What’s your favourite Christmas film?

[thelegohooverer]

I haven’t really watched many Christmas movies and I have a feeling we’ll end up filling the evenings with movie nights this year. Would love to hear your recommendations

I am the least sentimental person but love Christmas movies

Among my favourites are

The family man
Die hard - yes it’s a Christmas film, the first 2 are!
Trading places
Deck the halls
Four Christmases
The family stone
Elf
Muppet Christmas carol
Scrooged (bill Murray)
Jingle all the way
Love actually
The Santa clause
Gremlins
The long kiss goodnight
While you were sleeping
On moonlight bay (obscure Doris day)

If anyone can tell me where I can stream
The family man
The long kiss goodnight

I shall be eternally grateful!

But - I absolutely cannot STAND it’s a wonderful life

The Family Stone

Jack Frost! I also like love actually.

Black Christmas, the original 1970s one, we watch it every year (disclaimer: NOT suitable for children)

Muppet Christmas Carol
Home Alone
Krampus
Elf
Nightmare Before Christmas

Muppets Christmas Carol
The Christmas Chronicles
Christmas with the Kranks
Snow Bride (cheesy Hallmark movie)
The Christmas Card (Hallmark again)

Due Hard
Muppets
Scrooged
Gremlins.

Others I can take or leave, hate Arthur Christmas and Elf - it's quotable , but actually painful to watch.

Polar Express is watchable but creepy, a bit Uncanny Valley for me.

Nightmare Before Christmas we love, but watch at Halloween. I did make NBC tree decs one year, Zero is especially cute

Trading places
Die hard
Muppets Christmas carol
Santa Claus the movie
Scrooged
Klaus

Any cheesey rubbish by Hallmark which usually involves a widower with a cute kid and a lodge that needs renovated falling for a city girl with a disappointing boyfriend

The Crunch, animated and Jim Carey
Elf
Nightmare Before Christmas
Harry Potter 1 - 3 :)

Ahah the Crunch, fgs, the Grinch!

Die Hard.
And Barbie: A perfect Christmas. We watched it with dd when she was younger and it's kind of a thing in our house.
It's a Wonderful Life
Arthur Christmas

I have SO MANY

Polar Express
Miracle on 34th Street
Christmas Carol (Disney version)
Jingle all the way
PranceR
Home alone 1 and 3

How did it take until page 2 for National Lampoons Christmas vacation to get a mention

Home Alone
It’s a Wonderful Life
White Christmas
Arthur Christmas
Elf

I thought I’d love Polar Express but didn’t enjoy it at all.

Love the first Die Hard!

A Christmas princess
Home alone
Elf
And not necessarily a Christmas movie but Santa makes an appearance so Lion the witch and the wardrobe

DH loves Christmas With The Ktanks ( he has a thing for Jamie Lee Curtis )
and Bad Santa ( but it makes me feel queasy )

This year I want to dig out The Box of Delights - I think it's a series ?
