6. #39: Santa Claus: The Movie
The Thing: Why are John Lithgow and Roy Scheider in so many of these? This is a Lithgow movie. I absolutely love the title of this thing. It's not just a Santa Claus movie. It's Santa Claus: THE MOVIE. The film tells a dual time period story, half about Santa coming up and finding his destiny, and the other half about one of his elves trying to use his toy making abilities for his own gain in the present.
As far as Christmas movies go, it was a financial failure, and one of those famous bad Christmas movies. It's not a Santa Clause movie, so at least there's that, I guess?
The Comic: As far as Santa comics go, it's not the best. The DC Comics Christmas specials are better, as is that DC Comics Presents with Santa in it.
I have yet to read Grant Morrison and Dan Mora's Klaus, but I've heard it's rad as hell, so I'm going to assume it's also better.
