Christmas Movies (2025)

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

By

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.

Halloween Month (2025)

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

Martial Arts Month (2025) – Jackie Chan

By

I love martial arts movies, and Jackie Chan is the major reason behind that. I’ve been watching Jackie Chan movies before Rush Hour, when the only movies he was in were dubbed. Fun fact: Jackie Chan dubs himself in his non-US movies (e.g., the Police Story franchise, Who Am I, etc.). The selections this month are some of my favorite Jackie Chan films in the US.

Also, September was an ambitious month this year due to the numerous special event movies; it’s almost as busy as May.

Mystery Month (2025)

There’s no central theme to the mystery movies this year; they’re all just random selections of films I’ve wanted to watch (or watch again). The best thing about mystery movies is the various ways they can captivate an audience. It can be through action, drama, thriller, or even comedy. I think the selections this month reflect that idea.

I’ve listed the selections for the month below, and I really enjoyed what I picked … with one exception. All of these movies, with four (or more) stars, I would watch again. There are also bonus and special event movies this month.

Action-Adventure Month (2025): Bourne Again

By

On August 12, 2025

In Monthly Movie Theme, Movies

For Action-Adventure Month (2025), I watched all the movies in the Jason Bourne universe. There are 5, only four of which star Matt Damon. I wasn’t sure how to approach this. Part of me thought about doing individual reviews just as I do for the other months. Then again, this is a collection of films and, oftentimes, I do a bulk summation.

I’m going to do a combination of both. There is also the bonus and special event section with some additional entries from the month. Before I do the breakdown, though, I have to note that I enjoyed all of these movies. I need to watch these movies more frequently. They are definitely on the list of movies to watch repeatedly.
