    Just in relation to Christmas films, i'm thinking of buying a load of classic christmas films from Amazon as they seem to be good value - would Amazon be the best place to get them or is there somewhere else that's better value?:)

    I always watch Love Actually as I put up the tree. In late november :D

    Why so much love for Home Alone? I can't remember anything vaguely christmassy in there - but I can't watch that movie anymore cos I have a thing about bare feet on sharp edges.

    I don't classify it as a Christmas film myself but Its set around Christmas time, the family is on their Christmas holidays in it, there's Christmas songs on the soundtrack, you get the point... :P

    there is a film I once watched...it was during a blizzard around Christmas, I was snuggled up in a blanket and the fire was blazing. The film I think was called something like A Winter's Tale - it featured a woman who was kidnapped and the kidnapper chopped off her fingers - she was a piano player I think. It was set in winter and it was snowing in the film also. It wasn't a christmas film but everytime I think of that film I remember Christmas and be so snug in my blanket with the fire on and the christmas tree twinkling. I have never actually seen the film since - can anyone enlighten me as to the film. I would love to see it again for nostalgia's sake.

    Trapped In Paradise is a Christmas Guilty Pleasure of mine,

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111477/


    Also Scrooged is a fantastic Christmas Movie, but if I only had one to watch, it has to be the Muppets Christmas Carol!! :)

    Ordered a few Christmas films from Amazon at the weekend - The Bishops Wife, Polar Express, Home Alone 2, The Santa Clause, Prancer, Elf and White Christmas! The others i need to add to my collection are It's a Wonderful Life and Holiday Inn (couldnt get a good enough deal on Amazon for those though so think i'll wait a while or have a look in town):D

    So hard to choose just one!

    It would always have been Home Alone, but Love Actually is catching up. Probably still Home Alone though, by a whisker.

    Holiday Inn, or Singing in the Rain are my top two oldies.

    Elf or the first Santa Clause are my two more modern faves.:)
