Help me choose a film for us to watch together as a family on Xmas eve - 2 adult DS's, 18 and 20.

Previously we have all enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocket Man ... please recommend something with a similar upbeat, feel good factor.

Thank you.

Ah yes, had forgotten about Yesterday - great idea, thanks.

Seen the Greatest Showman and wasn't very keen ...

My kids are a bit old for Aladdin Grin but I hope you enjoy it.

No one's going to say it? Really?

DIE HARD Xmas Grin

bigbubbles · 21/12/2019 17:22

I was just about to say Die Hard - the only adult Christmas movie

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 21/12/2019 17:39

Jumanji is on Netflix. It's great.

Strictly1972 · 21/12/2019 17:41

Ohh I’m working my way through Xmas films on my own as my kids are too busy doing their own stuff. I’m so going to watch die hard after home alone. Watching the new lion king today.

Hadenoughofitall441 · 21/12/2019 23:07

Every Christmas Eve since I was about 9 I’ve watched the nightmare before Christmas. I refuse to watch any other movie on Christmas eve

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 21/12/2019 23:42

Another vote for Die Hard. DH and I watch it every Christmas Eve once the kids are in bed.

70sWitch · 22/12/2019 11:47

Nightmare before Christmas is also a valid choice 👍

LEELULUMPKIN · 22/12/2019 15:11

It's the Muppet's Christmas Carol in this house.

Squirrelblanket · 22/12/2019 17:14

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!

halocompanach · 22/12/2019 17:16

Place marking as we need something different as the DCs have outgrown what we used to watch.

Waterandlemonjuice · 22/12/2019 17:20

Hunt for the Wilderpeople is great, funny

www.imdb.com/title/tt4698684/

Paddington 1 or 2

Christmas chronicles is funny and Kurt Russell is a swoony Santa

Waterandlemonjuice · 22/12/2019 17:21

Jumanji is also great

Stevienickssleeves · 22/12/2019 17:22

National lampoon christmas vacation!

My kids are a bit old for Aladdin

I’m in my 30s and LOVE Aladdin!!

I loved rocket man and BR but did you all feel a bit awkward watching the sex scenes....?

Freshprincess · 22/12/2019 17:28

Marking my place for some ideas. We've watched Die hard two years in a row and want to have some alternatives up my sleeve before I'm outvoted and we watch Die Hard again.

sakura06 · 22/12/2019 17:31

Blinded by the Light and Yesterday were both a bit disappointing to be honest! If you're especially big fans of the Beatles or Springsteen, you might enjoy.
