As part of my festivities, I want to watch 10 Christmas movies in Dec. A mixture of adult and children's favourites. What would you add to the list?

I usually watch It’s a Wonderful Life and Love Actually. DH and I watch Die Hard together (deffo a Christmas film!). Kids like Arthur Christmas and more recently A Boy Called Christmas. The Snowman too.

Also Home Alone

I like old, romantic Christmas movies.

these are from the 1940s and are outstanding:

Remember the Night
Holiday Affair
The Bishop's Wife
Christmas in Connecticut
The Shop Around the Corner
I'll Be Seeing You
Bundle of Joy

Another Barbara Stanwyck film that isn't a Christmas movie but has an important climax at Christmas is called My Reputation.

From the early 60s (I think) is The Apartment with Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine; not a Christmas movie per se but is set in the season and has a lot of Christmas going on. One of my all-time favorite films.

The Clive Donner version of A Christmas Carol starring George C. Scott is my favorite.

There's a 1990s-ish version called Ebbie starring Susan Lucas (?) that I find amusing and sweet.

Arthur Christmas. I generally watch it on my own. Can't wait till the DC is old enough to watch it with me.

Justhereforthechristmasthreads · 27/11/2022 20:18

Santa Claus: The Movie and Miracle on 34th Street are my two must watches but we usually watch lots between now and Christmas Eve

We always watch Rise of the Guardians in the run up to Christmas, it isn't a Christmas film but it definitely is at the same time!

HippyChickMama · 27/11/2022 20:24

Also, if you don't mind some horror, Krampus and Black Christmas (the original with Margot Kidder
