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

Oh I remember going to the cinema to see this as a little girl. There was an interval and I had an ice cream and a box of smarties. You could only buy the rectangular boxes in the cinemas couldn’t you? I loved it!

Yes, it's my absolute favourite film.

My kids (and I) love the Christmas Chronicles and Home Alone but I've clearly missed out on a lot of Christmas movies. We'll be trying to catch up this year.

It’s a good one. But for me it’s National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. Followed by Home Alone.

We love all three of the Santa Clause movies with Tim Allen, muppets CC, Elf, Polar Express and Deck the Halls is a personal favourite though I don’t really know why. The new one for us is Spirited, first time we saw it it was too long and we didn’t feel the love but for some reason it’s really grown on us and we giggle loads every time someone says Good Afternoon for about a week after watching it.

Me and DH quote the "uh hu, uh hu" John Lithgow but at least once a month. Definitely up there in the top five of Christmas films.

Agree! This is my go to film on Christmas Eve!

Home alone 1 and 2 my ds now 17 used to watch it on a loop even in summer, love christmas vacation its a wonderful life lots of them really
A newish one on netflix my.dd and i watched the last few christmas cluck and collect its brilliant.

Yes! Yes it is!!!!!! Every single part of it is a visual treat, it's my favourite film!!!

Our favourite film is the Great Store in the World with Dervla Kirwan, Peter Capaldi and Brian Blessed.

I absolutely would love to watch this again but I've never seen it on again since I was little?!

We watched this last night. It’s my childhood favourite.

Re The Greatest Store in the World

It's on Youtube

A bit cringy in hindsight (esp Dudley Moore and that rich girl/poor boy storyline) but v nostalgic for me - we watched it every year! I might watch it again today with the kids (who will probably be totally unimpressed with the special effects!

Literally just finished watching it this morning. I have seen it so many times I can basically quote every line. It was one of the few videos we had as a kid (taped off the telly obviously)

Such a great film. Kids these days don't know what they are missing!
