60 of 255 · most liked firstSomehow just watched “Jingle All The Way” for the first time and it is my new favorite Christmas movie.
positive · AI labelView post →so many users flocking to blue sky, it reminds me of when hoards of moviegoers flocked into theaters to see my smash holiday movie classic JINGLE ALL THE WAY
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember what’s important today! (That there’s a Solar Opposites Christmas special about the aliens being sucked into the movie Jingle All The Way that I wrote without having watched Jingle All The Way, but I got pretty damn close to guessing what it was about.) (I did watch the trailer.)
neutral · AI labelView post →Feel like I'm in the Jingle All the Way movie trying to find my niece these fucking Wicked Barbies for Christmas lol.
neutral · AI labelView post →New Hamazaki is like if someone watched the movie Jingle All the Way and was like “this movie’s cool and all but what if we replaced Arnold Schwarzenegger with a Hallmark Christmas Movie lead so he stands out less.” New actor’s apparently a sex pest irl so uh, cool, I guess.
neutral · AI labelView post →I still remember him for his role as Ted in Jingle All The Way. I don't care how the world treats this movie, it's a holiday film tradition for me & my family. It was the last movie released in Phil's lifetime. It's how I have honored him every year.
positive · AI labelView post →I love the holiday season, but I typically don't buy things for myself. This year I made a big exception that just arrived and I'm so happy. I got a screen used sealed action figure from Jingle All The Way! Holding it is absolutely surreal. This was my favorite Christmas movie as a kid.
positive · AI labelView post →There's only one movie you need to watch to understand America, and it's Jingle All the Way
positive · AI labelView post →Somebody watched 'Jingle All the Way' and figured out how far Arnold... er "Howard" would have needed to drive in the movie (set in the Twin Cities). It was an entertaining read and resulted in me re-watching the movie last night. The movie holds up. Nice scenes of 1990s fashion and 1990s carpets.

neutral · AI labelView post →Big time marketing pros all envy my ability to effortlessly associate my work with the glamour of the beloved Sinbad/Schwarzenegger film "Jingle All the Way."
neutral · AI labelView post →Forget DIE HARD, forget JINGLE ALL THE WAY, it’s time for a proper Christmas movie… Where are my WHERE EAGLES DARE fans at?
neutral · AI labelView post →Jingle All The Way is the best Christmas movie because it's got comedy, NTR, and tokusatsu all in one Arnold shaped package.
positive · AI labelView post →Jingle All The Way might be hogshit but all of the shots of 90's St. Paul looking all Christmasy make it the ultimate Christmas movie to me like man they were making that movie while I was like 15 miles away jacking off to a drawing of topless Marle from Chrono Trigger I did in my math notebook
neutral · AI labelView post →Without saying Last Action Hero, fav Arnold Schwarzenegger film? 🎥 My brain says Total Recall, but my goofball dad heart says Jingle All The Way
neutral · AI labelView post →The 'is Die Hard a Christmas movie' internet argument always confused because of course it is. Christmas is the central theme of the movie. How is there an argument to be had here? Turns out up until this point I've had Jingle All the Way confused with Die Hard

neutral · AI labelView post →Arguing that Die Hard isn’t a Christmas Movie is easy mode. We should start a movement arguing that Jingle All The Way isn’t a Christmas movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Jingle All The Way is such a fun and ridiculous Christmas movie that I can't help but love. Especially Arnold, Sinbad, and Phil Hartman's over the top performances. It's nice to see more critics and riffers treat it as a so bad it's good Christmas classic.
positive · AI labelView post →Finally watched the movie Jingle All The Way (1996) and guys I think the real meaning of Christmas is starting to be overshadowed by rampant consumerism
neutral · AI labelView post →A Christmas Heist movie but with the BBC series treatment of Oliver Cromwell. Kind of a Pride and Prejudice meets Jingle All The Way.
neutral · AI labelView post →#Watched Jingle All the Way (1996) - CHRISTMAS MOVIE #6 - Arnold and Sinbad rampage though Minnesota while Phil Hartman is the king of pussy-slammin’ suburban dads, all the yoga moms want his Christmas package. Terrible, but in the spirit of the season, 3 things I actually liked about this movie:
neutral · AI labelView post →Kelsey and I were watching the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Jingle All the Way last night and there was a scene where Arnold breaks his neighbor's window. Kelsey said, "Hey, When do I get to break some glass?"
neutral · AI labelView post →Best: Jingle All the Way Worst: The Santa Clause Watching 2 grown ass men fight over a turbo man doll while learning the true meaning of Christmas is great. Also the delivery of “who told you you could eat my cookies!”
positive · AI labelView post →JINGLE ALL THE WAY is a Christmas movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Is Jingle All The Way a particularly good movie? Not really. Is it a fun movie with delightfully over the top performances, especially from Arnold, Sinbad, and Phil Hartman, that's a modern Christmas classic? Hell yes.
positive · AI labelView post →In an effort to broaden family Saturday Xmas films (saving Elf for next week) we watched Jingle All The Way (1996) yesterday. The only Xmas film in which Arnold Schwarzenegger punches a reindeer.
positive · AI labelView post →JINGLE ALL THE WAY is the only movie brave enough to make the audience imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger and Yeardley Smith having sex and the potential sounds that might result.

