Anyone know when the christmas movie channels start? I love all the cheesy made for tv films. They're normally about a single man/woman who has suffered some tragedy that means they hate christmas. Then they normally meet lots of inspirational people, fall in love and learn the true meaning of christmas - there's usually some cute kids involved somewhere.

You're missing the best one. It used to be on every year when I was little but they stopped it.

I think it's called Santa clause or the Santa clause. I think Dudley Moore is in it.

An old man is lost in the snow in olden times, discovering he is destined to become the next Santa. The years go by and an elf gets out and gives everyone a lolly sprinkled with the dust that makes the reindeer fly.

There's also the family stone and the nightmare before Christmas.

Definitely Muppet Xmas Carol and It's A Wonderful Life and I second the vote for the grownups to watch Bad Santa which is a really funny film. Would also add White Christmas, the granddaddy of them all. And Frosty The Snowman, which used to be shown every year back in the 70s. Jimmy Durante rocks.

Home Alone: Lost In New York, plus I now really love Christmas with the Kranks. The Holiday is a good adult one too.

Elf is the best, followed by Home Alone but DH always makes us watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, which I moan about but secretly quite enjoy.

There's a lovely one about the reindeer Prancer but not sure what it's called - could be Prancer?Confused

I loved the Snowman and the Snowdog last year.

Also a recent one is The Nativity, it's a comedy with Martin Freeman, funny in a cheesy way but some real laugh-out-loud bits, the kids thought it was hilarious.

And Frozen (disney) is quite Christmassy I suppose what with all the snow.

oh, Elf on a Shelf if you have little ones too.

There's a lovely funny film called Bernard and the Genie, with Alan Cummings, Lenny Henry and Rowan Atkinson. It was on TV years ago but you can get it on YouTube or on Dvd from eBay.
