Is It Acceptable To Watch Home Alone Now?

[abbeyleigh]

As christmas is over is it acceptable I just love that film so much

Mozz - // //I never understand why Home alone, Wonderfull Life and Die Hard are considered Christmas Films//

I can, but I don't get why, if these films are (add Gremlins to that list), how come Lethal Weapon, Iron Man 3 and Trains, Planes and Automobiles are not. //

It's the same with Christmas singles.

For me, a 'Christmas Film' is a film that involves the spirit of Christmas, like It's A Wonderful Life, rather than one that is simply set at that time of year, like Die Hard.

With singles, obviously Slade's Merry Xmas and Wizard's I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day are 'Christmas Signles' because that is what they are about.

Unlike Two Thousand Miles by The Pretenders, or Stop The Cavalry by Jona Lewie, which simply happen to mention the word Christmas twice in the lyrics, and in my view, don't count.

roy - // I think andy is about 68, andres. //

I think andres' questyion was actually aimed at abbeyleigh, wondering why she feels she needs the approval ot strangers to watch a film.

And for the record, I am 67, just - in November.

Cheek!!!

LOL!!

Ah, andres and I cross-posted, so there we are, confusion sorted.

It's funny, because I most definitely consider both of those to be Christmas singles, not just because they both mention it, but because the narrative of both songs is about being far away from, and wanting to be with, those you love over the Christmas period. although neither are "about" Christmas, the time of year is important to both.

Now, Stay Another Day is a completely different story. adding bells to a song does not make it a Christmas song.

I can't stand that runt, Macaulay Culkin, but if you really enjoy the film, so be it and it's your choice, especially if you are home alone now.
