Every holiday season, I feel the need to add another movie to
the list of Christmas classics. If Batman Returns and Die Hard can be Christmas movies, why can’t The Shining be?

Yes!
Now consider this: is Inception a Christmas movie? It’s about a man trying to return home to his children and give them presents, and it has a lot more snow than Die Hard.
wow this just keeps getting better and better
and the hedge maze makes a labyrinith
Can you do Anastasia? Also acknowledge her as A Disney Princess regardless.
The gifts of the three wise men where gold, frankincense and murr
pretty crazy man lol
A winter solstice movie…wow! I love these theories, I've never heard before!
I always like to watch it on Father's Day.
I'd definitely say there is a Mandela effect involved. I vividly remember Wendy and Danny decorating a large Christmas tree
Your videos have never failed to amaze me throughout the years
When I saw the thumbnail I thought here’s Johnny!
This was one of the best analyses of the shining I've ever seen.
And I never see that coming from the title.
Thanks man.
It's kind of a stretch but I like this take
13:13 as a kid I would've killed for a snow day even if it meant shoveling snow, grew up in SoCal, all we had was cold rain, this was before the drought, after the drought started, it was just cold high winds and wild fires
Still nothing about the movie having 33 robot frogs, in case anyone has been wondering.
My wife and I have a tradition of watching The Shining every Thanksgiving, so by that logic, it’s definitely a Christmas movie.
There is no way you play raid.
great analysis
"Gremlins" was set at Christmas – plenty of references and snow everywhere
Yes. It teaches Christmas morals through tragedy.
It's a movie about a man that goes on vacation with his family. However, he grows emotionally distant as he puts his work before family and ends up losing their love and trust forever.
This was a fun watch 😊
Great video!
im surprised you forgot the idea that the movie itself is called shining, the topper of all christmas trees is an angel or a star, which shines.
I don't know why people are so obsessed with labelling movies as "Christmas" movies – I think it should be up to the people who made the movie and the intent of it. Not people trying to label something to feel snarky about knowing something you don't. Not that there's any harm in it, but I just feel people are stretching this idea.
The The princess bride is definitely a Christmas film.
ive read the book multiple times, seen both movies multiple times (kubrich one def the best imo), i never ever even tough about xmas
Nah, that was generic happening on that photo. Ask your mother about keys.

"It could mean nothing or it could mean everything." I'm not making this up.
I love this type of video from James. Where he can just talk about something for half an hour and give us his theories even if he is stretching them thin for fun.
Ohh die hard had snow.
I could’ve sworn I’ve seen a Christmas tree and stockings in that movie…Its probably because the movie is extremely cozy and holidays like Christmas and Halloween are cozy.
Stanley Kubrick's Spirit: Finally, somebody got it!
Def Mandela
It's whatever want it to mean.. That's the best thing about ANY form of art.
Not a Christmas movie.
Incredible analysis!
