Whats your favourite festive movies???

[BabyDubsEverywhere]

Ive done so well this year and held off longer than ever before, but with the pants weather and it looking all dark outside, i have started watching my christmas movies

Just watched Elf and Santa who and the Simpsons Christmas Specials, Got Jingle all the way on now, large collection to go through, but about to click away on amazon for a few to add to the collection.

So, give me some inspiration, whats your favourite Christmas movie?

miracle on 34th street and the muppets christmas carol

Love most of them. We all really enjoyed Nativity at the cinema last christmas, so I'll be buying that when I see it in the shops.

I love The national lampoons christmas vacation, Deck the halls and more recently Fred claus.

National Lampoons Christmas vacation
Santa Claus the Movie
Miracle on 34th Street
Elf
The Snowman
The Nightmare before Christmas

I love Christmas films!

It's a wonderful life

Miracle on 34th Street

Noel - a new one I picked up last year for £3 - basically a slightly sad, adult, slow film about love and loneliness - set around Christmas

National Lampoons for sure. Actually watched it the other day!

I also love Home Alone, Gremlins, Scrooge, Christmas with the Kranks, Elf and One Of My Dinosaurs is Missing - as I AWLAYS remember this being on TV on Christmas Eve morning...

I'm going back to Uk for Christmas (live abroad) and DH is not coming with me - as he needs to save leave for when I give birth in late Jan - so I am planning on taking all the good christmas movies back to Uk and sitting at my mums and watchign them!

(my mum will LOVE that! NOT!) :)

PS. I think MN need to do a little Christmas smiley face...!

You're watching them now? Ban on Christmas films until December in this house. DD is even saving her "Daisy and the Trouble with Christmas" book until then.

But, since you asked:

It's a wonderful life
Miracle on 34th Street (both versions!)
A Christmas Carol (or is it called Scrooge? (the Alastair Sim one anyway)
White Christmas
Trading Places (but not for the children!!)

Miracle on 34th St. (original version)
It's a wonderful life
All I want for Christmas (super cheesy,but I love it!)
Muppets Christmas Carol
Scrooged
Meet Me in St Louis
Santa Claus The Movie
Die Hard 2 for DH!

I love Christmas films

I watched one last year called The Family Stone with Sarah Jessica Parker and a host of others in it. It was actually quite good.

I think you all want a good talking to for even mentioning the C word, and all chocolate confiscated.
But I have to say National Lampoon's gets my vote.

I love it!

Sadly there were lots more, but have been lent out and never returned, sure they are trying to dampen my christmas spirit - dont worry, i didnt work

Oh and National Lampoons, Christmas with the kranks, Gremlins, and DH bought me my absolute number 1 a few year ago, the original Grinch who stole Christmas Cartoon from the 60's - fan-christmas-tastic!

I love family stone - such a good movie. Actually watching that one year in October made me book flights home to my mum's for Christmas!

Holiday Inn (White Christmas) BEST christmas film ever

I love home alone 1&2 always makes me feel really christmassy watching them

Our DVD cabinet is chock-full of children's christmas movies so there are so many to choose from. Love The Grinch, the Home Alone's, Elf etc. As for myself, I watched Four Christmases last night (hadn't seen it before and forgot I bought it a while ago) and found it pretty funny with a great cast. My favourites have to be 'The Holiday' - just feels nice and National Lampoon never gets old. Deck The Halls and Christmas with the Kranks were also funnier than I had expected.

WE pack them away with the Christmas carol CDs in a big trunk with the decorations. But then I get my tree on the first weekend in December so we do have them in good time.

I like the Santa Clause ones, not sure why
Muppets Christmas
Elf
Santa Claus the Movie
Shrek the Halls (not my fave but popular here)

What's four Christmasses, any good?

We also have an episode of Dora the Explorer with the creepiest Mexican Santa EVER. Anyon seen it?

It's a wonderful life

hang on, it's AUGUST!

A bit too early for me to start watching yet, but mine are (in no particular order!)

Santa Claus The Movie
Elf
Christmas with the Kranks
The Santa Clause 1, 2 & 3
Love Actually
Miracle on 34th Street
Jingle All the Way

I also want to see - Nativity, Fred Claus, Polar Express, Four Christmasas

I always end up complaining that I never get to watch all my Christmas films in time for Christmas, so maybe this year I will start a little earlier!

Its the end of august!

Only 118 days hohoho

Polar Express is the best ever xmas movie imo

Edward Scissorhands

I LOVE 'The Holiday' cheesy shite but it makes me feel all Christmassy (and i lived near where it was filmed and got to see Jude and Cam in RL

Its nearly September and i adore this time of year, all Autumnal and Halloween, Guy Fawkes ect ...

National Lampoons for sure, the scene where the squirrel jumps out of the Christmas tree makes me nearly wet myself laughing every time I watching.

Elf too, just brilliant.

And i'm someone who hates Christmas!!
