If You could only watch ONE Christmas film

dolphin city · 06-10-2010 1:49pm #1

which one would it be.

I would have to say, for me it would have to be Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the old version). It's not Christmas if is is not scheduled.

have fun trying to decide.

Did anyone ever see 'prancer'? Beautiful film - it's a close second to Home Alone for me!

Home Alone

lynski · 06-10-2010 9:14pm

used to be its a wonderful life, but love actually is creeping up on me... i guess if it is for the family then wonderful life, for me while chopping the veg on chritsmas eve love actually

Posy · 06-10-2010 10:46pm

Probably Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.. or Die Hard, although I love Elf and Home Alone is always a classic- aaaargh, I can't choose!!
I hope The Sound of Music is scheduled, I always used to watch it every Christmas.

scudzilla · 06-10-2010 10:47pm

Bad Santa, without a doubt, Billy Bob is pure evil

bryaner · 06-10-2010 10:50pm

The great escape.

Stevecw · 06-10-2010 10:59pm

Can only be Home Alone...that scene with O Holy Night in the church = Christmas for me.

mike65 · 06-10-2010 11:07pm

The Great Escape obviously, nothing says Christamas quite like captured escapee POWs being shot.

No one should have to choose just one

Christmas is many movies over a number of days/weeks that all come together to create a wonderful Chrstmas-y feelng

A Muppet's Christmas Carol for me too

Das Kitty · 08-10-2010 11:06pm

It's a Wonderful Life for me too.

It's just fantastic, brilliant message for these difficult times and a knock you dead performance from James Stewart.

I actually want to watch it right now, getting a lump in my throat here.

cdev · 13-10-2010 12:30pm

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - watch it every year, always good for a few festive laughs

bladespin · 13-10-2010 12:33pm

TBH I kinda like them all (even the cheese), one of the movie channels started showing them at the start of November last year and I watched nearly one a day lol.

Tomohawk · 14-10-2010 12:02pm

A Christmas Carol (any version)

Getting there · 14-10-2010 12:07pm

Has the be Santa Clause

The old one, could be Santa Clause The Movie, actually. We had this on VHS and watched it so much the tape melted practically. I loved that movie!

Theres a part in it where a little girl is inside learning her "French verbs" and when her narky mother/tutor person isn't looking, the little girl puts a an of coke and a sandwich i think outside the door for the elf. The door in the film looks exactly like my grandad's door in his house and I always waited for elves there on Christmas Eve when visiting them. And a can of coke always reminds me of Christmas now.

Funny how somethings stick in your head.
