It's not that there aren't any Hanukkah movies out there during the holiday movie season, but just for fun, you might run through your listings and see how many you can find. Clicker.blog even has a joke list of the top 10 Hanukkah movies -- and it's blank. A couple of movies are mentioned there, however,including Adam Sandler's 8 Crazy Nights, Rugrats Chanukah and The Best Christmukkah Ever. I have seen the Rugrats one, natch, but I am not an Adam Sadler fan and have no idea about the Christmukkah one, except that it is an episode of the 2003-2007 television series The O.C.
A few years ago, we ran across this Disney Channel made-for-tv movie, about a basketball team at a Philadelphia Jewish school, who get help from a professional player who is in a personal slump. Tom looks for it every year now. (I think it is not so much that he likes the movie, he just likes the fact that there is at least one!) In case you want to watch it, I want add any spoilers, but it does bring in the Hanukkah miracle of lights for a truly Dinsey-esque ending.
