Elf - a favourite Christmas movie no longer?

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation with the Griswalds is the funniest Christmas film ever. It cracks me up every time. Hope it's on this year at some point.

OP how dare you assume Buddy's gender!!
Just because he looks, acts, and IS a man, doesnt mean he isnt a real women with every right to walk in on CIS women showering.

Check your CIS privilidge!

I've never seen Wonderful Life - or Gone With the Wind (not Christmas I know) - maybe I'll manage it one day. I did watch Miracle on 34th Street last week which was lovely.

All this PC nonsense is ridiculous - Morecombe and Wise's bed scenes would have been banned now - we thought nothing of them back in the day they were just hilarious!

Talking of Pc-ness in films and songs, we shouldn’t tinker with, or ban them. They were ‘of their time’. It wasn’t considered offensive, by most women, to be whistled at in the street years ago. We rather took it as a compliment. Likewise, I find it amusing when looking back in amazement at our acceptance of songs like ‘Wives and Lovers’ “Hey, little girl, comb your hair, fix your makeup. Soon he will open the door. Don’t think because there’s a ring on your finger you needn’t try any more!”
They have even started tinkering with Christmas Carols. I was shocked to see “Born that we (not man) no more may die” on a carol sheet.
Changing our past, in any way, is a bad idea.

I’ve never heard of Will Ferrell.

I find Elf rather an uncomfortable watch to be honest. It is like watching an adult with learning difficulties as he gallops about and I have never found that funny.

I find Will Ferrell cringe making and have never managed to watch all of Elf. Muppet Christmas Carol is THE best Christmas film - we still watch it every Christmas Eve regardless of whether we're on our own or have a houseful!

We still go to the Pictures to see a fillum.

My favourite Christmas film is The shop around the corner (1940). I think it was re-made as You got mail, which I thought was not a patch on the original.

I love The Polar Express. I usually hate animated stuff but watched this one day with my GD. It's great.
