    :) I think The Bishops Wife with Cary Grant is a lovely Christmas movie.

    Love Actually. Not really a Christmas movie as such but just based around christmas time.

    A Muppet Family Christmas. It's got the Muppets, Fraggles and the Sesame Street cast. What's not to love?

    Has to be Polar Express for me - myself and the little fella learned the words of 'When Christmas come to town' when he was about 5 (he's 9 now) and the DVD is kept in pristine condition (unlike every other DVD I've bought him over the years!)...Love it, love it, love it:D

    Oh, and Elf!! Another favourite of mine:D

    Here's the polar express song...

    I watch a ton of Christmas films, but my one annual tradition is The Polar Express with my mum. Don't have it on dvd so we wait til it comes on the tv (for the sake of nostalgia - back in the day when you couldn't rewind live tv and if you missed it you bloody well missed it! :D) and that's usually very near Christmas. The music is beautiful and so are the visuals.

    Aside from that, the usuals include The Santa Clause, Gremlins, Trading Places, It's A Wonderful Life, Jack Frost, Snow Day, Fluke, Jingle All The Way, and usually at some point despite my protests, Home Alone gets put on in the background. Also in my house Star Trek Generations is considered Christmassy and sometimes gets a watch :D

    I have to take um-bridge with the association of pre-DVR days (on a 2004 film, no less!) and 'back in the day'..!

    Seesh, youngsters these days!

    On the surface I was sure I'd hate it but it turned out to be more of the most accurate Christmas films I've seen, it just seemed to capture that sense of claustrophobia, festivities and family that define Christmas. I really want to give it another watch this year.

    The Bishop's Wife was recommended to me by a wonderful friend and it's an equally wonderful Christmas film:

    They've been going on True Movies for at least the last week - 1 or 2 movies every night, it looks like. They're all sappy American saccharin laced nonsense, but if you're doing anything Christmassy and looking for background noise...

    Has anybody seen the film Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale? I've just stumbled across it and the word of mouth is extremely positive. Any other non-Hollywood unusual Christmas films out there worth seeing?

    What's your favourite Christmas film?

    I always watch Love Actually the night we put up our tree, at this stage it doesn't feel like Christmas until I've seen it.

    I always love watching the Santa Clause, Muppets Christmas Carol, Elf, Home Alone and the Grinch in the run up to it :)
