Yup, that's mine also.

Creature

The Thing?



Ok my obsession aside, it's not Christmas without Raiders of the Lost Ark. Fact!

mac123

I dont really like Christmas movies but there is one that sticks out, so my favourite is bad santa. Whats yours?

ec18

The nightmare before christmas

froosh69

Wossack

Die Hard

Archeron

Cannibal Holocaust.

Latchy

I like the Laural and Hardy /Marks bros film ,find they always cheer me up and the Snowman amimation i have to watch ,it's what christmas is all about .

Xavi6

Home Alone
Bad Santa
Die Hard
The Snowman

Pompey Magnus

Santa Claus: The Movie (the one with Dudley Moore). It used to be a tradition in my house when I was growing up to get the VHS out in the run up to Christmas and watch it. I haven't seen it in ages now but actually saw it on sale in HMV yesterday, I might just buy it to relive the memories.

Lux23

Its a Wonderful Life
A Christmas Carol (George C. Scott version)
Scrooged

I know the last two are technically the same movie but they are a complete different treatment of the same text.

wutra

Indiana Jones

or

Flash Gordan

hey its christmas, i'm allowed 2?!?

although i do like Ben Hur and Clash Of The Titans too, ohh and Back To The Future aswell, while i'm at it may aswell through in Sherry Bobbins also and the Fr. Ted christmas special, i know its off topic but def worth a mention.

biko

The Snowman
Ivanhoe

Ger_Hankey

A Christmas Story - Its very funny, especially if you have kids (or were one once)..


"You'll shoot yer eye out!"

kaimera

Bad Santa was a horrible movie.

Charlie & The Chocolate factory [original obviously] ftw

r3nu4l

Scrooged
A Christmas Carol
The Santa Clause (Sad, I know!)

Not really Christmas movies but shown at Christmas:
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Groundhog Day
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (Gene Wilder, not Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Mr. J Depp!)

the holiday and the home alone movies

Poco Loco

Has to be Elf

watna

Muppet Christmas Carol... it doesn't get any better than that! Also, slightly unrelated I read 101 Dalmations, the book, every Christmas Eve. Have done since I was little. The book is quite Christmasy and atmospheric.

Wreck

Santa Doesn't Just Cum Down The Chimney

Also Scrooged

kraggy

The Snowman

Spud83

I've said it before it has to be Arnold's classic "Jingle All The Way"

with quotes like this how can it be bad.

Ted: Howard. They say it might get icy later. You might wanna wrap some chains around those tires.
Howard Langston (Arnie): Maybe I should wrap some chains around you.
Ted: What?

Again a vote for Die Hard. Favourite Summer, Autumn and Spring movie too.

Endasaurus

The Muppet Christmas Carol every single time.


The bit when the doorhandle changes to Jocob Marley's ghost face going Scroooooge :eek: :eek:

Lmao great film

Mine would have to be Home Alone 1&2

rainbow kirby

Die Hard.

Terry

Scrooged and Die Hard.

Moved from AH.

Punchbowl

Scrooged with Bill Murray is the best Christmas Movie ever, without a doubt..

Bad Santa, It's a Wonderful Life and A Nightmare Before Chirstmas a close 2nd, 3rd and 4th

Pherekydes

The sequel to Elf is out; it's called Zwölf.


Favourite: Home Alone.

Varkov

Die Hard (Now I've got a machine gun.........ho ho ho.)

Nightmare Before Christmas

Muppet Christmas Carol

bringitdown

Muppets Christmas Carol is great, but I say The Great Escape ... now that makes me feel christmas!

Goodshape

I watched Elf last night. There was potential for greatness but I thought it was fairly awful tbh.

It's a Wonderful Life is probably the best. Muppet's Christmas Carrol is great too.
