Christmas Movies and Sort of Christmas Movies

[mcfeez]

Basically, since its the time of year. What is your ultimate favourite Christmas movie?

Secondly - what is your favourite sort-of-Christmas-movie? So, not really a Christmas film but you associate it with the season anyway!

My fave Christmas movies are Elf or Love Actually.

Sort of movies - I always think Harry Potter has a Christmas feel, all the snow scenes at Hogwarts. And Mean Girls because of Jingle Bell Rock!

 

[calmyourritas]

I love The Grinch, Elf and Polar Express

not sure about sort of Christmas movies, does Edward Scissorhands count? I only ever watch it at Christmas and it feels Christmassy!

I love Elf, Miracle On 34th Street, It's A Wonderful Life.
Sort of Christmas movie - The Wizard Of OZ

Bridget Jones - definitely not a Christmas film, but it always seems to be on TV in December!

 

[openbook1]

I love The Polar Express, Home Alone 2 and Elf.

Almost Christmas movies: Bridget Jones.

 

[GiftedNotFree]

Elf, The Holiday and The Muppets Christmas Carol are my favourite Christmas films. I watch them every Christmas

While You Were Sleeping, Toy Story and Wreck It Ralph aren’t “Christmas” films per se, but I love to watch them at this time of year!

Bridget Jones - definitely not a Christmas film, but it always seems to be on TV in December!

Totally forgot about Bridget Jones. It feels like a Christmas time sort of film to me too!

Not to be Scrooge but I think Elf is shite

I like Home Alone 1&2, The Holiday & Love Actually

yes!! i don't know why everyone rates it... i put Elf on the other day and turned it off... awful film hahaha but Home Alone and the Holiday are superb... Love actually hasn't aged well with me... I watched it and was really annoyed with it too

I'm so glad to see someone else agrees with me about Elf. Everyone raves about that film, but I just find it very odd! In fact, its also a bit creepy!
However, I do love The Holiday, it is one of my favourite films ...and Home Alone 1+2 are good too

yes!! i don't know why everyone rates it... i put Elf on the other day and turned it off... awful film hahaha but Home Alone and the Holiday are superb... Love actually hasn't aged well with me... I watched it and was really annoyed with it too

Sorry Tinkerbell, Ive just caught up on this thread and I see you have already posted the same post as me. Great minds etc, etc,........

Seen another member comment about Edward scissor hands but not sure how this works I agree I only ever watch it at Christmas also! Don’t know why

The Muppets Christmas Carol is my ultimate Christmas film and I’m so excited to introduce it to my daughter this year!

I also love Love Actually no matter how cliche and terrible it is

Christmas Chronicles on Netflix was alright too.

In the last couple of years my go to has been Bad Moms Christmas, it really makes me laugh and has the right balance of some good old Christmas heart. It always makes me want to give my mum a big hug when I watch it

(and I also don't mind seeing Justin Hartley half naked in most of his scenes!)

My favourite "classics" are The Grinch, Miracle on 34th Street and Love Actually. I've fallen out of love with Love Actually as I get older but I've been watching it for years, it's tradition!

I also really like The Family Stone.

A Bad Mom's Christmas is amazing. It's objectively a terrible film. But I love it, it's iconic.


This line alone kills me.

I love a hallmark made for TV Christmas film. Normally a storyline where career woman ends up in small American Town where she ends up saving the Christmas show and falling in love with the man she originally took an instant dislike too.
