The Best Christmas Day for Movies in a Generation — What are you going to see?

So many movies already open, opening or opening in limited release this Christmas. The fact that you don’t have to limit yourself to a “Sonic,”“Gladiator” or “Moana” sequel, a musical suffering from elephantiasis or a “Lion King” prequel should be a cause for celebration.

Not a big one, just a “Thank heavens for small mercies” one.

Are you seeing “Babygirl” today, or “Nosferatu?” That’s what I’m getting around to.

“Queer” is outstanding, the Dylan picture “A Complete Unknown” is a Dylan fan and film fan’s delight, “The Fire Inside” is pretty good and “The Brutalist” is playing in select cities.

There have been years when only one or two titles rolled out on Christmas, and most years, they weren’t “The Godfather.”

But with a musical adaptation, two musical Disney animations, grown up films and “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” here to give Judy Greer her biggest big screen hit ever, there’s no excuse for staying home on the holiday. None.
