Ah. I was trying to find how to search on this bloody new forum and only figured it out after starting the new thread

 

[SpideyGirl]

I really like The Grinch

 

[pip]

Which version :

 

[SpideyGirl]

Jim Carey one of course!

Other half says Die Hard

 

[pip]

[Molokov]

My list of the top 3 Christmas films for people who don't care about or celebrate Christmas:

3. The Nightmare Before Christmas
2. Gremlins
1. Die Hard

Good to see that others also like these

 

[Penfold]

I think I'll currently have to go with (not in any particular order of preference);

1. White Christmas
2. It's a Wonderful Life
3. Hogfather (does this one count as Christmas in Round World?)
4. Christmas Carol
5. Home Alone

 

[Danny B]

Hmmm. Tough call. In order I remember them, not by preference.:

1. Scrooged
2. The Nightmare Before Christmas
3. The Muppet Christmas Carol
4. White Christmas
5. Scrooge (1970 musical)
6. A Christmas Story
7. Love Actually (Don't judge me! Most of it is syrupy fluff, but there's a couple of lovely stories in there)
8. Le Père Noël est une ordure
9. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Chuck Jones animation)
10. Trading Places
11. We're No Angels

I'll be frank: I don't actually have a favourite Christmas movie. The closest I've come is the Hogfather miniseries and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Oh, and some of the Doctor Who Christmas specials, which don't count as movies.

Neither would Team Four Star's Abridged version of the Dragonball Z movie, The Tree of Might (though it is funny, and it's a Christmas special).

Would Batman Returns count as a Christmas movie? It's set during Christmas, and it heavily features during the movie...

love Christmas films! we're starting to watch the ones we have!

Elf
Home Alone 1 or 2 (none of the others they're rubbish!)
It's a Wonderful Life
Santa Clause
Lampoons christmas
and on Christmas eve with special scrambled eggs on toast lunch...

Muppet Christmas Carol!

I watched The Polar Express and The Muppet Christmas Carol with the kids on Sunday evening.

My 8 year old enjoyed The Polar Express more.

Forgot Love Actually which isn't half bad.

Chuffed Elf doesn't count because Will Ferrell is in ti
I think Hogfather has to count though even on roundworld

 

[chuffed]

Chuffed Elf doesn't count because Will Ferrell is in ti

It does purely cause of the snowball fight!

It's a Wonderful Life. Makes me cry every time.

Joyeux Noel. Set in WW1.

And at the other end of the spectrum, a movie that won't be everyone's taste but is on my 'to watch' list is a (2010) Finnish movie called Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. You can find the trailer on youtube.

 

[DaveC]

Rare Exports was awesome!

 

[Sister Jennifer]

Rare Exports was awesome!
