Santa Clause the Movie is the best Christmas movie of all time

[AllHisCaterpillarFriends]

Do you watch it with your kids?

Mine are grown and I've just put it on as it's free (sort of, bloody adverts) on Amazon Prime which made me think no one must watch it (The Grinch was free last weekend but pay to view now)

It has everything, magic, hope, terror, fantasy, and a happy ending.

I think it is everything christmassy

Our family's favourite is the polar express. We watch it every year after putting up the Christmas tree

It's definitely one of my favourites still. Reminds me of my childhood Christmas.

We watch it every year

Which version? The one with Tim Allen is good but the whole divorce story is a bit boring / dragged out we find

It's my personal childhood favourite, I watched it every year growing up (and still try to) however it seems to get awful reviews any time it's advertised John Lithgow's character alone makes it worth watching for me.

But you're absolutely right it's so comforting and magical. I'll always have a place in my heart for it! 🎄

This is correct OP. The tension of whether they will do the super duper looper is unsurpassed. And you can never go wrong with John Lithgow

🤣🤣

Wrong. The Muppets CC is the best Christmas movie!! 😂

Shout out to Daisy from Keeping Up Appearances as the definitive Mrs Claus ❤️

Oh it's my all time fave, and I have introduced it to my children, it's not a fave of theirs.....yet, but I will continue to try haha!

Last night we popped on Home Alone and I watched it through my children's eyes the traps/pranks brought them pure giggles haha and they both seemed really cornered that Kevin wouldn't get his family back! Lovely!

No the 1985 with Dudley Moore and John Lithgow. No boring divorce here!

Id have that as a very respectable 2nd. I'm watching that next

Indeed.

And from your user name I expect we have other TV programmes in common.

It's my favourite modern Christmas movie.

It's a Wonderful Life is my favourite old film.

A Christmas Story is definitely worth a watch.

Muppets Christmas Carol for me, I will never tire of watching it

I don’t really remember this one. Might put it on my list to watch this year.

I love this film for nostalgia purposes. However my dad (who is a bit eccentric) didn't like the second half once the elf goes to New York and sells the magic dust so he cut off the video recording before it got to that bit so until I was an adult I had no idea it had a second half!

My favourite modern Christmas film is Klaus on Netflix. It's beautiful.

It has to be Home Alone for me, but I like most Christmas films.

The scene where the doors to the toy room are opened brings back so many nostalgic memories of watching it as a kid

Home Alone is the best Christmas movie, followed closely by Prancer, but Santa Clause the movie is up there too!

Definitely peak Christmas! I'm always surprised it's not more well known. The beginning sequence is etched in my brain. I always really wanted Mr and Mrs Claus's bed, it looks so cosy.

It's one of mine! Reminds me of being a kid. My children don't like it though!

That made me laugh more than I should have.

As a child I never wanted Patch to leave and always wanted to skip that part so I think your dad is great .

Glad to see love for the Muppets, also a fabulous film.

Interesting reading that kids today don't love it, tastes change, just reminds me so much if childhood and childhood magic.

It's one of the only Christmas films I've never really got. Will try again

Well I'm watching Deck the Halls now as it autostarted and is sort of free.

Trying to do a proper clean/declutter of the downstairs rooms ready to get out the decorations.
