i do enjoy a good film thread, so in keeping with the season.. what are your favourite christmas films?

for me the childhood memory one is Santa Claus with Dudly Moore as the elf. then there's Die Hard and Gremlins. Mrsconsequence is a big fan of Muppets christmas carol.

The Grinch.. I simply couldn't stand rubberface when he did those stupid "pet detective" movies, but once over that period of his life I think he a Most Excellent Actor now..

One not to be missed in the Bouy Household.

Wait a mo, though...

How's Die Hard a Christmas Movie?

Sure, it's set at Christmas time, but it's got nothing to do with Christmas, has it? Or, if there is a connection, it's seriously peripheral.

I don't think people should start these threads unless everyone has a proper grasp of the milieu.

It's on everyone Christmas time, it's got Christmas references right the way through it, the bad guy wants to cancel Christmas bit like the Grinch.

But if you insist.

Lethal Weapon.

Okay I'll have Point Break then – it's got surf boards in it and surf boards are (mostly) white, which is kind of like snow. Snow, we know, is Christmassy.

It's a wonderful Life is sweet – but it's no Point Break.

Die Hard is a well-known Christmas film. I don't really recall Gremlins being specifically about Christmas but would you argue that that isn't a Christmas film?

Come to think of it, isn't It's a Wonderful Life basically about a run on the bank and a guy who can't escape his mundane life? It just happens to be set at Christmas? So maybe that's not a Christmas film either eh?

Pfffft.

Is Trains, Planes & Automobiles Xmas or Thanksgiving?

gremlins is set at christmas, remember the scene at the beginning where the kid is dressed up as the xmas tree?

some films are like the wallis and gromit films... not exactly set at or about christmas but its traditional that they always appear on tv around xmas and as a result become a christmas film by way of tradition and association
