Bad Santa is ok
I waited until my 31st Christmas until I watched It's a Wonderful Life, I've watched in every Christmas since.

I don't know! It's like that Frankie Goes To Hollywood song, nothing to do with Christmas at all and yet...

Starts in the snow? Oh no wait

I tried, earlier, but the version on youtube has been messed with so the image is mirrored and the sound has an echo applied to it.

The Great Escape for me. The theme tune makes me feel as Christmassy as Good King Wenceslas.

So there is a difference between films shown at Christmas and those with a Christmas theme.

Surely they have to be either set around Christmas (as their thematic backdrop), or have Christmas as their central theme.

As a kid it was always Jason and the Argonaughts on Christmas Eve- for me that is the one film that makes me think of Christmas.
