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

"The Bishop's Wife" (1947): A freshly minted bishop asks God for help building a new cathedral and is sent the suave Dudley (Cary Grant). Caught up with fundraising, the bishop doesn’t realize his neglected wife (Loretta Young) is having the time of her life with her heavenly new pal. Set during Christmas, it features incredible choir singing and an ice-skating scene that’s an all-timer. — TODD CUNNINGHAM
