(SOMETIMES NONTRADITIONAL or LONG FORGOTTEN) CHRISTMAS MOVIE COUNTDOWN: #6
Blast from the Past: Christmas underground in a fallout bunker while staying down there for *years* because you thought there was nuclear annihilation up top? Yes please! Sure, there’s just one Christmas scene, but that qualifies and I love telling people about this funny and clever movie. And the star power! Brendan Fraser, Christopher Walken, Sissy Spacek, Alicia Silverstone!
“Adam Webber (Brendan Fraser) has lived his entire life in confinement in a fallout shelter in Pasadena, Calif. When the Webber family’s rations of food and supplies grow thin, Adam’s eccentric father, Calvin (Christopher Walken), sends him on a dangerous restocking mission. When Adam emerges from the Webber family’s subterranean refuge for the first time, he finds that rumors of a nuclear apocalypse were totally false — and meets gorgeous Eve Rustikov (Alicia Silverstone).”
