Best family Christmas movies? Family with two hard-to-please cynical teenagers!

[thedevilwithbarty]

Anyone got any recommendations for Christmas movies that are actually good? I have one 17yo who sees himself as a world-weary intellectual and likes old films, clever satire etc, and one 16yo who likes more anarchic, edgy humour, would happily watch the Family Guy Christmas episodes non-stop and thinks his brother is a ponce . He also likes Home Alone but D1 curled his lip at that suggestion.

DH and I like soppy heart-warming stuff as well (we like Love Actually and Nativity) but we'll go with anything really

All suggestions gratefully received!

Second vote for Elf..
It's a classic

^No it is not

What about Krampus?

The Grinch Christmas movie from last year was very good and enjoyed by the teens.

Me-elf
Dh-die hard
Family - national lampoon Christmas vacation

Trains, planes and automobiles

Another vote for National Lampoon’s.

Another vote for Elf (we also have it on every year)
Uncle Buck (because John Candy was always brilliant and funny!)

Set at Christmas:

The Sure Thing - John Cusack rom com
Hardware - post apocalypse sci-fi horror

Die Hard is not a Christmas movie 😉
Bad Santa
My favourite Deck the Halls

Gremlins

Nice to see that someone else loves The Family Stone, and Christmas with the Kranks is my guilty pleasure. Surely even teens love A Muppet Christmas Carol.

Aww, uncle buck. Loved that film.

Bad news re bad Santa 2. It’s not free on sky. Yet anyway.

I was gutted that the rocky horror show wasn’t on sky again this Halloween and now this tragedy. What fresh hell is this.
Well that’s my good mood over...

The Christmas Chronicles on netflix, Kurt Russell makes a very hot santa
