The Great Escape! Though we've got it on dvd now as it hasn't been on for a few Christmases - Chicken Run would do nicely instead!

I’m not a big film-watcher, but I loved Emma Thompson in Love Actually. The way she smoothed down the bed sheets after she found her husband had bought for his colleague the lovely bracelet she’d been hoping for herself.

Bridget Jones when she runs out through the snow to Colin Firth in her undies and dressing gown.

Wonderful life, Christmas Carol the animation and the Alastaire Simm versions, and any religious films, but doubt they will show any over Xmas.
Saw one recently, Risen, very good.

Years ago on Xmas morning I used to love the old black and white films, Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy etc.

[Mamyalynne]

I think Risen is more an Easter film.

Die Hard
Love Actually
Home Alone
Gremlins

Toy Story 3. Not really a Christmas film, but we watched one year when the chatty members of the family weren’t here. Made me cry for so many reasons.

[Theland]

I hope this year we get some Steve Martin and John Candy films. Together in Trains Planes and Automobiles.
Loved Uncle Buck, Father Of The Bride, Parenthood.

Home Alone ( 'You Filthy Animals' )
Von Ryans Express
Zulu
Great Escape
Scrooge
I know that they are not ( mostly ) Christmas films but they are are on tv almost every Christmas.

I was going to say anything that gives me a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye - but I couldn't stand watching another party political broadcast :-)
