So what's the best Christmas film ever?

[Robin Hood]

The Grinch
If you haven't watched this film from 2000 then you have missed an absolute treat.

Miracle on 34th Street - the 1947 version. The 1994 version with Richard Attenborough is OK but the 1947 version beats it.
A Christmas Carol - 1951 with Alistair Sim. All others pale beside it.

 

[Big_G]

National Lampoons

 

[Slime]

Jaws.
(Just imagine some snow, fairy lights and a turkey).

 

[USER1999]

Jaws.
(Just imagine some snow, fairy lights and a turkey).

If we are going there, resident evil. Ticks every box.

 

[Piece]

Flash Gordon
Where Eagles Dare

 

[Hobbit]

Every year we watch Its a wonderful life & the original Miracle on 34th Street. Cheese, crackers & a good wine whilst watching each of them... its a tradition in our house.

It's not Christmas until Hans Gruber has been thrown out of the Nakatomi Tower.

The Queen's Speech.

 

[USER1999]

The Queen's Speech.

Do you watch the early morning repeat along with Corbin?

 

[SocketRocket]

The great escape. Mainly for the motorbike scene.

Definitely NOT It’s a Wonderful Life, that’s for sure.

I watched it a few years ago after hearing all these claims that it’s the ultimate feel good Christmas movie. I was expecting to be enraptured!

Instead I was bored senseless. The main character is just bloody annoying and I found myself wishing he’d gone ahead and topped himself early on in the film and saved me a couple of hours.

 

[Robin Hood]

Is Von Ryan's Express still shown ?
I used to love that film.

Home Alone is the best. Honourable mention to Nativity. Bit cheesy but heart warming stuff.

Agreed. It’s bloody awful!

People should check out a Norwegian series on Netflix called Home for Christmas about a girl whose family treat her a little differently because she’s always single and she wants to find someone to bring to her family’s Christmas meal. Not the usual Christmas style but it’s quirky, funny and at only six episodes of around 30 minutes it’s a very easy watch. Not for kids though!

 

[Sats]

Scrooged
Die Hard
Santa Claus - the 80's one

 

[MadAdey]

Scrooged, National lampoons, Elf, Muppet Christmas carol are my favorites

 

[Duckster]

Lethal Weapon. Brings out all the festive cheer!

That's moved to Easter, The Great escape is Christmas.
