Another classic that is coming to Netflix this holiday season is the movie "Gremlins."

Released in 1984, "Gremlins" is an interesting mix of Christmas and Monster movie. While classified as a horror movie, the effects from the 80's do away with most of the movie's scare factor. It is an interesting title for those looking for something fun and a little different.
