Movies you only watch at Christmas

[Rupertgrintismyguiltypleasure]

What’s some movies or a movie (non Christmas) that you only watch at Christmas
for me when I was a kid I always remember watching these around Christmas and new year.
bedknobs and broomsticks
Mary poppins (Julie Andrew’s version)
chitty chitty bang bang
Forrest gump
matilda

I always watch Harry Potter 1-8 on the week running up to Christmas, I also watch this during the year aswell but always have to watch at Christmas.

It's A Wonderful Life
Paddington
Paddington 2

Wizard of Oz

That’s another one 😜 I haven’t watched it for a few years though.

Not a film, but we always watch The Box of Delights in the run-up to Christmas. It's like watching films though, because we usually watch the whole series in 2 sittings!

Oliver!
Die Hard
LOTR extended edition trilogy

Planes trains and automobiles

Mine is My Beautiful Son (AKA Strange Relations) starring Paul Reiser as a Jewish New Yorker who finds out that he was adopted and is the illegitimate son of a Catholic scouser, played beautifully by Julie Walters. As an adoptee it means a lot to me and on the Christmas days I spent alone it was a great comfort.

Also Drop Dead Fred, strangely for similar reasons!!

Love Actually
Elf
Die Hard

Every year without fail!

Original Annie for me when I was little - ahh the memories

Christmas movie wise absolutely have to watch Scrooged and Christmas with the Kranks without fail

Home alone 1&2

Willy wonka (with a dairy milk little bar) as that's what I did as a child.
planes trains and automobiles - I could watch this at other times but I save it for Christmas!
I used to watch miracle on 34 th street but I don't want the children to watch and ask questions - might wait until they are in their 20's!! 😂

I always start watching the Harry potters mid November. I totally think of them as Christmas films!

Willy wonka is another one...

Oliver
Chitty Chitty Bang bang
The Great Escape
The sound of music
The wizard of oz
Bedknobs and Broomsticks

They remind me of my childhood. They were on every year 🤣

Die Hard is the added one..

Exactly, they were always on in the week between Christmas and new year... I still have perfect memories of that time. It’s the one time of year that I hate change 🥺

I've never seen Die Hard. I want to watch it this year. Has anyone seen Love Hard? Very cute Christmas rom-com with lots of Die Hard references that I didn't get.

Finally watched Elf last year but that actor gives me the creeps, so didn't enjoy it.

I make the family (males) watch Bridget Jones I only get one shot a year

Ooh, I love these types of threads! Here's mine:
Home Alone
Murder on the Orient Express (1974 version)
The Holiday
A Christmas Carol (1984)
A Muppet Christmas Carol
Scrooged
The Nativity BBC 2010, not so much a film but it was a four part drama when aired, but when you watch the DVD it's obviously like a film.

@Fairislefandango Do you have this on DVD? I loved this and The Children of Green Knowe as a child. They always signalled that Christmas was coming.

Gone with the wind
Carry on films
It's a wonderful life
Home alone
National Lampoon Christmas
Gremlins
Scrooged
Trading Places

I forgot to add National Lampoon Christmas!

Die hard and bad Santa.

Does anybody remember Digby, the Biggest Dog in the World ? I used to love watching that at Christmas!
Also always used to watch Wizard of Oz. Now it's probably Christmas with the Kranks and National Lampoons.

Everyone is just listing Christmas films...

I don't have any non-christmassy films I watch every year.
I was unfortunate enough to see Oliver! 2 years in a row when over at ILs though.
