50 Darkest Christmas Movie Moments

In the bleak midwinter

Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves (1991)

The Dark Moment: While it's not a Christmas movie per se, there's no denying that the Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman) delivers the best ever Yuletide threat - "Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas!"

Bleak Implications: Can you imagine? It's bad enough that some councils still try and 'rebrand' Christmas as Winterval.

      I love Total Film's lists. I do. But when ever you make then you throw in some wiiiiild, ridiculous accusation ie; is Sunshine the greatest Sci-Fi movie of all time, or is Alien 3 actually the best one out of the lot. NO TO BOTH!! Gremlins as the darkest Christmas movie and It's A Wonderful Life second... you've gotta be kidding me. IAWL is the epitome of dark Christmas movies; its the reason that its famous, its the reason that it was lovingly restored into colour, and it does not deserve to be surpassed by some rubbish movie that has nothing to do with Christmas. SORT IT OUT TOTAL FILM

      The Ref should have been higher on the list. One of the best Dark/Fun Christmas movies ever!
