In the list of all-time Christmas movies, one that always gets overlooked is Doug Liman’s Go. Wait—how is Go a Christmas movie, you might be asking? Well, despite not being a movie about Christmas per se, it actually all takes place over one VERY eventful Christmas Eve in Los Angeles, with the film revolving around a couple of loosely connected groups as they share a somewhat seedy holiday. There are two grocery store clerks looking to score by selling ecstasy pills at a Christmas rave, a group of bros who head to Vegas to make trouble, two gay actors working a sting with a cop, and more. It barely made a dime in theaters, but it proved to be a great kickoff to what would later emerge as one of the greatest years in modern cinema history: 1999.
