Love Actually is lovely. Great stuff!

I feel it in my fingers,
I feel it in my toes,
Christmas is all around me,
and so the feeling grows

You gave your presents to me
And I gave mine to you
I need Santa beside me
In everything I do

Classic stuff!

That's just not good enough! I demand you view them immediately!

I haven't seen nightmare before christmas either. Not the biggest Tim Burton fan.

Tom Dunne

Can't believe nobody mentioned Bad Santa.

Possibly the only 18's rated Christmas film. Not for kids, but brilliantly cynical. And the cameo by a certain well known police officer at the end had me in stitches.

Snow Day

alexcorb1991

a charlie brown christmas and in fact the others too like race for your life, charlie brown

Agricola

To divert for a second from films that are explicitly about Xmas to films that are perfect for watching over the xmas period....

Indiana Jones and the last Crusade - Not the earlier ones which i think are pants. But this film is a great adventure flick for xmas.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - Spaced out over Xmas Eve, Xmas Day and Stephens Day maybe. Epicness.

CombatCow

Ah yeah it wouldn't be christmas without Die Hard on the telly, also Willy wonka and the chocolate factory,A Muppet Christmas Carol or Scrooged.

I think I must have watched it a certain time of my life, but the film made a lasting impact on me. Hhahah don't know why. That christmas I watched it again on rte(i had seen it before 3 yrs previously) I was about 13 and it was probably my favourite christmas ever. so ye i was obsessed with the girl in it schuyler fisk(the ginger one) ahahha even had a letter i was gonna send to her. :rolleyes:

The original charlie and the chocolate factory gets watched every christmas day in our house. Not technically a christmas film but it always will remind me of christmas

Ho- Ho- Ho...

Have to agree.
Add in DIE HARD 2 for good measeure.

Also National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. Classic.
"We are going to press on and have the hap-hap-happiest christmas since Bing Crosby tapped danced with Danny ****in Kay! And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse!"
