Muppet Christmas Carol

Miracle on 34th Street ( i think that's on channel 4 at 6:30pm tonight)

Scrooged

The Snowman

It's a wonderful life

When Harry Met Sally (ok so not very christmassy but it's one of my fav films of all time and there are some christmas scenes and they finally get together on new years eve so that makes me go all gooey lol)

I love the Santa claus movie (the one with Dudley Moore), I've watched it every year since I was a kid!

We just watched 'It's a wonderful life' for the first time last night. I ❤️ it...

Other than that. 'Elf' is my Christmas tree decorating film, I love 'The Grinch' and 'Love Actually'

Oh and 'The Holiday' is great!

Its got to be Home Alone. I love it!

I forgot about The Holiday. OH loves Tim Burton's Nightmare before CHristmas, so I bought him the dvd last week. I have never seen it though.

Oooo thanks Nicola2010 I am now watching Miracle on 34th Street and just saw an ad saying Elf is on next Sunday ?

I love Christmas films!

Every year I HAVE to watch Santa Claus the movie (Dudley Moore one) on Christmas eve.

Also, love Elf, home alone and love actually

I love miracle on 34th street too but OH can't stand the girl in it and just chats the whole time calling her gormless. Really gets on my nerves so can only watch that one on my own.

Another vote for 'It's a wonderful life'.

The most moving, warm, tragic, yet inspiring movie ever made. If this movie doesn't make you glad to be alive and appreciate friends and family, no matter how distant they are, nothing ever will!

"bad Santa!" It's halirious!

I love christmas films, the ones we have to watch over christmas are

The Grinch

Home alone 1

Miracle on 34th Street

Santa Claus the Movie

Elf

Home Alone

I have to have it on while I am doing the tree!

Another vote here for It's a wonderful life and love actually (mmm....Andrew Lincoln)

But I also love Santa Claus the movie and all the other classics kids films they put on at christmas.

Oh I've just seen Santa Claus (Dudley Moore version) and The Polar Express are both on on Christmas Eve!!!

All the National Lampoon Christmas vacation films - hilarious! Another vote for Elf and Wonderful Life. There's another one I like too but can't remember the name of it...it stars Arnold Swarzeneggar and he's trying to get his little boy the latest Xmas toy (some sort of a robot) and ends up fighting everyone for it - that's funny too.

I love Elf!! But I love any christmas film if I'm honest!! Watched Miracle on 34th Street on Sunday......Elf is on this sunday!! x

I think the Arnie film is Jingle all the Way.

We've watched Santa Claus The Movie every Christmas Eve since the children were little and they are now 24 and 20! He is the REAL Santa.

There's also a really really funny film called The Christmas Story and it's almost become a cult film in America. I highly recommend it - hilarious.

That's it! Jingle all the way - thanks!

I love the one where I think its Tim Allen and he has to become the new Santa when the real one falls off his roof! I remember going to see it at the cinema when it was first released with my family as my Mums birthday is near christmas and have loved it ever since! I also love Elf, Love Actually and The Holiday

Too many to choose from, but here are some favs:

It's A Wonderful Life

Santa Claus (Dudley Moore)

Love Actually

The Holiday

Home Alone

& rather an obscure one, possibly my favourite....... anyone else love Bernard & the Genie? It's brilliant & I watch it every year!

xx

Well I like

The snowman (ALWAYS makes me cry at the end... ☹️ )

Miracle on 34th Street

Ernest Saves Xmas

And Love Actually (whenever I hear Bye Bye Baby I get a bit teary now!!!)

Xmas makes me so ?

Brilliant - sorry to bore you ladies but I just found one of my most favourite quotes from Bernard & the Genie. Very funny film:

Bernard is just trying to explian to the Genie, who has been in the lamp for 2000 years what Christmas is!

Bernard Bottle: Originally, it was supposed to celebrate the birth of this chap called Jesus Christ, who was born, well, about 2000 years ago.
Genie: Jesus, you say?
Bernard Bottle: Yeah.
Genie: But I knew this guy.
Bernard Bottle: You did not!
Genie: I did, I mean, what did he do to get so famous?
Bernard Bottle: Well, he turned out to be the Son of God.
Genie: No! I thought he was kidding.

Katie - I remember that film - it's so weird. but very very funny! How are you anyway? not spoken to you in ages!

Hey SG! Should've known you'd know it! I'm good thanks. I replied to your email today - sorry, haven't been in for ages to be able to. Hope all is good & is going well though. Was bummed I couldn't make the meet up but if you do another in the New Year - count me in!

Its A Wonderful Life. Makes me cry every time!! Also love The Holiday & The Snowman.
