Favourite Christmas film

[AGC21]

With the cold weather VERY much here, I am ready to start Sunday Christmas film sessions again. Got me thinking, what is everyone's favourite Christmas film? For me, got to be The Holiday!

Muppet Christmas Carol

It's a Wonderful Life

The Family Stone

Christmas with the Kranks.

Muppets Christmas Carol
Scrooge’s
Elf

Scrooge

Elf and the Santa clause

Miracle on 34th Street either version.

@Classica

I can't stand Home Alone. I think I was 14 or so when it came out so it was never part of my childhood xmas. I think you need to have watched it as a kid to love it.

Yes, this is a film from my childhood)

Die Hard.

And Clue. (The 80s comedy with Madeline Kahn, Tim Curry, Christopher Lloyd and Eileen Brennan.) It’s not a Christmas film in itself but me and a friend used to watch it every Christmas so it has become one in my head.

By the way, if you’ve got Netflix there’s a series on how some classic movies were made. Among others they look at Home Alone, Die Hard, Elf and A Nightmare Before Christmas.

Would help if I told you what it was called…

The Movies That Made Us

There was a little animated Rudolph the red nosed reindeer that was shown when I was little. I love Miracle on 34th Street and Love Actually. I don’t really do silly films but National Lampoons Christmas Vacation really makes me laugh ( auto correct changed that to vaccination which would have been funny

Klaus
While You Were Sleeping
Arthur Christmas
How The Grinch Stole Christmas (30 minute animated version)
Miracle on 34th Street (both versions)
It’s A Wonderful Life
White Christmas
Holiday Inn
Muppet Christmas Carol
Scrooged
The Christmas Chronicles
The Homecoming (the TV movie that lead to The Waltons becoming a series)

I hate to tell you but that Rudolf thing aged BADLY! I bought it in a fit of nostalgia and it was unwatchable.

@TyrannysaurusXXrightshoarder

Die Hard (yes, it is a Christmas film - no arguments please ) Love Actually (I know, I know but I can’t help liking it)

Same.

Oh and Arthur Christmas. Me and DC watch this whilst putting the trimmings up.

Santa Claus the movie. Quite an old one but David Huddleston is the nicest Santa I have ever seen. I adore it. Dudley Moore & John Lithgow also in it.

I love While You Were Sleeping, and I'm not generally a massive romcom fan. But the chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman is everything, plus the supporting cast are fab.

Love Actually (yes I know)
Bernard and the Genie
Jack Frost
Home Alone 1 and 2
Arthur Christmas

Oh and how could I forget Nativity!? My niece is in it

@VienneseWhirligig Jack Frost makes us cry! So sad

Muppets Christmas Carol
And Christmas Chronicles 2 is amazing

Family Stone. It's the scene where SJP just lies in bed with Luke in his tee-shirt and can just be herself as being so tightly wound-up is bloody exhausting.

Miracle on 34th street. Absolutely love it and watch it every christmas

@Jobhunterhelp

National Lampoons Christmas vacation

I was going to say this.

And also, any day now my next door nobheads will be decking out their house as a tribute to this film.

Muppets Christmas Carol and Nativity
