Hey all, What's everyne's favourite Christmas movie? Mine has to be the Muppets Christmas Carol, has been a favourite for as long as I can remember. My sister and I still sit down and watch it every Christmas Eve, and we're 20 and 23 now! I also love Elf, as I have an unhealthy obsession for both Christmas and New York. P.S Is it too early to start watching these films and listening to Christmas music? Oh also, what's everyone's favourite Christmas tune?

For me it has to be any version of 'A Christmas Carol'

I do prefer the George C Scott version, although I agree the Muppets were fab!
Sorry..the tune!

I like 'Hark The Herald Angels Sing' for tradition. It reminds me of being a kid..the Nativity play and being all excited about Christmas.

For cheese it has to be 'Mary's Boy Child' by Boney M.
since we were kids we always watched one magic christmas every christmas eve and i still do now.
although my 2 year old is already watching santa claus 1 every day
haha, I love the Muppets Christmas Carol (and I'm 50+, shhh)

I love the scene when the book keeper rats complain about being cold & scrooge asks them how they'd like to be unemployed. Suddenly they're all wearing Hawaiian shirts & sunglasses & singing 'Island in the sun'.
I'm very sad, I know...

You have to watch The Snowman at xmas too don't you?



OMG the list of christmas films I love is endless lol.

As soon as December rolls around I get out all the DVD's, grab a big tin of sweeties (you know the one that was going to be a spare present, just in case, but never quite lasts that long) and cuddle up on the couch with the remote.

The Muppets Christmas Carol is a also a favourite in our house particularly Gonzo & Rizzo "Light the lamp not the rat, light the lamp not the rat!" Lol.

As for tunes for me it has to be The Greedies (Thin Lizzy & The Sex Pistols collaboration) A Merry Jingle

Ooooooh Canny Wait!!!




Texas chainsaw massacre
xmas film: its a wonderful life. I can watch that film all year round though.

xmas tune: the pogues 'fairytale in new york' gets me thinking of my best friend and all the christmas eves we shared out on the booze when younger
For me favourite christmas movie is 'It's a Wonderful Life' with James Stewart', and favourite christmas song, is, unfortunately as I'm of that era, Slade's Merrry Christmas Everybody'
Fairytale of new york is in my opinion the most overated song of all time. faggots and maggots?

Give me a bit of Slade...
same as before for me too
it's a wonderful life - good old George Bailey

fav tune i like Let it snow

Love Fairytale of New York! I think mine is maybe Driving Home for Christmas. Not sure why! Still haven't seen It's a Wonderful Life. Which is a crime against Christmas! I will watch it this year.

I just love every bit of the Muppet's version. My favourite is It's only one more sleep til Christmas. Of I want to watch it now! Also Miracle on 34th Street is a classic!
For me, it's has to be 'It's a Wonderful Life' . Brilliant film.
Like Pippster, I do like any Scrooge, A Christmas Carol films. Even the one with Grant Mitchell a few years ago. My favorite one has to be the original Alistair Simms version. The Bill Murray "Scrooged" is also very good.

Apart from the above, I quite like "Love Actually" which has a very Christmassy feel to it.

Favourite tune has to be David Bowie and Bing Crosby's Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth or the entire LP "Beach Boys Christmas Album"
ok for a tune it is hard for me to choose between fairytale of new york slade, and jona louis wish i was at home for xmas
For a film it is probably scroged with bill murray
Hi shady - For me it has to be the original black and white scrooge ( Alister Symm )
Christmas tune - Mariah Careys - All I want for Christmas is you.
'The Snowman' is my favourite.
