2NaFish Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 In terms of what a christmas movie should be, it's a wonderful life. There are probably better movies about or set at xmas, but IAWL hits all the right points. If it's just what's the most entertaining movie set at christmas, then it's die hard.

blondejamtart Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Never seen most of them, to be honest - except for Home Alone and Die Hard, which I don't really think of as being "xmas movies".

I even have it that, every year, just after putting the deckies up, my daughter and me sit and watch it. That's what xmas is all about. Keeping traditions alive and passing them on. I still try to watch the box of delights each year because I was mesmerised by it as a kid,although it's not technically a movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 What about Planes, Trains, And Automobiles as a left field entry? Classic film. Wasn't that about Thanksgiving? A favourite of mine, though. It's A Wonderful Life is another for me. Not a movie, but a TV episode I've mentioned here a few times. It's the Christmas episode from the first series of The West Wing, called In Excelsis Deo. And another that gets watched every year in our house is this: It's got three animated short Christmas stories (about 30 minutes or so each). We had it on VHS years ago, and then got it on DVD.
