Re: Favourite christmas movie

My Christmas film viewing window is quite narrow. I don't usually get in a Christmas mood until a few days before the big day and it ends on the day itself. Now that I don't have any little ones to watch them with, I don't watch many Christmas films these days. I do like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, which is probably my favourite traditional festive film. However, my favourite films set at Christmas but not Christmas films are 'Don't open till Christmas' and 'Trancers'.

Santa Claus the Movie. I can still imagine myself at the local Odeon watching it with 50 other people just before Christmas in 1985.

Re: Favourite christmas movie

Our family always watched Christmas Vacation every Christmas Eve . Now the kids have grown up they have carried on with the tradition

I prefer Bad Santa nowadays

Great minds think alike! It had Dudley "Tesco chickens" Moore in it as well.

I remember queueing outside along with other kids, and the Odeon had also listed on the front of the cinema, two films that I were not old enough to see back in 1985: "Tagret" on the first screen, and "Hannah and Her Sisters" on the second screen.

Funny how one remembers those little things from well over 30 years ago!

"Tagret" on the first screen

That was Target, and not Tagret.

Re: Favourite christmas movie

Also The Snowman where choirboy Aled Jones sings the song in the short animated film. If you ask Aled about it now he gets embarrassed lol

Re: Favourite christmas movie

Gotta be without doubt A Christmas Carol (Scrooge). I have two faves the 1953 Brit version with Alistair Sim as Scrooge and the 80s American version with George C Scott as the miserly old man. My next Chrissie treat is A Griswald Christmas with the always funny Chevy Chase. Has he finally discovered how to operate all his Chrissie lites.
