TheWrap’s 12 Days of Offbeat, Oddball Holiday Flicks

TheWrap's staffers don't watch "Elf" or "Miracle on 34th Street"; we watch "Gremlins," "Bad Santa" and Elvis' comeback special

"Jingle All the Way" (1996): Arnold Schwarzenegger has played a prehistoric barbarian, an artificially intelligent assassin and Danny Devito's twin brother, but no role was stranger than a workaholic father doggedly pursuing a Turbo Man action figure to please his son. Mix in a little anti-consumerism and a lot of Sinbad on top of laughs that may not all be intentional, and we have three words: You're welcome, America. — LUCAS SHAW
