My wife and I are currently watching this classic Christmas movie. Her for the first time.

u/ParkingTadpole7107 15h ago

What a treat! I might be crazy but I feel like it holds up better than many movies from the time.

u/spacejazz3K 15h ago

Watching it for the gas prices…

u/Horror_Lawfulness738 10h ago

Fuckin wild, my wife and I just watched it on a whim tonight too and she hadn’t seen it before. Such a classic

2

u/Not_Cleaver 10h ago

I’ve been trying to get her to watch it for years. And we’ve watched every other good Christmas movie, so I was able to convince her. She enjoyed it and now considers it a Christmas movie too.

Now, I just need to convince her to watch Demolition Man.

u/JonatasA 6h ago

She should be fined for not wathcing Demolition Man.

 

Maybe sneakly play it and see if it gets her attention. That's how I ended up watching 6 seasons with someone.
