Santa Claus

Perhaps the strangest film about Santa I have seen. Outer space, the devil and It's a Small World all combined into one very odd yet funny film. I recommend drinking strong eggnog while watching.

"The film was considered to be a financial success over several holiday season theatrical releases in the 1960s and 1970s. Broadcast of the film also became a holiday tradition at several U.S. television stations. The film garnered at least one award, winning the Golden Gate Award for Best International Family Film at the San Francisco International Film Festival in 1959. "

I would have to have seriously nothing to do for days before I'd commit time to watching this, but I'm sure it's funny in the same way as Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!

--------------------------

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes has become a cult film.[9] A number of sequels and other spin-off material have been done in various media as a result of this movie. They include three movie sequels:

Return of the Killer Tomatoes! (1988)
Killer Tomatoes Strike Back! (1990)
Killer Tomatoes Eat France! (1991)

The sequel Return of the Killer Tomatoes picks up the story 10 years later. The film is notable for the casting of George Clooney in one of his first film roles.
