One of the US’s most beloved holiday movies, Bob Clark’s enduring and old-fashioned Boomer holiday favourite is an ode to consumerism, gun worship and family eccentricity told through the eyes of a kid who dreams of scoring a BB gun for Christmas. Black Christmas director Clark keeps the edges rough on this slice of Americana, foregoing the schmaltz for a healthy dose of gruff, blue-collar cheer and tongue-on-frozen-flagpole realism.
