8-Bit Christmas” (2021)

Directed by  Michael Dowse

It was the winter of ’88, Chicago kid Jake Doyle (Winslow Fegley) was fixated in getting his hands on a Nintendo NES-and he knew that his videogame-loathing parents (Steve Zahn, June Diane Raphael) were going to be an impossible sell. As he and his cronies concoct schemes to raise and pool cash to get the precious system, he might wind up with a lesson about the season.

HBO Max released this movie in 2021 and it hit all the feels. It has strong Christmas Story type storytelling vibes. I also dig the retro vibe when looking back to the 80s as part of the adventure story hunting down an NES. It was my first game system as a kid too so this story is awesome. It’s fun, suspenseful, surprising, and more.

We even got a surprise 8-Bit Christmas delivery last year caught on video if you’re interested:
