Some may say that the most perfect movies in existence are in fact Christmas movies. Other Christmas movies fall flat. Here's your chance to share what you think would make a perfect Christmas movie.

What you will need:
1) Title
2) Brief description/plot synopsis (single-sentence pitch will work)
3) Christmas message
4) Setting (and how it ties into Christmas)
5) Genre (or drama mix); medium (film, animation, etc.)
6) Key actors and their roles (from any era); Director
7) The rating

Have fun with this!

MY PERFECT CHRISTMAS MOVIE

1) Title: The First and Last Christmas
2) Synopsis: Many years in the future and two years after in the wake of a galactic war with an advanced alien race, Earth is a decimated planet with very limited resources for the remaining humans to survive. A lone astronomer sees the enemy alien race's final blow coming: an weaponized black hole that will devour Earth. In a time where Christmas has been forgotten in history, he unites the clans warring over Earth's remaining resources and gifts them the stock pile from his northern observatory. Then they all watch as the Earth is consumed into nothingness.
3) Christmas message: Giving and celebration even in the most dire of circumstances
4) Setting: Earth, 3088, nuclear winter
5) Genre and Medium: Post-apocalyptic western action-drama that is live-action black and white and shot on a digital digital backlot
6) Actors: Paul Newman as The Astronomer, Jimmy Stewart as The Good Clan Leader, Kevin Spacey as The Bad Clan Leader, Sam Rockwell as The Maverick
Direction: Elia Kazan
7) Rating: R, for mature themes and situations

I really liked Midnight in Paris.

@ Kafka.


I like that some think the Christmas movies already made are perfect.
