The first 2 Home Alones

Love them.

[MTVN]

Bad Santa

I have earmarked Saturday for my annual get drunk and watch Bad Santa night :pipe:

[MTVN]

Love Actually is a guilty pleasure though

And National Lampoon is also a goodie

I like It's a Wonderful Life but it's not reallyyyy that Christmassy apart from the last 20 minutes

It's your turn to do the Tibb Advent Calendar tomorrow lovely x

Your reminder seems to suggest that I would have forgotten :shocked:

Never fear the advent calendar is even more important than Bad Santa night

A Christmas Carol, the 80s version. I do like the Jim Carey version a lot too though and that's the one we watch every Christmas Eve as it's my sons favourite

…two of my favourites are Polar Express and Jingle All the Way…and one of my guilty pleasure movies is While You Were Sleeping…oh and Gremlins, I’m not sure if that’s a Christmas movie…

…two of my favourites are Polar Express and Jingle All the Way…and one of my guilty pleasure movies is While You Were Sleeping…oh and Gremlins, I’m not sure if that’s a Christmas movie…Gremlins is set at Christmas so i think yes

[Ammi]

…oh and The Holiday, I forgot about that one…I think that’s probably a favourite for me more than Love Actually…

[Ammi]

Gremlins is set at Christmas so i think yes

…I think the movie law is that if Christmas is mentioned in any context then it’s a Christmas movie…

[Niamh.]

…oh and The Holiday, I forgot about that one…I think that’s probably a favourite for me more than Love Actually…Oh I like that one too and Last Christmas as well

[Ammi]

Oh I like that one too and Last Christmas as well

…oh I love that one …:love:…and the soundtrack to it as well…I can’t really give an absolute favourite, there are so many I love…

[Niamh.]

…oh I love that one …:love:…and the soundtrack to it as well…I can’t really give an absolute favourite, there are so many I love…Yeah, I just love Christmas movies in general [emoji318] I haven't watched loads yet this year though

[Alf]

"It's a wonderful life" isn't just the greatest Christmas movie. It's also one of the greatest movies ever.

[Alf]

A Christmas Carol, the 80s version. I do like the Jim Carey version a lot too though and that's the one we watch every Christmas Eve as it's my sons favouriteBlasphemy. The 1950s version is by far the best version. The one with Alister Sim as Scrooge.

[Alf]

The Shop around the corner
Miracle of 34th Street
White Christmas
Home Alone
A Christmas story
Muppets Christmas Carol
National Lampoon's Christmas vacation
Ernest saves Christmas

Along with the two I already mentioned are the best

And obviously Die Hard if that counts?

I've still never seen Elf or Bad Santa. I might put that right this year.

[MTVN]

[Mystic Mock]

I like Love Actually a lot as well eventhough its not PC to admit that anymore [emoji28]

Is it really PC to like any Movies these days?:laugh:

It feels like people want other people to enjoy nothing in life.

I haven't seen Love Actually personally, but I did like the first Home Alone when I watched it for the first time a few years ago.

And if we count it, then I'm going for Die Hard as my favourite Christmas Movie.:joker:

Home Alone is hilarious. I always watch it on Christmas day :laugh:

[Nicky91]

Gremlins is a christmas movie yes, it is set in christmas time


also the ''do you hear what i hear'' song such an iconic scene in that, when the gremlins put that on in Billy's house when they just hatched, with billy's mom

them eating the heads of the puppet cookies :laugh:



----------
Die Hard is also set in christmas time, is a christmas tradition here in my nation's tv channel to show it around this time of year




-----
@Vanessa have u also seen the newest Home Alone, the entire franchise btw is on Disney+ too, they have so much christmas content now, classics, specials and new

[bots]

i come from a generation where we got to see film premiers over the christmas week, so there was an endless number of films i could consider my christmas favourite

[James]

I like The Snowman animated short film.

I was looking around for a funny meme I saw about it the other day, but I can't find it.

If you like a bit of Raymond Briggs. Then let me suggest to you "When the wind blows"

[LaLaLand]

It’s a Wonderful Life. I’m always blubbering mess by the end, every single time without fail.

People moan all the time :rolleyes:.

There was complaints of not enough diversity , but the only character people seem to remember is Peter played by chiwetel Ejiofor. They forget about The prime minister's secretary Annie played by Nina Sosanya & the erotic movie director Tony played by Abdul Salis.


I wonder how many people have watched the deleted scenes on dvd , there's a companionship they cut out between 2 older women, and one of them dies .I thought at first they were sisters...but I think it's implied it could be more. But neither of them are in the movie itself which is strange.

[GoldHeart]

As for my favourite Christmas movies

Most of the Scrooge's / Christmas Carols
The Santa Clause
Jingle All The Way
Polar Express
I end up watching atleast 1 of the Home Alone's as it's usually on Christmas day

And for the first time in years I rewatched one called 'Greatest Store In the world ' ,which has a few familiar actors.

And plenty other Christmas movies aswell .

Glad to see someone mention Jingle All the Way.

My favourite line from that movie is when Arnie is cornered by the counterfeit toy peddlers who are all dressed like Santa just before they get raided by the police. And to escape he swipes a toy badge and pretends to be a cop. And then as he's leaving he calls out to the rest of the police: 'Alright, put them in a van and lock 'em up!' :joker:

[bots]

One i forgot .... violent night :laugh:

[Beastie]

Die Hard.

[Ammi]

…there is a Christmas movie called Noel…I don’t know why it’s remained lesser known because it’s such a strong Christmas story and very emotional….and the cast is exceptional…Susan Sarandon, Paul Walker, Penelope Cruz, Robin Williams, Alan Arkin….its not one that is shown very much through the Christmas period but I love it…it’s also one of my absolute favourites…

[Swan]

I only watched Love Actually a couple years ago for the first and i thought it was utterly crap :joker:

[Kate!]

Die Hard.

This

Watching it right now on c4
