There is a new episode of “the holiday films that made us” on Netflix about Elf.

It’s well worth a watch for those who enjoyed the film, some really interesting stuff in there.

For me it's a tie between Bad Santa and Gremlins :thumbsup:

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

When they get the Xmas tree in the hoose, that is hilarious.

It's a Wonderful Life
Home Alone
Elf

I'd also say Love Actually if you could edit out the Keira Knightly/Egg story.

I watched this for the first time this year after discovering the Vacations film. Really enjoyed both.

Anyone have a platform to see the Home Alone movies?

Not on Sky cinema, only for purchase or rental on prime and nothing on Netflix!

Not Christmas movies as such but I always associate the original Star Wars trilogy with Christmas, mostly because they were always in the TV over Christmas when i was wee, and were the first thing I’d look out for in the TV or Radio Times Christmas editions.

Same goes for Indiana Jones.

Indy for sure, I also think the same about Escape to Victory, as a kid it alsways seemed to be on at Christmas time

A Christmas Carol. The 1951 version with Alistair Sim. If you watch it without linking it to any religious aspect or a Christian belief, it is a classic anti-greed message for everyone.

We've watched The Muppet Christmas Carol after tea time on Christmas Eve ever since the kids were wee. They're 17 and 14 now but we still love to watch it. I think its the best version of A Christmas Carol that's been made, Michael Caine is terrific, although the missus likes the musical version with Albert Finney.

From my childhood I always associate watching The Wizard of Oz with Christmas. In my mind it was shown on Christmas Eve afternoon every year, but in reality it probably only happened once or twice.

Four Cristmases is good, I havent seen the other two mentioned. I find Dec the Halls funny as well.

Watched Nativity this morning.

Film is so so but the kids in it are brilliant. They carry the whole thing.

Nativity 2 is a good sequel.
