Elf has to be the best Christmas film ever.

For us it’s The Snowman or The Snowman and the Snowdog although it makes me 😭 we do like Elf too though.

The Grinch (Jim Carey) is my all time favourite!!

No, I don't think Elf is the best. Having said that though I'm finding it hard to decide which one I do think is the best! For me the top ones would probably have to be The Polar Express and The Snowman. Can't think of one that stands out above the rest as being the best though!

The Muppets Christmas Carol, anything else is inferior.

I once read an article that explained the ‘uncanny valley’ phenomenon as the feeling you get seeing all those Tom Hanks in Polar Express - totally agree. Very disturbing film.

Muppet Christmas Carol for the win.

Elf is mediocre at best.

We all watched Noelle on Disney+ yesterday, it’s really good! Even my husband was laughing, and he hates Christmas movie.

@Acrasia

If you’ve not seen the Netflix series The Movies That Made Us, then I can recommend watching the Elf episode. Actually I can recommend them all, the Back to the Future one is incredible. Most of these films were so close to either not being made at all or being something very very different.
Thank you for that. I'm looking forward to seeing this series now, just my cup of tea

Elf is deffo up there. Also National Lampoon, Arthur Christmas, Klaus and Nativity. Love Actually and the Family Stone for grown-ups.
