Iron Man 3
On one hand, Iron Man 3 deals with themes of redemption, generosity, greed and coming together with both friends and strangers for a better world, all of which are addressed in the Christmas season. Additionally, director Shane Black has even stated that Harley, the young boy Stark encounters, is sort of a “ghost of Christmas past” to the memory of a younger Tony. On a less optimistic note, division over menial issues is a perfect way to distract those unbearable relatives coming over this Christmas, arguing over politics or religion or how you need to do more with your life. Try popping in Iron Man 3, that way they’ll at least be arguing about the Mandarin twist instead of your questionable life choices. – Donald Strohman
