After saving Istanbul from nuclear destruction, this 1999 film ends on Christmas (or very close to it), with the main character sharing a champagne toast with a woman, noting that he always wanted to spend Christmas in Turkey. The last line of the film has the hero quipping to his partner that he thought Christmas came only once a year (spoiler: he's not talking about the holiday this time).
As the credits start to roll on the films Die Hard and Die Hard 2 which Christmas carol, written by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne and performed by Vaughn Monroe is playing.
The action of this film begins when Dr. Bill Harford and his wife, Alice, attend a holiday party thrown by one of his wealthy patients. Before the film ends, Dr. Harford narrowly avoids bedding a prostitute infected with HIV, discovers a man renting out his daughter to business associates, and gets found out at a top secret orgy for the rich and powerful. Name this final film to be directed by Stanley Kubrick.
One scene in this film takes place at a masked Christmas ball. The title character and a woman he is pursuing are the only ones without masks, even though they had met earlier wearing masks, something they only realize while dancing when she says Mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it, and he replies A kiss can be even deadlier. Identify this 1992 sequel which saw Max Schrek, played by Christopher Walken, hosting that ball (20 years later, these same two characters would share a dance at a masked ball, but at least she would be wearing a mask this time).
The climax of this film takes places on Christmas Day, not that the Godless Soviets who are playing host would care! The training montage in this film was supposedly inspired by the real training of wrestler Aleksandr Karelin. Identify this Cold War era sequel that introduced the world to Dolph Lundgren.
On the surface, this 1968 film seems like a warm one ... centered around a family reunion at a castle. In this case, however, the recently returned from exile Eleanor is not pleased with her husband's affair, and their three children John, Geoffrey, and Richard are constantly plotting against their father. Identify this film set at Christmas, 1183, with Henry II trying to deal with a family crisis, and the impending war with France that it may trigger.
Give the title of the film No holiday film is complete without the assassination of a priest (not really, folks), only to see the hitman miss and kill a young boy instead (you can practically hear the bells jingling in the background!). The hapless hitman, Ray, and his partner Ken are thus sent to the title city to lay low ... something Ray can't seem to do. Identify this film which sees Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell in a seeming lose-lose situation in a city which Farrell's character, Ray, compares to Hell. (edited at 8:36 am, December 24, 2016 (PST))
The Christmas carol "Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Grown?", sung by Nina, was written for this film (sunshine and rain drops, in case you didn't know). Most of this film takes place in Switzerland at a place called Piz Gloria, an arch villain's lair fronting as an allergy clinic. Identify this film that sees our hero, played by George Lazenby, get married, only to see his wife murdered shortly after on the orders of Telly Savalas' character.
Who would have guessed that cornering the market on frozen orange juice futures could be the cornerstone of such an enduring comedy? When two brothers make a bet over whether nurture or nature makes the man, they throw one of their more promising investment specialists into the gutter, while promoting a homeless con artist to a high position in their firm. Identify this film which sees Dan Aykroyd fall for a prostitute played by Jamie Lee Curtis, while teaming with Eddie Murphy to outwit brothers Mortimer and Randolph (who end up ruined, though are much later saved by Prince Hakeem in Coming to America).
Chris Columbus sold the script to this film to Steven Spielberg along with the script to the later produced Goonies. Howie Madell provided one of the voices in this film.
