Christmas Movies and Sort of Christmas Movies

[Pushyplumb]

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.

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

Not to be Scrooge but I think Elf is shite

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

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!

Christmas
National lampoons christmas vacation
Just Friends
The elf
Polar express
The Muppets



Sort of christmassy
Wizard of Oz
Sound of music
Oliver twist

Just Friends (Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris) is my favourite xmas film. It pops up a few times on the TV guide throughout December yet I get blank looks if I mention it. No one seems to have heard of it

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!

My rating

Die Hard is a cracking Christmas film

Scrooged, Muppets Christmas Carol, Gremlins, A Christmas Story, It's A Wonderful Life are some of my faves.

I fucking hate Love Actually

Your Christmas or Mine on Amazon Prime is one of those rare things, a decent Christmas movie. And not in a cheesy Netflix way. Genuinely enjoyed if and chuckled a fair bit

 

[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!

 

[spamoclock]

Just putting in my vote for While You We’re Sleeping. Watched it a few days ago and it is such a sweet and funny film. So many great character actors/roles and a genuinely funny script. Not at all overdone or trying too hard either. It’s definitely aged well since the 90s

Miracle on 34th Street is a Christmas classic, both the original and 90s remake are on Disney plus

 

[SIZZLEg]

National lampoon's Xmas vacation has to be one of the best! Always watch it every year with the family never gets old

 

[Mark81]

This thread should have a love actually vs the holiday poll haha

This Is Christmas on Now TV/Sky is another great new Christmas film. I mean a proper one not Netflix type. Heartwarming but more in the holiday/love actually way

Possibly even better than Your Christmas or Mine on Amazon.

 

[StephenTJackson]

This is Christmas on Sky, so sweet. And Alfred Enoch is so fucking cute and adorable and he has this way of saying "hello" that makes me melt!

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

The ultimate classic White Christmas

Here's a secret ... I've never watched it! I've never seen 'It's A Wonderful Life' either

 

[Mark81]

Your Christmas or Mine has released on Amazon Prime. Trailer looks good

Stars the guy from Sex Education
