Favourite Christmas Film?

[Hellyon]

We spent yesterday holed up in the house, lovely roast lunch and then watched 'The Polar Express' cosied up in front of the fire. What do you think are the best Christmas films as we want to build up a collection of 'wet Sunday in December' films.
PS I've asked similar in 'Christmas' too.

Hello helli, hope you are well, just to show my age I love the old films based on Charles dickens books, sad eh, also love the charlie chaplin,buster Keaton classics, and 101 dalmations, blimey I am so sad :-(

[Louisa 69]

also it's a wonderful life. I love all the old classics. :)

Bad Santa (not for kids tho') very funny

[redcrx]

Its a wonderful life is a great film at any time of year but is wonderful to sit snuggled up warm and watch on a wintry day.

Its a Wonderful Life always brings tears to my eyes. Don't particularly want to be crying on Xmas day!!! Lol :-)

I didn't know Polar Express was on yesterday...I have been wanting to see that for ages. Railway children always makes me cry but I also like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Hilarious.

I love the snowman and the main song.'Walking in the Air'
Beautiful!

[what..the?]

I have:
time bandits

indina jones box set
star wars box set
die hard box set

I love all of these

Hi all I haven't starred anyones answer because AB is so slow today.

Hi Ray How are you? I like the Dickens ones too. But I have to say a favourite is Bill Murray in Scrooged, a modern take on a classic, very funny.

Jillius Polar Express wasn't on - we watched it on DVD but I do recommend it, it's really magical.

It's a Wonderful life is our next Sunday afternoon film.

Keep the suggestions coming as I rewally want some good ones that we haven't seen.

I like The Santa Clause with Tim Allen, have to watch it every year!!

[B00]

Can't believe no ones mentioned The Muppets Christmas Carol, shame on you all!

Also I adore National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.
