Christmas Films Not For the Family

December 6th, 2010 by www.moviethink.com

There are lots of reasons not to show children a movie, one of which is it’s really good. That’s right, many aspects of modern cinema that enhance the overall quality of a film simply aren’t appropriate for certain eyes. Humor, nudity, two staples of successful box office hits, simply do not cater to well-balanced upbringings. So when basking in the light of your thoroughly decorated Christmas tree and rent a holiday themed movie to carry on the seasonal spirit thought the house, stay away from these selections. But by all means, go ahead and pop them in the old DVD player once the milk and cookies are out and the kiddies are asleep.1.Eyes Wide Shut (1999) Stanley Kubrick’s final film, and quite the accomplishment it is. Amid the post-Thanksgiving lights, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman give a performance only enhanced by their real life relationship and chemistry at the time of filming. However, with more nudity and stronger sexual content than some all-out adult films, it’s better to be viewed in private with the Mrs. Clause of the house.2.Bad Santa (2003) Simply hilarious. Billy Bob Thornton in a roll he was born to play, but that statement enough should tell you this isn’t a Santa you want your children to associate with.3.Black Christmas (1974) This epic slasher film will strike fear into the hearts of merry men, in this film full of blood. Meanwhile, the 2006 remake may certainly send blood rushing somewhere, it’s just not on-screen. With sorority sisters getting carved up like Christmas hams, the ’74 classic is recommended for any horror film, the ’06 knockoff will only satisfy guys who could play the girls’ fraternity counterparts in a sequel.
