motion animated feature finds Pumpkin King Jack Skellington
thinking the grass is greener over in Santa Claus's holiday. He marshals all his
goblins and ghouls to take over Christmas, but alas--poor Jack belongs to
Halloween. An amazing visual and musical feast that should be seen at least
twice to catch all the kinks and quirks in the nooks and crannies. Academy Award
Nominations: Best Visual Effects.
Stealing Christmas
Tony Danza stars as Jack Clayton, a small town crook who finds himself in hot
water after a botched heist at a shopping mall. In an attempt to elude the cops,
he catches a bus out of town. Landing in the quaint town of Evergreen, Jack dons
a Santa Claus suit and takes a job in a Christmas tree lot where he meets Sara
Gibson (Lea Thompson), a kind single mother. When Jack realizes that he may have
a chance to take a large amount of money from the town bank vault on Christmas
Eve, it becomes a race against time to see if the good people of his new town
can make him see the error of his criminal ways.
