I saw this being talked about in another thread, and was just wondering. I always thought it's too "halloweeny" to classify it as a christmas film and too "christmasy" to classify it as a halloween film. What do you guys consider it?
I think of it as both, lol |
I think of it as more of a Christmas film...I think it was released about Christmas, too. And, of course, the fact that it's a musical makes it much more Christmas-like. It's open to interpretation, but I think Burton saw it as neither...however, if he had to choose one, I think he'd go with Christmas.

i agree it was a christmas film

Q: Is The Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween or a Christmas film?
A: Yes. |
Typical Burton movie, leaves you the viewer to decide for yourself. :D
|
TIM BURTON! -humps- NIGHTMARE BEFORE X-MAS IS AN ANYTIME MOVIE! -sings Danny Elfman- OH YEAH...DANNY ELFMAN = GODLY!
|
In my opinion, I see it more as a Halloween movie than a Christmas one. I guess 'cause I'm used to the Christmas films being more cheery and not quite as "spooky." Heh heh. Whichever it is, it's a good movie.

I dont think Burton knows what he's doing. WTF is that woman he's with Lisa Marie think she's doing? Has he hypnotized her or something. I can't see someone like her going for someone like him, but I guess thats just me.

She's obviously attracted to his creativity and intellect. Just because he isn't good looking doesn't mean he can't attract someone as beautiful as her. Looks aren't everything.

Quoting Jim Carrey from Liar Liar -
Max - "My teacher says that real beauty is on the inside" Fletcher - "that's just something ugly people say" |
LOL! Very good, but, easy to say when you're sitting behind a computer screen, Quasimodo (jk)!
|
When someone mentions "Christmas movies" I think of A Christmas Story or Its a Wonderful Life.
Movies you'd have to be lupid to enjoy outside of Christmas. When Halloween movies are mentioned I think "What the hell is a halloween movie?" Nightmare is always a great movie no matter when its watched. It needs not Christmas spirit to amplify its message or mood. |
