Suggestions for 80s film to watch Christmas eve

It's our tradition to slob out in front of an 80s film on Christmas eve, once the kids are asleep and the wrapping is done. What shall we watch this year? Last year was Scrooged, year before was Clue. Doesn't have to be Christmas themed but it has to be from the 80s!

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

Or any of the National Lampoon films.

Yes, Trading Places or Die Hard for double bubble!

gnomeisland · 13/12/2018 10:06

Sleeping that would be Legend.
How about Labyrinth (David Bowie), Willow, or Time Bandits, The Dark Crystal, Company of Wolves, or Highlander?

SleepingStandingUp · 13/12/2018 10:10

Yes Legend, thanks

gnomeisland · 13/12/2018 10:16

Beetlegeuse, Mermaids, or Edward Scissorhands (released in 1990 - but definitely 80s in spirit)

my favourite is When Harry Met Sally - bits of it are Christmassy

Drum2018 · 13/12/2018 18:22

Has to be National Lampoons Christmas Vacation - 1989 film. Watch it with the older kids every year and still laugh every time.

sueelleker · 13/12/2018 20:50

Santa Claus The Movie-Christmas and 80's in one.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/12/2018 21:02

Got to be Gremlins.
