163. Klaus - This Just In/Christmas 2020 (#176)




The 250 show

Summary: Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, The 250 is a fortnightly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. This time, a belated Christmas treat. Sergio Pablos and Carlos Martínez López's Klaus. Exiled to the remote island of Smeerensberg, postal employee Jesper comes up with an elaborate plan to inspire the locals to write the six thousand letters that he'll need to earn back his life of luxury. However, Jesper doesn't count on the ways in which he'll change the lives of the island's inhabitants, including a lonely and isolated woodsman named Klaus who makes children's toys. At time of recording, it was ranked the 176th best movie of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
