    The Die Hard movies are not Christmas films ....... ok, the first two take place on Christmas Eve (but could have taken place at any time of the year without effecting the plot in any way whatsoever!) but Die Hard's 3, 4 and 5 have literally no connection to Christmas at all??? :confused:

    I do like some of the other movies on your list though! :)

    These are the 21 'Countdown to Christmas' movies that will be airing on Hallmark Channel USA:
    https://www.tvinsider.com/580025/hallmark-channel-christmas-movies-2017/

    I assume some of them will end up on True Xmas...

    The cast of "The Christmas Train" - Dermot Mulroney, Danny Glover - suggests it could be worth a look.

    I watched Twice Upon A Christmas yesterday on True Christmas. It was grand but there’s a song in it that’s still stuck in my head.

    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was on RTE earlier and Die Hard 2 is on now. Have we skipped November without me realising?

    I’m watching Die Hard 2, perfect for a lazy Saturday night!

    I’m watching A Wish For Christmas on Netflix. So cheesy! Perfect Sunday afternoon viewing.

    Watch a Harry Potter movie every weekend from this weekend and it'll bring you up to the weekend just before the big day!

    Absolute corker of a movie.

    As Halloween has just past and Christmas is a little bit away how about Christmas horrors to bridge the gap:
    Black Christmas - as above
    Silent Night Deadly night - meant to be pretty good, I will give it a watch this Friday.
    Dead of Night
    Krampus
    Better watch out - A new one which is meant to be very good too

    From Monday 4th, Channel 4 will be showing a Christmas movie weekdays just after lunch... I see lots of plotlines involving (a) childhood sweethearts on opposing sides of land deals and (b) impossibly cute dogs... so we're in Hallmark territory for those who don't have True Xmas!

    ^ I may've seen a few of those yesterday, The Golden Christmas movies 1-2&3! too cute...
    Snowmance and A Cinderella Christmas looks promising.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,587 ✭✭✭DunnoKidz


    I fell asleep during the first 20 mins of A Perfect Christmas List, hope it comes back around, the main stars are from old tv shows, looked really good.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,587 ✭✭✭DunnoKidz

    Watched National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation for the first time tonight. Really enjoyed it.

    Also watched Arthur Christmas again. My husband had never seen it and he’s not usually a fan of ‘kids’ films but he loved it. It’s such a feel-good film.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,239 ✭✭✭Jimbob1977


    Has anyone mentioned 'It's a Wonderful Life'? Couldn't see it over the pages.

    Possibly the most popular and famous Christmas movie of all time :)

    The Neverending Story also has a Christmas feel.

    National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

    Star Wars Episodes IV, V and VI

    Indiana Jones

    One for tomorrow! Thanks for the recommendation!

    I watched Switched For Christmas earlier. Sickeningly sweet but perfect for a Saturday afternoon.

    Yes but it would win, hands down the best Christmas movie ever made.

    Actually it doesn't come in at No.1 in most public-opinion (as opposed to Critics polls) polls ......... Miracle On 34th Street usually takes the No.1 spot with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Home Alone and Elf not far behind.
