Re: Favourite christmas movie

Another more recent addition to my Christmas favourites that was first shown on tele about 9 years ago on BBC4 (and I liked enough to get on DVD) is 'A Child's Christmases in Wales', a charming little film full of nostalgia, set over a couple of Christmases in South Wales during the 80's, Ruth Jones is Mum...takes you back

Except Aled Jones didn't sing it in the film! It was a boy called Peter Auty. Aled Jones got all the glory when they decided to release it as a single and asked him to sing it.

That's almost right Toys R Us wanted to used Walking In The Air for an advert but couldn't get the rights to Peter Auty's version so Aled Jones was used for the ads & later released as a single.

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

I have not seen it. Will take a look. Hope Carey does not overact in this one.

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.

"Tagret" on the first screen

That was Target, and not Tagret.

Santa Claus: The Movie (1985)

brilliant film, saw it at the cinema as a kid and loved it. it's my go to christmas movie and still makes me laugh, especially John Lithgow "FOR FREE!?"

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!

Herbie (though the original one was way, way more better so than the early noughties one) and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory for me!!!
