Comedy Month (2026) – John Candy Tribute

By

There will never be another John Candy. He was a legend and the reason the 80s and 90s are the greatest era of movies. The original plan was to watch the documentary, John Candy: I Like Me, as part of this tribute, but I ended up watching it around Christmas.

If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, then you will really appreciate the documentary. I highly recommend it. You learn that John Candy was truly one in a million. I immensely enjoy all of the movies on this list, but after watching this documentary, they also make me sad. The world was such a better place with him in it.

Check out the 2026 Comedy Month selections below.

Drama Month (2026) – Best Picture Nominees

This may become an “every February” thing, since most Best Picture nominees are dramas. I rarely see any of the nominated movies, so this is a great opportunity to rectify that. Also, since I am trying to play the Oscar game again, this can help me make my predictions. If you want to see my predictions, you can head over to that post. In any event, here is the list of Best Picture movies I watched.

SciFi Month (2026) – Terminated

Arnold as the Terminator

For Science Fiction month, I decided to finally watch all of the Terminator movies. This series has quite the tumultuous history. The first two movies are written and directed by James Cameron. He wanted to do a third movie, but he lost the rights in an auction in 1997. After the release of the third film, the rights were sold again.

Terminator Salvation was released in 2003, and then the company filed for bankruptcy. Terminator Genisys was initially intended to be the first installment of a new trilogy before James Cameron regained the rights in 2019. However, the idea was scrapped after its low performance at the box office. Terminator: Dark Fate is produced by James Cameron and was also intended to be the first installment of a new trilogy. The project was scrapped for the same reason.

As a result of all this, the franchise is disjointed and incongruent. Does that affect their entertainment value?

Another Christmas in the books; it always goes too fast. I did get a chance to watch several movies this year and a decent mix of selections. This is also the inaugural year for a new special event movie, Elf Celebration Day (on December twELFth). Let’s get the list of default movies.

Oh Christmas Tree
  • White Christmas
  • 8-Bit Christmas
  • Scrooged
  • A Christmas Story
  • A Christmas Story Christmas
  • Christmas Vacation
  • Four Christmases

We watched Four Christmases again this year, so it’s now pretty much a default choice. Believe it or not, we did not watch Spirited this year, which surprises me since my daughter enjoys it so much. Now let’s get to the non-default choices, including a 2025 Christmas movie.

Random Month (2025) – Musicals

Yes, you read that right. This month I watched musicals. In the spirit of full disclosure, musicals are also kind of a secret indulgence of mine. A good musical is hard to dislike and even harder not to sing along to. If you’re into that kind of thing. I realize they may not be everyone’s cup of tea. One of the things I enjoy about most modern musicals is learning about all the actors who can actually sing. I’m delighted with the selections I made, and you can see them below, including the bonus movies I fit in this month.

Sorry for the delay; the end of the year is always busy. It was scary movie season. Granted, I don’t watch many scary movies, but I do enjoy the occasional creepy flick. As I’ve mentioned in the past, there are several default movies that I watch every October, if I can fit them in, because I enjoy checking out other films. Here are the default (perhaps even classic?) films I watched this Halloween month.

  • The Nightmare Before Christmas
  • Psycho
  • Army of Darkness
  • Gremlins
  • Ghostbusters
  • Beetlejuice
