Best christmas films?

[Lilypad7]

Looking for some films to watch in the run up to christmas and want to know everyone's favourite...

Home Alone 1 & 2. Always, always makes me laugh and have good Christmassy vibes.

It has to be Elf.

It's funny and sweet without being too schmaltzy.

Muppets Christmas carol ......the best every time

Kids like Elf best
I like Arthur Christmas

I agree with elf i bought it for my christmas eve hamper

The Santa Claus 1, 2 and 3. The ones with Tim Allen. Love them all.

Yy to Elf.

Miracle on 34th Street (or something).

Polar Express
Elf
Nativity

Some good films here, love The Santa Claus!

Definitely Nativity! Love it.

It's a wonderful life

A Muppets Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life are my personal favourites.

Home Alone 1&2
Elf
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation - if they are older
The Santa Clause
Nativity
Polar Express
Muppet Christmas Carol
Jingle All The Way
A Christmas Story
It's a Wonderful Life
Arthur Christmas
Rise of the Guardians
Snow Buddies
Jack Frost
Scrooged - if they are older
A Christmas Carol (if they aren't too small - DS was 7 and ok when he saw it)

Die Hard 1 & 2 for DH & me whilst pressie wrapping.

A Christmas Story!

Santa Claus the movie, the one with Dudley Moore. Its one of my sons favorites, he's 6.

The snowman, both the lovely original and the show on stage. And Raymond Briggs Father Christmas too. The nutcracker, and Disney a Christmas carol from a few years ago. Merry Madagascar though short is good fun too I think

Four Christmases with Vince Vaughan had some v comedy moments

We have a lot of those already mentioned between DVD and DVD recording (am under threats of painful death from dd - 8 - if I ever delete either Home Alone 1 or 2 from the box!).

Includes Polar Express
the Santa Clause 1-4
And loads more

This year, I am hoping to find either on netflix or DVD the Grinch and the Nightmare before Christmas.

santa calus the moveie here too i have it playing hte bbackgrpund for the chrstmasy secenes

I like:-

Santa Claus the Movie
Nativity 1 and 2
Jingle All the Way
Authur Christmas

I really don't see the appeal of Elf, but I'm clearly in the minority...

Also the first Alvin and the Chipmunks is a bit Christmassy. I quite like that.

YYY to all the above and-

Christmas with the Kranks
Deck The Halls (Love Danny De Vito)
A Hobo's Christmas (with Mickey Rooney)
Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium
The Family Man (with Nick Cage)
The Grinch
The Holiday

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is the funniest by far. I went to see Elf at the cinema and the bit when santas sleigh goes up was amazing on the big screen it made us cry.

I used to live in the town where they filmed the Santa Clause, a few years after they filmed it :)

Home Alone is my all time fave, and HA 2 is good for a sequel.
