Is there a movie you rewatch every December?

not your typical holiday movie list.

The sun currently sets at 4.30pm in Los Angeles which has really been testing my brain in terms of serotonin production. Movies to the rescue.

There are some movies that I associate so strongly with December - gloomy but festive, uneasy but strangely hopeful. I love a joyful holiday classic as much as the next person but there’s something to be said about the unlikely stories I return to for comfort during this time of year. David Fincher movies are top of that list for me, I rewatch Zodiac and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo pretty much every December. Something about the icy color palette, desolate locations and unstable characters - maybe they make the real world seem brighter in contrast?

Everyone’s definition of a “December movie” is different, so I asked some friends to share their favorites. Enjoy.
