15 Christmas Movies You Definitely Shouldn't Watch With Your Family ...Middle East

The naughty Christmas movie is a venerable sub-genre, going back at least as far as 1974's Black Christmas, a movie that scandalized audiences with the dual ideas that not only are people super horny during the holidays, they also are occasionally contemplating murder. Black Christmas does not make our list of Christmas movies to avoid watching with your family because you should absolutely watch Black Christmas with your family: Everyone needs to understand the dangers of sorority house slashers during the holiday season. Meanwhile, there’s a new David Harbour-starring action-comedy about the literal Santa Claus fighting off hostage-taking mercenaries that you definitely don’t want to try to explain to your Aunt Carol (who is, let's face it, exhausting).

Here are more movies that are best watched after the kids and/or Grandma have gone to bed—which isn’t to assume Grandma is uncool, only that you might not want to sit around after Christmas dinner watching Eyes Wide Shut with her.

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

Though I’d generally suggest not watching Eyes Wide Shut with the family at any time of year, Tom Cruise’s erotic journey through the holiday season might actually be an effective way to clear the house of stray aunties, uncles, and assorted other relatives who might have been preferred some sort of football situation to a depressing masked orgy. You can stream Eyes Wide Shut on Paramount+ or rent it from Prime Video.

Tangerine (2015)

On this particular Christmas Eve in Hollywood, Sin-Dee Rella (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez), a trans sex worker fresh out of jail, learns that her boyfriend has been cheating on her while she was away. She enlists a couple of friends on a mission to find and confront the one-time pimp. Though it’s utterly delightful, with some of the beats of an old-school girlfriend/buddy comedy, the language and adult-ish situations mean it’s probably not meant for the littlest ones (A Kid Like Jake, while not as good a movie as Tangerine, works pretty well if you’re looking for something trans- and enby-friendly that you could safely watch with the family). You can stream Tangerine on Netflix, Hulu, Tubi, Pluto TV, and Kanopy or rent it from Prime Video.

The Apartment (1960)

This one’s less overtly filthy than many other movies on this list—more appropriately categorized as a sex farce or even a romantic comedy than anything particularly raunchy. But it’s nonetheless about an insurance clerk (Jack Lemmon) who loans out his apartment to his bosses for their various extramarital affairs while falling for the elevator operator (Shirley MacLaine) who's sleeping with his boss. Kids probably wouldn’t get it anyway, but it’s definitely not Miracle on 34th Street-level wholesome. You can stream The Apartment on Tubi, Freevee, and Prime Video.

A Bad Moms Christmas (2017)

The already-solid core cast of Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn gained strength with the addition of Susan Sarandon, Christine Baranski and Cheryl Hines for this Bad Moms sequel, taking things to a whole other level. It arrived just over a year after the first movie, giving it a bit of a slapdash feel, but one that works for a raunchy, women-led Christmas comedy. It mostly avoids the salty/sweet balance that made the original a hit, and instead aims right for the sassy jokes surrounding a holiday debacle. You can stream A Bad Moms Christmas on Netflix or rent it from Prime Video.

The Night Before (2015)

What else are you gonna do Christmas Eve other than spend the night with your best friends (Seth Rogan, Anthony Mackie, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt) at something called the Nutcracker Ball? Yeah, sounds awful to me, too. Luckily they’ve got a ton of drugs to get them through the night. If you’re worried about your kids absorbing a message that more or less boiled down to “drugs make things fun and funny,” this is best avoided. There is a slightly weird anti-steroid message here too, though, so I suppose it depends on what you’re most worried about. You can stream The Night Before on Starz or rent it from Prime Video.

The Ref (1994)

Denis Leary crams plenty of adult language into The Ref, but that’s really not the reason (or at least not the only reason) you probably don’t want to watch it with your family. Leary plays a crook who winds up taking a couple (Judy Davis and Kevin Spacey) hostage when a job goes wrong. The joke’s on him, because they’re at each other’s throats every moment. They’re the most bitter, hateful people imaginable, and Leary’s robber/hostage-taker winds up as not only the movie’s most likable character, but also the peacemaker, especially when the rest of the family shows up ...
