North Berwick Jambo Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. My favourite by miles, so many classic scenes & probably the one reason I have never had my entire family here on Christmas day as this is how I imagine it would turn out!

Currahee! Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Does the Great Escape count? Home Alone. Some great quotes. "Keep the change ya filthy animal" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzroy Pointon Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 A Christmas Carol. Great story and always makes me feel good. Particularly the Muppets Christmas Carol and the Disney one I watched a few weeks ago with Jim Carey and Gary Oldman. Other than that Bad Santa and of course Home Alone, a classic.

hughesie27 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The Santa Clause. Which is getting watched tonight. It wasn't until I went to download the other week that I realised why 'Clause' had an 'e' on the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corstojohn Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 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. It's a Wonderful Life is my favourite film of all time. A couple of years ago my wife bought me a collectors special edition DVD of it and every Boxing Day when the family go off to the sales I sit in peace and watch it and have a good greet.

In glasgow there's a few cinemas that show it on the run to christmas. There'll probably be one near you, so get yourself along on xmas eve and greet along with the crowd.

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. Another for IAWL. Possibly one of my fav films as well. Anyone considering it and never seen it, ffs don't watch it remastered in colour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Maroonblood Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 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 movieI remember I watched Box of Delights with my kids.Great viewing. BBC always did very good children's Xmas serials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primavera Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Confession time...... I've never seen it's a wonderful life I wouldnt worry too much, recorded it 2 years ago, watched 30 minutes and thought it was miserable, sanctimonious old garbage so fired up the laptop and went onto kb. Kids hated it. Wife wants us to watch it "Together as a family" this year. Epic fail incoming for Mrs Primavera. Wizard of Oz all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 First mention for 'Nativity' (2009) starring Martin Freeman and Marc Wootton. Very funny film, great songs, brilliantly acted and pretty much unscripted. The other Nativity film are utter gash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 It's a Wonderful Life. But have to watch it alone, so as not look like a woose when I start greetin at the end. To think it bombed when it was first released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonesy Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 What about Planes, Trains, And Automobiles as a left field entry? Classic film. Thanksgiving or no, this is a belter of a film, starring two of the greatest American comedic actors of all time. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think it bombed when it was first released. It didn't bomb, but it wasn't an instant classic. It took off when it became public and could be shown on telly for free a few decades on.
