Christmas Movies

The_Valeyard

So AH,

What have you been films you been watching this year?

So far:

Back to the future,
Harry Potter,
It's a wonderful Life
Star Trek,
Despicable Me,
Monster Inc,

One or two others I cannot remember..

No Home Alone yet? Did I miss it?

Edit: movies you have been watching over the Christmas, not necessarily Christmas movies.

Home Alone was on on Christmas morning at 08:30, should be on again

Usually it's on 6 times before the new year, I'm sure I will get another chance.

First home alone sky bought the rights so you'll only be getting it on Sky Movies that's why you haven't seen it. Same with elf

PizzamanIRL

Why the feck is Harry Potter considered a Christmas movie? Every year there's a marathon of the whole series.

Honey Monster

Die Hard is the greatest Christmas movie.

Agreed, but it doesn't seem to be on anywhere at all.

Home Alone was on on RTE when I watched it with the kids, watched Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory straight after it, don't have Sky Movies in my house

No way, Die Hard with A Vengence is brilliant

The Godfather is always a Christmas bonus

I mean xmas films. Die Hard with a vengeance is great.
Die hard 4 was ok.

We'll just pretend that Die Hard 5 never happened.

Home Alone 2

One eyed Jack

"It's a wonderful life" was on last week, the original "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" was on I think Christmas Eve, and there was a Tarzan marathon on today on TCM (Johnny Weissmuller).

Home Alone 2

Maybe it was the second one, I was blurry eyed on the couch, apologies if mistaken

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the original 1971 version)

Nothing to do with Chrsitmas, I know, but it was always on sometime around the holiday when I was a kid and it became associated with crristmas...

Willy Wonka has no reference to Christmas.

Very true, I never said it did either

We're doing our own Harry Potter marathon, on the Order of the Phoenix today so it'll be the Half Blood Prince tomorrow and then on Monday a double feature of the Deathly Hallows. Then we'll be having all the Lord of the Rings (extended versions obviously) and then the Matrix.
Obviously not Christmas movies but boxsets that you only really have enough time to get through at Christmas.

As for Christmas movies we've watched all the Home Alone movies, the Santa Clause movies, all the variations of Scrooge and A Christmas Carol, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (original).

Aliens. There's nothing better than watching acid-blooded Aliens getting blasted to bits to get into the Xmas spirit.

When's that on?

I like Platoon this time of year too.

Snake Plisken

Willie Wonka and the Chocolate factory might not have anything to do with Christmas but it was always shown at Christmas when I was a child and I caught it on rte this Christmas morning and to me it will always be my favourite Christmas film!

--LOS--

"A Christmas story" wins hands down.

cloud493

I've been waiting all year to watch home alone 1 and 2.

mass_debater

It's not Christmas till you've watched Bad Santa with the kids

harry Bailey esq

I like Bad Santa...very christmassy.



"You ain't gonna sh1t right for a week"

ebbsy

Lego movie and Willie Wonka.

Links234

Watched Scrooged, The Producers and The Princess Bride while I was at home with the family

bop1977

No Star Wars on the box this year. Very disappointing from the TV companies.

Ihatecuddles

Santa Claus the movie
The Santa clause
Arthur Christmas
Home alone
Home alone 2
Elf

That's all we've watched this year.

Caught a bit of the Princess Bride last night. Thought to myself, "Oh, this looks like the Princess Bride. Never actually saw this. Seems to be a bit of a cult favourite IIRC"......... Turned it off after 15 minutes. WTF?? Its not a serious film and yet it wasn't funny either??? Explain??

Mink

Polar express
National lampoons Christmas vacation
The family man
The family stone

Also a nod to the short films the gruffalo, the gruffalos child, the snowman and the snowmans dog

thegreatgonzo

The Muppet Family Christmas on DVD. It's hard to watch anything in its entirety in my house so I saw the first half of Scrooged on Christmas Eve on RTE and the end of it last night on some other channel. I did see all of the Muppet Christmas Carol though on Christmas Eve too so I did well.

Scrooged is my favorite Christmas movie. Bill Murray at his best.

You wouldn't describe The Princess Bride as 'funny'?
I do not think it means what you think it means.

Watched ET today. What a filum! There were tears, I'll be honest...

Classic movie alright. They struck gold finding Henry Thomas. Just look at this for an audition:
