Xmas films.

OOPS... Colour.....

I like a film that makes me laugh and so it's got to be Home Alone or National Lampoon's Christmas Holiday. I've seen both of them many times but they still make me laugh!

I have watched National Lampoon so many times I can say all the words. I think I will give it a miss this year..... or maybe not.

I watched Holiday Inn last week for the first time. I much prefered it to White Christmas.

I make a point of watching Christmas Carol - could say it word for word.

I am very traditional and watch all the classic Christmas films if I have time.

I like to watch Christmas Carol and National Lampoon Christmas.

Anything but “It’s a Wonderful Lifel”. I like “White Christmas” though it’s all a bit schmaltzy and contrived. I also like “Arthur Christmas” which I think is clever and very funny. Other than that, Christmas films, as such, don’t float my boat. I prefer an old B&W like “Little Women”, “Philadelphia Story”; or for laugh out loud, Tom Hanks in “The Money Pit”.

I have a small collection of Christmas films which I watch over the holiday. White Christmas (of course), Holiday Inn, Miracle of 34th Street, Scrooge and Scrooged (a very funny updated version of Scrooge!)

Christmas isn’t Christmas without National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, but I like lots of others as well. It’s A Wonderful Life, Love Actually, Elf, Miracle on 34th Street....

Surely this thread should be on TV films and Radio?!

Brian, more posters will respond if you start this thread under tv and films.

Christmas isn't Christmas in our household without The Muppet's Christmas Carol with Michael Caine as Scrooge.

It is one of the best [if not the best] adaptation of A Christmas Carol!

I hardly ever look at the heading of threads I just look at Last Hour or Day and choose from the title.

My favourite film is The Holiday ,not Christmas without that film!

That is such a trashy chick flick film, Izzy [laugh]. I saw part of it on tv late one night and loved it so much I borrowed the dvd from a friend so I could watch all of it. I LOVE it!

...I meant !

The Bishops Wife ,with Cary Grant and Loretta Young ,wouldn't be Christmas eve without it

Christmas with the Kranks and Christmas Carol withRoss Kemp (TV - don't think it's available on DVD)

Definitely National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and the Muppet Christmas Carol. I rather like the Jim Carrey animated Christmas Carol too. I saw it at the cinema and the 3D was amazing. Must also have Love Actually and, if possible, the Winona Ryder Little Women.
All these have to be watched without DH as he doesn't do Christmas - although he may stretch a point for the Muppets

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - Love Actually - Muppet's Christmas Carol - We love all of them and watch them every year. However, my husband loves "It's a Wonderful Life" and I can't see it's appeal so he watches it on his own!

It's a Wonderful Life and The Grinch.
