18. The Ref (1994)

Swapping horror for black comedy, The Ref stars Dennis Leary (The Amazing Spider-Man) as Gus, a cat burglar who is forced to take a bickering and miserable family hostage on Christmas Eve after his heist goes wrong. Judy Davis (King Lear) and Kevin Spacey (House of Cards) also star as the Chasseur family wife and husband.

As Gus attempts to deal with the Chasseur’s, including all their extended family, he slowly loses his mind and begins to hate the Christmas season itself. It’s a fun one for anyone who can relate to an insufferable family, a lack of marital bliss, and constantly screwing things up, which, at times, is probably all of us.

The Ref is a fabulous look at family during the holidays through the eyes of someone who doesn’t even remotely want to be there. It’s a good time.
