I second Rare Exports. It is very quirky and fun. My husband, who really doesn't like Christmas movies, said he could watch this one every year.

I'm especially trying to not look so Christian, no offense to the Christians out there in movie land. If it hasn't been done to death, how about Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Very secular. Also, Get Crazy. It's got Lou Reed playing a Bob Dylanish singer, Malcolm McDowell doing the same for Mick Jagger, and a bunch of other rock stars involved in a New Year's Eve concert. My favorite character is the audience member who enters costumed as a reefer, then runs out of the theater at the end as a roach (three feet shorter, with his head smoldering).

Re: [Videolib] weird christmas, you say?
How about MST3K's episode riffing off of the 1959 Mexican film Santa Claus - featuring Merlin (who else?) as the Q to Santa's James bond... Or, a pre-A Christmas story bob Clark slashing two genres for the price of one with black Christmas. And speaking of A Christmas Story, fans of radio might be warmed something special by jean shepherd doing his annual reading of what would become to film - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p63ZKW7fVls Enjoy!
