Watched a bit of The Spirit Of Christmas on Sony Christmas over the weekend and oh my God it was dreadful. The main character falls in love with a ghost who isn't a ghost at this particular time of year. I didn't get as far as the falling in love bit because it was muck. Roll on Christmas 24 for some Hallmark cheese.

Dreadfully great I'm sure you mean!

^^ I watched it as a kid and it terrified me and have never watched it again. Must give it a spin.

So it turns out Sony Christmas is no longer on virgin media.

Hi Loughc,

I'm afraid this channel is no longer included on our platform however, we are working to bring new channels on board. We do apologise for any inconvenience. ^Kellie

TBH guys you ain't missing much.

Despite being a Christmas nut I've said many times I simply cant watch more than 8 or 9 Christmas movies & tend to watch the same ones each year. The hallmark style & other made for TV ones I simply haven't the will to watch, they are so poor & saccharin sweet to me they're unwatchable. I'd rather stick on one of the music channels & watch Slade & co. over & over.

Our christmas list I have copied onto a USB key that sits in the back of the TV, i've had the same films on it for years, with only Klaus added in the last few years.

At last check we had:

National Lampoons Christmas vacation
Its a wonderful life
Elf
Home alone 1 & 2
Santa Claus the movie
Love actually
The nightmare before Christmas
Scrooged
The family man

& have since added Klaus & the polar express (though we haven't watched that one the last couple of years)

I had high hopes for Last Christmas but I reckon I'll need a few years to forget that one before I watch it again.

Not sure if it has been mentioned but The Grinch is now on Netflix

Good solid list that DvB. Only one I would add for us is Muppets Christmas Carol.

Have it on DVD, the kids have no interest in it though, watched it once when they were small & they liked it, went to watch it again a couple of years ago & they turned it off after 10-15 minutes despite my efforts to keep them engaged

Love it myself.

Good list that as well Jude.

Good to see Clarke topping all the lists (would be top of mine as well)

We would be similar, have good intentions from November and then never seem to have the time. Hopefully this year will be a bit quieter so have more time to watch movies.

I'm the opposite, my OH likes the most recent one, Attenborough Santa, and I can't take to it at all.

National Lampoon's
Trading Places
Elf
Bad Santa
Santa Claus The Movie
Polar Express
It's a Wonderful Life
Home Alone 1&2
Miracle on 34th Street
Muppets Christmas Carol
Disney Christmas Carol (Jim Carrey one)
The Snowman
Arthur Christmas.

Will have to add Klaus this year after the reviews it's got on here.

My all-time favourite list
Home Alone 1 & 2
The Polar Express
Love Actually
Willy Wonka
The Sound of Music
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
The Family Stone
The Grinch (animated)
