Christmas Films

Many of the films are repeats, year after year. I much prefer my music too!

I can't stand them.

Why do we have three threads for this ??
Far too early to be showing Christmas films.
All Christmas themed films are sentimental. It's how the makers assume we feel at this time of the year.

I like some of them - Danny DeVito's Christmas Lights is very funny.

They are awful! I never watch any of them, but DH would.?? I hate soppy sentimentality with a passion. Give me a good comedy or sci-fi movie any day.

I love a good cry and will be watching some of these over Christmas. I don't watch TV though - I cuddle up in bed with my laptop and DVD's.

Ooh - I love a good Christmas film, Love Actually always get watched on Christmas Eve. And the grandkids love Stick Man and Elf (as do I if I'm honest!)

My favourites are Love Actually and Bernard and the Genie. The latter is quite ancient now and I would love to buy it on DVD, but it’s no longer available.

Stick Man is great and I always count The Gruffalo's Child as a Christmas film.

I like Stick Man, in fact I recorded it when it was first on and have seen it several times.

Actually, we don't watch many films so many of them (even the old ones) will be new to me and I hadn't realised they were on in the afternoons. Just the thing for a wet and windy day, doing a bit of craft at the same time!

There are some BRILLIANT Christmas films, I think, but the dross made for the Hallmark channel or Movies 24 and the Christmas channel is sickly, sentimental, low-budget, poorly acted pap.

The ones they churn out daily really are dreadful slop, mostly made-for-TV films and have a simple story-line and a predictable beginning, middle and end. I love a good Christmas film to get me in the festive mood, but those fail miserably. They are so bad they make me cross.

I would generally agree - but I can't resist the old black and white film The Shop Around the Corner and Notting Hill.

Having a tooth extracted would be preferable to Christmas films,

I know what you mean aniebach however I must disagree! Once the film is over it's replaced til the end of the season or bit after. Once the tooth has gone it too is gone but the gap remeans!

I really shouldn't be trying to be witty at this hour, in my current state should I!

Remains!

I love an old black and white film which i cant remember the title of. Its about a vicar's wife who falls for a angel, plus of course It's a Wonderful Life. I also enjoy watching Scrooge for some reason too!! lol

Better to be funny in the early morning moocow than be a grump as I was when I posted in the middle of the night.?

But I so dislike Christmas films

Travels afar. That film is The Bishops Wife. The original starred David Niven. There was a remake but I haven't seen it.

The Muppets Christmas Carol.... enjoyable.
Lampoons Christmas, very funny.

Don’t enjoy tearjerkers though, so usually avoid Christmas themed fims.

Loved the book Stickman ( I was found the other year, sitting on a beanbag in DGS’s room reading this book.)
Must look out for it on film.

It's A Wonderful Life is just great and for a bit of a giggle The Grinch.

Hoping I can concentrate then for me it will be

Larkrise to Candleford and. Ballykissangel box sets

I rather like the version of A Christmas Carol with Ross Kemp.

Oo memories of Ballykissangel. We went there once. It is a village/town called Avoca in Ireland. We had a drink in Fitzgeralds

Ooooh Katy, was Father Mc in there having a sly one ?
