We hope you enjoy this feature, our thoughts on the movies listed, and the memories we associate with them!
Zerek Laghari – “A Nightmare Before Christmas”
When I first watched this movie, I really enjoyed the worldbuilding. The movie’s style and artistic design give it a lot of Christmas and Halloween vibes that are really fun, while developing the idea of breaking the routine and experiencing the consequences. I like how Jack’s beliefs can change throughout the movie, he doesn’t stay stagnant but grows. I think the movie is perfect for the Christmas season and the Halloween season, but I would argue it is more about Christmas.
