AIBU to ask you all for your favourite Christmas films?

DP and I will be spending the Christmas period on our own and I’m writing a List of Christmas films to watch from tomorrow until probably NYE. What ones would you recommend? (We will probably watch a few films a day - nothing else to do!)

So far we have already watched Home Alone 1 & 2 and Deck the Halls, so have the below on our list:

Miracle on 34th street
Elf
It’s a Wonderful Life
Die Hard (DP insists 😂)
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Christmas with the Kranks
Scrooged

Any of your faves I’ve missed? 🎄🎄🎄

Not necessarily my faves but a few other big ones missed are Home Alone, Mrs Doubtfire and Love Actually ( ps die hard is the ultimate Christmas film)

Oooh Gone with the Wind is a great epic if you have a few hours to spare!! 🥰

Don’t get me started on Laurence of Arabia though...I thought it would never end...not watched it since lol!! 🙄😜

Trading Places
Gremlins

The night before!

I watched The Man Who Invented Christmas earlier, it was on Channel 4. Dan Stevens plays Charles Dickens whilst he is writing A Christmas Carol. It was lovely and had a great cast, it was nice to see a different take on the story.

If you haven’t watched it klaus on Netflix is really good. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Lovely1a2b3c · 20/12/2020 23:06

Definitely agree with your list so far!

I'd add The Muppet Christmas Carol (best Christmas film ever and definitely best version of 'A Christmas Carol'); Krampus; Gremlins (and the second film if you like it) and possibly 'The Holiday'.

We've also watched 'Love Actually' but I know why it's so controversial!

Fred Claus
Last Christmas
Nativity
Nativity 2 & 3 too!
Home Alone
Home Alone 2
The Polar Express

Love and Death, because it has that Prokofiev tune throughout, and there is a scene in the snow.

BluntAndToThePoint80 · 20/12/2020 23:11

Love Trading Places ... def that one.

Gobbycop · 20/12/2020 23:13

All about the die hard.

Notnownotneverever · 20/12/2020 23:14

💯 Santa Claus the Movie starring Dudley Moore.
Also Four Christmases starring Reese Witherspoon is pretty funny.

ThreeLittleBirdz · 04/05/2021 20:22

Fred Clause, Last Christmas, Nativity, White Christmas, The Polar Express, The Holiday & Love Actually!

I'm also a fan of the Channel 4 Christmas movies every year-there's some good ones of Netflix too!
