I was going to get it on dvd but like you said it should only be watched at xmas. I think xmas movies are depressing when you watch them outside of december.

Bill Murray is incredible in Scrooged. Perfect for the role, and the ending is sooo feel good.

Classic "A Christmas Story"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085334/

Everyone can watch it.....maybe not everyone.

Major thumbs up to that one, it's criminal that A Christmas Story doesn't get the attention it deserves over here. In the US, there's at least one TV station that plays it 24/7 during the Christmas season. Once you see it, you'll never forget, "I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!" and "You'll shoot your eye out."

I saw this for the first time last year and thought it was balls.

It's just a series of stuff with no real narrative (not surprising it's based on a bunch of newspaper articles). Sure there were some funny set pieces and things going on but it didn't tell me anything really. I talked to an American friend about it and she couldn't believe I didn't like it. I suppose if I had grown up watching it it would strike the nostalgia chord but I didn't.

I really like Christmas films though and always watch 3 or 4 every year. It's A Wonderful Life is always included. People seem to have a vision of it being saccarine when they haven't even seen it, it is schmaltzy enough at the end but it earns it via the serious **** dealt with prior to that.

Im sorry KungPao but DH is just not christmasy enough.:mad:
You'd be surprised at how many people prefer to do what you just described.

Not Christmassy enough! It is for people who wana see something that doesn't involve Santa Claus, Ebenezer Scrooge, Maculey Culkin, Tim Allen and Willie Wonka.

Essentially its all bout a guy coming home to see his wife and kids for the Holidays.......with terrorists!!
I don't think its suprising that alot of ppl do this, tonight i will be opening some beers and watching it and I cannot wait!!

Scrooged for bill murray and bobcat goldtwait
gremlins just for laughs
die hard for action
trading places for a drunk gun toting santa
and would love if family guy did 'kiss save santa' for real

Aidric

Home Alone
It's A Wonderful Life
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation¨
Trading Places
Scrooged

They'd be my top five in that order.

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation (still funny, no matter how many times I see it)

A Christmas Carol (with George C. Scott, from early '80s, I think)

Scrooged (hilarious! Love this film)

Sosa

Santa Claus the Movie with Dudley Moore,.

was just coming on here to post this, brilliant movie and the perfect feel good xmas movie!

...that and die hard of course!

Eirebear

These have probably all been mentioned by now but Christmas for me means

Santa Claus "The Movie"
Gremlins
Wizard of Oz
Bad Santa

And lots of Muppets films!

Morton Lowry

This may sound sad my favourite christmas films are:
Home alone
Baby's day out
Honey I shrunk the kids
A christmas carol
:eek:

_Roz_

It's A Wonderful Life, no contest.

ThOnda

The most important Christmas movie is...

Life of Brian!

Dman001

No Christmas would be complete without a showing of Toy Story, either the first or second. Or any Pixar film at that. Im sure we will be seeing Monsters Inc on this year again and The Incredibles will be on too:D

Scrooged followed by Gremlins. Bad Santa gets an honourable mention.
