3 showings of "Elf."
2 showings each of "Arthur Christmas" and the Illumination version the Grinch.
And not a single showing "Die Hard."

...this may actually beat out Stephen King's salmon Tweet for "thanks, but no."

Actually, no. King still wins because yours doesn't make my microwave stink of fish.
A Tweet from Stephen King in April of 2022. The tweet reads: "Dinner: Get a nice salmon filet at the supermarket, not too big. Put some olive oil and lemon juice on it/ Wrap it in damp paper towels. Nuke it in the microwave for 3 minute or so. Eat it. Maybe add a salad."

One obvious choice: "Good Will Hunting."

And two (to my mind) highly underrated choices: "Death to Smoochy" and "One Hour Photo."
DVD cover for the 2002 film "Death to Smoochy." The cover depicts Robin Williams as children's entertainer Rainbow Randolph, clad in a rainbow-colored suit jacket, wearing a white hat. He is holding Sheldon Mopes, (Edward Norton), in a loose choke hold. Norton is wearing the pink rhino costume of the titular children's entertainer Smoochy. Theatrical poster for the 1997 film "Good Will Hunting." The poster depicts Matt Damon as Will Hunting, sitting beside Dr. Sean Maguire (Robin Williams). The film's tagline is between the two, reading: "Wildly charismatic. Impossibly brilliant. Totally rebellious. For the first 20 years of his life, Will Hunting has called the shots. Now he's about to meet his match." The film's title, beneath the pair, is underlined in gold, with a shamrock in the middle. The film's supporting cast is listed beneath: Ben Affleck, Minnie Driver and Stellan Skarsgard. Theatrical poster for the 2002 film "One Hour Photo." The poster depicts Robin Williams as photo technician Seymour "Sy" Parrish, wearing white gloves, a white shirt with a blue tie and glasses, looking at an undeveloped spool of film.