neutral · AI labelView post →This is one of those movies I’ve seen people say is “so bad it’s good” and nah, I think Jingle All The Way is genuinely a very funny and heartwarming movie that fits the season perfectly. Plus a great Phil Hartman performance.
positive · AI labelView post →I think mid 90s... think Jingle All The Way, a movie where the plot is Arnie desperately trying to get *that toy* for his kid for Christmas... 1996 www.imdb.com/title/tt0116...
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's Christmas movie is: Jingle All The Way
neutral · AI labelView post →the NWO arc is so funny in hindsight bc Hogan giving all these dudes "big movie parts" is part of the plot and the "big movies" are like Suburban Commando and a bit part in Jingle All The Way
neutral · AI labelView post →Every year my partner forgets that my favorite Xmas movie is Jingle All the Way, and every year I feel the disrespect against Turbo Man grow deeper.
positive · AI labelView post →Kicking off the morning with JINGLE ALL THE WAY, a criminally underrated Christmas film. Superhero shitty dad Arnold? One of Phil Hartman's funnest appearances as Devious Neighbor, and iconic Sinbad. The characters and toys created for this film nailed the 90s-- I still want a Booster figure.
positive · AI labelView post →People who say they like JINGLE ALL THE WAY ironically are fools. That movie is an all time holiday favorite and a genuine joy in my eyes
positive · AI labelView post →Movie a day! Having worked Toys R Us when Tickle Me Elmo came out, this is a horror film. 📽 #Filmsky Jingle All the Way on Letterboxd boxd.it/83y8Fl

neutral · AI labelView post →one thing I don't get about Jingle All The Way is how all the posters and covers of the film edit out Arnold's iconic Giant Headphones its just really confusing?
neutral · AI labelView post →Jingle All The Way is a very fun Christmas movie btw. One of my favorites!!
positive · AI labelView post →- Brüno - 5.9 - The Ringer - 5.8 - MacGruber - 5.5 - Jingle All The Way - 5.6 I'm not gonna defend them as super great movies but I do feel they are underrated by a point. If Bruno dropped before the world saw Borat I think it would have been better recieved.
neutral · AI labelView post →Discord Movie Nights always a vibe and everyone is welcome. We almost done with the first movie, next is Jingle All The Way.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m not watching “Jingle All The Way” ironically, I genuinely enjoy this movie
positive · AI labelView post →Jingle All the Way Mostly just a serviceably fun movie about a bad dad who commits like 50 crimes a minute and the worst punishment he gets is a speeding ticket. But the last stretch was actually really good, and Arnold playing the role of the protagonist is just inherently funny.
neutral · AI labelView post →134) Jingle All the Way Not at all a good movie but I had a real hoot and a holler with it! Even if the tone veered wildly by the end and turned into Iron Man for some reason? Yeah sure man turn Arnie into CGI and give him a jetpack whatever happy holidays
neutral · AI labelView post →True Lies is a Christmas movie (has Arnold Schwarzenegger who is best known for Jingle All The Way)
neutral · AI labelView post →So, this evening we watched Jingle All the Way, but it was a little different. We watched Jingle All the Kaye. What started as an exercise of "could I edit the cop out of the movie when he gets exploded" went... wilder than anticipated. Peep the @stickyhunter.bsky.social art for our viewing too!
positive · AI labelView post →It's weird. Jingle All The Way is a complete mess of a film, but the scene in the diner where Arnold and Sinbad just talk to each other before things get crazy again is a pretty poignant scene.

neutral · AI labelView post →Theres something so sad and uninteresting about that one person who thinks they are that Solar Opposites episode that rags on Jingle All The Way (a fun movie, btw). Its funny to watch someone else rip that film apart on TV, but no one needs that guy in real-life. Sometimes a movie can be just fine.
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching Jingle All the Way and the movie going full on American tokusatsu will forever be one of the coolest things this movie has done.
