Gremlins is great, but it has to be It's a Wonderful Life.

Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.

How did you forget this one OP? :eek:


Also, the original "Miracle on 34th Street", not the copious amounts of remakes that came after it!


Oh - Willy Wonka, the original, not that shyte with Johnny Depp! :rolleyes:

Hrududu

"I can't believe you didn't include xxxx!?!?!! It's the best Xmas movie ever!!!"

The usual classics, Die Hard, Grenlins, Scrooged, It's a Wonderful Life. Also love The Nightmare before Christmas. And though not a Christmas film you have to watch an Indiana Jones over the season.

I didn't forget it, 25 options max plus I included a "I can't believe it's not there!!" option just for you

Miracle On 34th Street is in the poll.

Pretzill

It's a Wonderful Life.

Heisenberg1

Surviving Christmas

Planes trains and automobiles and trading places, Santa Claus the movie and the polar express.

Tarzana2

Miracle On 34th Street (1947)

OP, I could kiss you for not including the crappy 'Love Actually'. Hell is filled with Richard Curtis films (except Bridget Jones's Diary).

Elf, Bad Santa, Home Alone and Die Hard off the top of my head. Not mad keen on 'It's a Wonderful Life' even though I know it's a classic.

The Polar Express

Where the F**k is Die Hard???

Thanks ......... but ........ it's only not included because I used up my 25 max options ......... we (myself & wife) watch it every year.

I actually don't like it though, it's for the wife!!

How does a poll on Christmas films not include It's a Wonderful a Life and Planes Trains and Automobiles?

My favourite is Black Christmas, the original...but it's not for everyone.

I suppose if you haven't seen them, you wouldn't think of them?

And I agree with you about It's A Wonderful Life ......... it's just ok in my opinion.

You're not missing much to be honest, despite what people say.

I know they're not exactly christmas films, but I always find myself watching a lot of the Harry Potter films over christmas

Maybe you should have dropped How the Grinch Stole the Kranks or whatever and gone for the classics and obvious ones.

It's like a Greatest Film about the Mafia poll excluding the Godfathers. It just makes it...senseless.

It's good, if very simplistic.

But doubt anyone anywhere would seriously rate it behind the Grinch or Polar Express stuff.

Mint Sauce

No Die Hard, or Its A Wonderful Life.

You can please some people some of the time, but you can't please everyone all of the time

Well as you didn't include It's a Wonderful Life, Granny is going to have to sit through Pulp Fiction.

Captain Chaos

It's more Thanks Giving movie but Planes Trains and Automobiles. Classic movie

Mysteriouschic

The Nightmare Before Christmas

How did you miss out on Jingle All The Way?! the funniest christmas movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Then Home Alone 1&2 , Polar Express, The Santa Claus Movie, Jack Frost.
Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer the animated one.

Turtyturd

Bad Santa is there so the poll's ok.

I couldn't drop those movies, all 5 of us in my family had 5 movies to pick (actually I picked 4 and left the blank 25th one open for suggestion) ......... it's not that serious a poll/thread/discussion anyway Conor.

Family Meeting

Me: "Anybody want to include It's A Wonderful Life"?

My 9yr old son: "We're not watching that sh*te again this year dad! Put on the Elf!!"

Rest of the family cheers!

Me: "Go to your room for using bad language .......... and by the way, you're right!"

'It's a Wonderful Life' isn't the Godfather of Christmas films. It should be on the list, sure, and I know it's influential and blah de blah but it's overrated. I'd, for example, put Home Alone streets ahead of it.

I like to watch the Wizard Oz at Xmas, OP, but it's not really Christmassy.

MetalDog

Elf

Anyone else consider The Hunt for Red October to be an Xmas movie, I think it sort of is.
Anyway, Die Hard.

It definitely should be up there,it's one of my favourites too watch at Xmas. It's on Netflix now so I'll be giving it a watch again this weekend.I've not saw the sequel that WWE decided too make and might as well,but knowing the movies that WWE,churn out,like most of them I'll probably switch it off after 20 minutes.

You'll have to run it past Mr. Claus first .........

Eugene Norman

It's still not going to help your poll of you don't have what's commonly regarded as the best Christmas movie of all time. Also any version of a Christmas Carol would be better than most of these (and the 2009 one is one of the worst).

Edit:

You do have Scrooge (1970) and Scrooged. So points for that. Muppets are missing though :-(
