Santa Claus: The Movie

[Catman]

They are airing this film right now on ABC Family. Damn...when I was a kid I used to LOVE this movie! Kids who grew up in the `90s had the Tim Allen movie but us kids in the `80s had this movie with Dudley Moore and that fat guy from Blazing Saddles. t:

But, let me tell ya something! The damn Salkinds really need to restore this movie. For a movie that was released in 1985 it looks like crap!

Yeah, John Lithgow always plays a great villain.

 

[Catman]

Any love for this movie out there?

 

[patrickbateman]

classic indeed

 

[The Guard]

I love this movie. It's such a pseudo SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE approach it's not funny. My favorite part is when all the toys start breaking.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I saw this movie as a kid and loved it. But I haven't rewatched it in years.

John Lithgow OWNS this movie.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I saw this last Christmas Eve for the first time in a few years and actually bought it a few weeks ago, it was a huge fave as a kid, seeing this thread inspired me to watch it tonight.

John Lithgow just owns it, the scenery cowers as he chomps his way through every scene!

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

For a movie about Santa Clause he's hardly in it. I was always hoping for a origin story like the old holiday special about Santa clause...that was a epic storyline. With the war with the elves and rock monsters. That's the Santa Clause movie I want.

This classic poster reminds me of the old Star Wars and Legend ones in the 80's.

Love this movie since I was kid. Its required viewing by me every December or its not Christmas! I think David Huddelston is my all time favorite Santa.

One looks high and other drunk. I'm pretty sure that's how they made the movie.

Seeing is believing. Loved this movie as a kid. Very underrated Christmas movie.

Very underrated Christmas movie.

In the U.S. and Canada. In Europe it was a big hit. It grossed $125 million. That was good money in 1985. It's like $300 million now.
