Anyone suggest any nice christmassy romcoms to watch - not cheesy hallmarks (which I also love, but not looking for that right now). Am thinking things like The Holiday and Love Actually.
Thanks

Second this. Rewatched last week for the first time since seeing it the cinema when it came out. Still hilarious and poignant.

NOEL

My all time Christmas film.
The 2004 movie Noel is a drama about . The interwoven stories include a woman (Susan Sarandon) struggling with her mother's Alzheimer's, a couple (Penelope Cruz and Paul Walker) on the verge of breaking their engagement, a mysterious man (Robin Williams) who saves the first woman, and a lonely waiter (Alan Arkin) who believes he sees his dead wife in the policeman.

Also going to say The Family Stone

Onemorestepalongtheroad · 02/12/2025 19:09

Also Family Man. Not sure if it’s technically RomCom but we watch it every Christmas

JenniferBooth · 02/12/2025 19:31

Ive not seen it myself but last month both Red magazine and the Mirror recommended The Bishops Wife which The Preachers Wife is a remake of.

Channel 52 on Freeview back to back Xmas films DW is an Xmas film nut.

The Family Stone with Diane Keaton, SKP and Claire Danes. Love it!

I just watched this! Totally improbable of course, but decent actors) and just generally fairly well done for a cheesy Christmas movie

TheAverageJoanne · 03/12/2025 07:03

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Serendipity. Fab soundtrack too.

I love the Die Hard films but they're not romcoms!

Man Up
Last Christmas

Man Up
Last Christmas

You beat me to it with "Man Up". Excellent film.

lxn889121 · 04/12/2025 04:28

If you are ok with older films -

Remember the Night - is an absolute favorite of mine. Touching, romantic, and the Christmas part is really sweet.

Also

Christmas in Connecticut
The Bishop’s Wife
Holiday Inn (lots of signing and dancing, but a very sweet romantic plot as well + first film to feature "White Christmas"
