3 pieces
  1. Better Than You Think

    Jingle All the Way Got a 20% From Critics. It's Better Than You Think

    Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1996 toy-store war was mocked as a cash grab. Thirty years later it's the most honest Christmas movie Hollywood ever made by accident.
  2. Worse Than You Think

    Home Alone Made $476 Million. It's Still a Missing-Child Case With Paint Cans

    The 1990 hit held a box-office record for 21 years. It's also about a family that loses a child, and a child who tortures burglars.
  3. Worse Than You Think

    Mrs. Doubtfire Made $441 Million. It's Still a Custody Fight in a Latex Mask

    Robin Williams is wonderful in Chris Columbus's 1993 hit. The movie around him asks you to cheer a father who spends weeks deceiving his own children.
