Did no-one mention The Wizard of Oz? I even did a ctrl-f to make sure. Gotta have The Wizard of Oz.

It wasn't on the list but it is now

If we're adding non-Christmassy films, like The Wizard of Oz (it's been a while since I've seen it, but I don't remember it being a Christmas film) then surely Willy Wonka or Trading Places should make the cut? Trading places is at least set during Christmas and New Year! :pac:

Loughc

I love trading places so that is absolutely making the list :P

That's it we are at 30 films. I will set up the first thread, as there is a mix of Traditional Christmas movies and movies we associate with Christmas, I am going to randomise the list. So the list on page one will not be the order we'll watch them.

I'll post up the new movie order and the first thread shortly.

I'm sorry, but I can't see the relevance of trading places to Christmas?? I've never heard of this movie - is it a Christmas movie??

It's set around Winter/Christmas time in New York and it's a regular Christmas TV listing favourite it's always shown at Christmas time usually on BBC.

Trading Places is SO GOOD. One of my all time favourites. That scene that Zaph posted the picture from is hilarious.



Edit: Loughc; Santa Claus the Movie isn't on the list!

(or is it? Is number 25, 'Santa Claus' the same film as 'Santa Claus the Movie?' If so, I stand corrected!)
