Christmas movies - sort of

[jo10000]

Who has movies they watch every Christmas that aren't really too Christmasy or classic but they get you in the mood?

For DH and me its:

Serendipity
The American President
You've Got Mail

What are yours?

DH also likes Its a Wonderful Life but he watches that alone because I hate it (waits for outcries...)

Sleepless in seattle.

The Sound of Music 🎶

Wizard of Oz

The Great Escape
Die Hard

Christmas Carol - the one with Patrick Stewart as Scrooge
The Canterville Ghost - the one with Patrick Stewart as Sir Simon.
Detecting a theme here.....

Die hard
and those really cheesy tv Christmas films
There's a channel dedicated to them on freeview, It's called True Christmas and it's channel 62

Every year I watch my Tim Burton box set so the nightmare before Christmas (but that is Christmassy obviously) peewee herman, corpse bride and beetlejuice on Christmas Eve.

Harry Potter films and any kids films with a sense of magic and wonder.

Mary Poppins.

Bedknobs and broomsticks

I once watched `Peep Show night' on channel 4 on Christmas eve.

Super Hans is basically Santa to me now.

Die hard and gremlins.

The Terminal. I love this film.

Podge I love Tim burton films, And watch The Nightmare before Christmas every Christmas eve

How could I forget Gremlins It's one of my favs.
And yes to Harry Potter films they are my guilty pleasure, I love watching them.

Jurassic world

Starts off at Christmas...then its never mentioned again

Grinch , Home alone , and of course Harry Potter a good feel movie
all year round .

Notting Hill.

And every year I take a day off to do the wrapping, install myself in the lounge and watch all three Lord Of The Rings back to back.

Mary poppins. It's just not Christmas until I've watched it.

Big and The Holiday

Always watch these last week of November. Get me in the mood knowing the following weekend I can make way through the Christmas Christmas pile

Die Hard
Love Actually
The Great Escape
Gremlins

PSA Die Hard is on E4 RIGHT NOW!

Ooooh Serendipity for me too!
I also watch Titanic and When Harry Met Sally around winter rather than summer too.

Sparkwood I am watching it on E4 right now I also watched it on E4 on Tuesday

Oh and The Holiday.. I love that film!

The Great Escape is definitely of the season, I remember watching that on boxing day lots. I used to love boxing day as a kid, nothing to do (nothing open) except watch the bbc afternoon movie in pjs and snack on leftovers! Tbh I still do this but the big film isn't such a thing as there are so many channels to choose from now.

PS, I Love You
Star Wars
The Holiday
Shrek
