I'll start - Trading Places
Enemy of the State? Set at Christmas but very un-Christmassy...

Babette's Feast

@Cakey46 have you seen they’re showing the first Harry Potter film in the great hall at Harry Potter world? It’s eyewateringly expensive mind...

I really like a few TV Specials - the good life where Margot sends everything back because the tree is 6 inches too short, peep show where they undercook the turkey and shred the ham, the royle family where they do the mingling with some blue wkd and a banana.

I also like the one off show from a couple of years ago with Stephen merchant and him from people just do nothing where they travel across the country on Christmas Eve to buy a toy unicorn.

Not a film, but the BBC series Dickensian has become a December ritual here.

As a total aside, there is a hotel in Menton which can serve a Babette’s Feast menu for groups of diners.

The Bishop’s Wife with Cary Grant and David Niven.

Chitty chitty bang bang, wizard if Oz, vicar of Dibley, Morecambe and wise, only fools and horses, lord of the rings- take me back to my childhood Christmases and complete Christmas for me!

Eyes Wide Shut was the most unexpected Christmassy film I've seen. Fairy lights and Christmas trees all over the place, and it's so beautifully shot - the colours are all so vivid and gorgeous.

While you were sleeping is very Christmassy
