    Sorry, but Die Hard and Gremlins, despite their general merits, just arent Christmas movies.
    How so? What exactly makes you think they arent christmas films?

    Die hard, its his wifes christmas party, on christmas eve, there are at least 3 christmas songs on the soundtrack lots more things.

    gremlins - pretty much the whole film takes place at christmas, its a wonderful life is on the tv, people walk about singing and listening to christmas songs, there are christmas decorations all over the place, there are carolers (including gremlins).

    Gremlins - Saw this as a very young kid but to this day Im still madly in love with Phoebe Cates

    Die Hard II - They had the good sense to set the sequel at christmas as well.

    National Lampoons Christmas vacation - I think I like this just because of the Griswald house and how its decorated.

    Edit: The Muppet Christmas carol -Have to put this in aswell. Saw it last year in the lighthouse cinema with a screen full of adults and kids and it was magical. Not ashamed to admit that I did shed a tear or two.


    Although I do think that "Fred Clause" with Vince Vaughan is massively underrated.

    I completely forgot to do the poll for this!

    That's just a testament to how busy work was just before Christmas, although it's not much better this month :P

    Noms can continue until Sunday and I will open the poll Monday Morning, something to look forward to for after the decorations come down for everyone.

    Okay fine!

    It's a Christmas film.
    It's set on Christmas eve at a Christmas party about a man visiting his family for Christmas... it's a no brainer! :p
