On Friday I watched Scrooge, (the proper one from 1951 with Alastair Sym)
and last night it was A Wonderful Life.

Any recommendations for some Classic Christmas movies?

Elf, and a Muppet’s Christmas Carol.

I’d love to go to Fozzywig’s Christmas party!

Bad Santa

Jingle all the way, starring Arnie

Arthur Christmas, best Christmas movie ever

Die Hard
Gremlins
Batman Returns
The Ref

+1 Arthur Christmas
The Hogfather

Di hard +1

/Thread

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

Apocalypse Now.

Irreversible

Bad Santa

I third Bad Santa. Best Christmas film I have seen and brings on a smile when you are getting stressed with relatives, family issues or just want a break from the whole thing.

I refer to my wife as ‘Mrs Santa’s sister’ quite regularly now…

Not sure why people are recommending something other than Die Hard. It’s got everything you need: Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman, a Christmas party that gets out of hand and importantly a happy ending!

great escape

Because Edmund Gwenn in Miracle On 34th Street doesn’t keep screaming the oedipal compound noun & blowing people up? 🙂

Bad Santa all the way!!

It can only be Elf

Die Hard 2 feels much more Christmassy, in my opinion.

Iron Man 3
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Harvey (not Christmas, but hey-ho)

+1 Bad Santa

Rare Exports.

Another vote for Elf, best Christmas film ever IMO.

Can’t believe it’s taken this long before its a wonderful life gets a mention, the ultimate chrimbo film surely!!

Good call with Irreversible, but my ten year old daughter would struggle with the narrative….

Two glasses of wine (add more to taste if seasoned drinker) followed by The Grinch.

Whisky galore on bbc4. Although its almost finished

Elf
Rise of the guardians
Home Alone
Rocky IV
Trading Places

Elf and Home Alone.

Bernard & The Genie

Rare Exports +1

Planes, Trains and Automobiles – a little artistic licence on Christmas vs “the holidays”

(nothing can top its a wonderful life fwiw)

Elf and Arthur Christmas – actually shed a tear at the end of Arthur Christmas

Bad Santa +1

You watched “A Wonderful Life”? All the way through?

You watched “A Wonderful Life”? All the way through?

It does go on a bit!

I watched Commando last night, not festive but ace

+1 for Die Hard

It does go on a bit!

Gets my vote for the dumbest, most patronising Xmas film of all time…

Nah, it’s a fantastic film – just written for a different age, is all.

Home Alone – kids loved it too.

Gremlins
Planes Trains & Automobiles

Lethal Weapon.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

+all the other usual suspects 🙂
