Christmas film only you have seen?

[MoistVonL]

In our overly-extensive Christmas film collection there are a couple that no one else seems to have heard of - El Camino Christmas about a robbery in a liquor store that goes very wrong from 2017, and the 2003 animated movie Tokyo Godfathers about three homeless guys who find an abandoned newborn.

Does anyone else have a Christmas film other people never seem to have seen?

Christmas is Connecticut is my favourite Christmas film!!! Absolutely brilliant and reminds me of my mum as we used to watch it together every year❤🎄

The Christmas Martian

I wouldn't recommend it though, it's one of the oddest and most weirdly unsettling films I've seen! It's from 1971 and involves a martian called Poo-Flower (who's actually just a creepy man wearing a string skimask over his face) landing his spaceship in Quebec and befriending a brother and sister.

Promoted to Glory - I just came across it many years ago. Kevin Whateley and Lesley Manville. No spoilers… but it was very different with a twist. Set in the world of the Salvation Army. Sounds odd but I found it very Christmassy.

Anyone remember Black Christmas? 70s horror/slasher type film, pretty disturbing for its time and about as un-Christmassy as you can get.

We too have this on vhs. Good film

Yes these, and also Holiday Affair from 1949 and The Bells of St Mary’s from 1945.

I love 'Bernard and the Genie' and have mentioned it on many threads as it seems quite forgotten. It was shown on TV in 1991 and we recorded it, then I managed to get the VHS tape; never seen it on DVD. Often on BritBox or Sky Cinema at Christmas, but never repeated on terrestrial TV.

I have seen all three of these! In fact, watching Holiday Inn with my son this weekend (he's been warned about blackface for Abraham Lincoln's celebration).

I'd forgotten Hardware, I have seen that, @DisplayPurposesOnly .

We weren't very taken with Get Santa, despite stumbling across them when they were filming with fake snow in Harewood House's grounds, @WingingItMam48.

All of my mates have seen Love Hard, it was the go-to Netflix film a few years back, @Bowling4soup . DS and I rewatched it on Tuesday. Your friends are missing out. (Or you need friends with better taste in movies!)

@LittlePotteryBird - agree about Bells of St Mary's! It's a gem of a film.

@TaggieOharasLostBra - I'd also forgotten Metropolitan was a Christmas film; in my head it's all New Years ish. Not seen it in years.

I'm going to look up Christmas Karen and Deck The Heart. Thanks for the (possibly awful) suggestions.

They made a film of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, but we can't bring ourselves to watch it in case it's awful. It's the family's favourite Christmas book,

Oh this traumatised me too!

Update on Deck The Heart - DS2 watched 25 minutes before giving up. He said the male lead looked like what you'd get if you wanted your video game character to look like Michael Fassbinder but you only had 20 minutes.

A 3d printed lead.

Oh I love this film! I had it on VHS too and I did have a dvd but it’s long lost, along with the dvd player.
I was desperate to show it to DC and found it on Apple TV the other day, I was delighted and immediately bought it but we live in Switzerland it was dubbed into German - no English version available! I was SO cross as it’s clearly not the same dubbed and we don’t even live in the German speaking part so couldn’t understand it. One day the kids will get to see it, I’m determined!

I love this too! I’ve watched it every year since it was released! DH has agreed to watch it too this year as I always bang on about it so much 😂

Anna and the apocalypse. A zombie Christmas musical set in a small town in Scotland. What’s not to like?

Rise of the Guardians. We went to see it by chance when it came out - the cinema was empty.

Oh, I remember loving that movie. I haven't seen it in years, will have to rewatch.

Black Christmas (1974) but it is a slasher movie!

Oh me too. It’s always the first Christmas film I watch as near to 1st December as I can.

Last year I bought DH a keyring for our caravan keys that says ‘shitter’s full’ !

Rare Exports - a Finnish film described by Rotten Tomato as " an unexpectedly delightful crossbreed of deadpan comedy and Christmas horror.".

Available I think on Prime , and to rent/buy on Apple . We loved it and have watched a few times over the years

Santa Claus The Movie. I'm always surprised how many people haven't seen it.

I actually have the moose head egg nog bowl and cups, I had them shipped from the US website. 😂😂😂 I absolutely love them.

I'd love the advent calendar too.

My favourite unheard of Christmas movie is Pottersville. It has a 0% Rotten tomato review. 😂

P2. A horror film set in a car park on Xmas eve.

‘this Christmas’ starring Chris brown.

Barbie: A Perfect Christmas

Black Christmas! Yes! The loft… 😭

Dh actually is Clark Griswold (minus the Christie Brinkley bits…) . Even down to the jelly/ jam of the month work Christmas present 😡

We had a tv recording of this growing up! Was my mums absolute favorite. Had to fast forward the adverts and I think the first 5 mins were missed off. My step dad recorded Rick Stein over it in a rage one year.
