Holiday season films and shows! TV/Cinema

[Oohthedrama]

I’ve watched every single Netflix and hallmark Christmas film, I should be embarrassed,

I’m not

 

[StephenTJackson]

Charlie's Angels bombed BIG time
I do wanna see last Christmas. I LOVE a good hallmark Christmas film, it sounds like it would be the same

I’m gonna see Charlie’s Angels knowing it’s gonna be shit, I just need to confirm it. Nobody can top Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu. They are my angels!

Last Christmas is definitely Hallmark Christmas film kinda trash, and that’s kind of why I liked it, it was easy trashy viewing. George Michael turned in his grave for every version of Last Christmas in the film though - some were truly diabolical.

Let it Snow on Netflix, proper trashy teen/YA Christmas film, again, I really enjoyed it even though there wasn’t anything particularly great about it.

Relocated from another thread.

That cats trailer is all kinds of weird.
I'm not a fan.

Christmas With A View on Netflix is pretty decent, very cheesy hallmark type and Scott Cavalheiro is

Saw it On youtube a while ago

Christmas with a prince has the same girl in it (there are 2 films, it’s Tragic so obviously worth watching them both )

Another classic 1 Star hallmark

Bad Santa is my kind of Christmas film On Sky Cinema

Cats is weird in general. The original movie and stage show are both weird and awful.

that’s the one! And his brother gets engaged to his ex fiancée

I can’t remember the name of it but I enjoyed one where a dr had to take a job in Alaska and when she goes to the shop to get some suitable clothes she’s blown away by the jeans as they have sweatpants on the inside amazing.

Christmas under wraps- and I’ve watched that this week. It’s fabulously cheesy but love them, slowly working through My5 there are loads on there! Mrs Miracle, gingerbread Christmas, Christmas in evergreen- too many to mention. Watched one last year called Christmas getaway but can’t find it this year- sometime My5 have the title but a different film (or there are 2 cheesy films with the same name)

I’ve seen it too! But just once when I was about 9 , I caught it by chance on tv, I’m guessing the first year it was on. I remember really loving it because it was so festive and I guess aimed at my demographic... and then s club7 showed up and I couldn’t believe it, as at the time they were my favourite thing in the world. I was already loving it so at that point I almost died of excitement. I guess you could say it was like Christmas for me (sorry)
That’s all I remember. I kind of want to watch it again , i wonder if it’s on YouTube ...

Last time I checked it was on youtube! That's where I've been watching it the last few years (used to have it on VHS and DVD lol)

Back on Cats, the first trailer created such an Internet furore for all the wrong reasons, but it seems like they are kind of embracing it. Maybe I’m reading too much into it but the official account tweeted “Twitter you should be the first to know” before the new trailer came out, like they were acknowledging how much twitter ripped it to shreds last time? Though looking at the comments just now some people seem genuinely excited without a hint of irony so who knows ?
To me it looks like an utter nightmare to sit through. The songs are annoying and obviously the costumes are very creepy and uncanny. Something about them making the human-cat things cat sized freaks me out too. I wouldn’t have even watched the first trailer if my mate hadn’t insisted. I will be avoiding the new one.

I’ve got a Christmas film I love that’s quite niche/ controversial. Anyone seen Murray Christmas (think that’s its real name). Bill Murray’s Netflix special? It’s one of those which the context I watched it made a huge impact- my friends and I discovered it by chance one drunken night just before Christmas 3 years ago. It was so baffling and weird and we were as drunk as bill Murray is all the way through the film, it’s become a tradition and we now watch it each year. I’ve heard other people saying they hate it but I think if you go in with the right attitude - expecting something knowingly absurd, but fun, full of celebrities mainly playing themselves and odd versions of Christmas songs, it’s avtually quite festive! Bill’s duet with Miley Cyrus is my personal highlight.

Saw the trailer for it while at the cinema watching Last Christmas (both awful, cliche, and kind of trashy good at the same time), and I was just utterly baffled by the whole trailer. Certainly won’t be going to watch that, I’ll go see Charlie’s Angels instead - to inevitably be disappointed by another reboot.

Christmas with a prince- The Royal Baby and Christmas edition Sugar Rush has been my Netflix viewing!
I thought I was the only one who loved the made for Hallmark Christmas movies...this is like therapy

 

[Peachbomb]

I bloody love them and I have absolutely no shame so I’ll admit it.
you won’t find one I haven’t watched, the worse the better

Oh my goodness, I love them too! Highlights for me have been Snow Bride and Christmas Kiss (he doesn’t recognise her because she had glitter on her face )

 

[StephenTJackson]

Fave Xmas films has to be Love Actually & The Holiday!

Also love this tv film from the 90's called Greatest Store in the World (it has a cameo from S Club lol), it's crap but I used to watch it on repeat so it's so nostalgic for me! It's on youtube so I watch it every year

Greatest Store in the World is iconic!

Watched Klaus with my youngest tonight. Managed to stay awake - it was quite sweet actually with beautiful artwork.

Saw the Christmas Chronicles last year and that was pretty good.

But nothing tops the Muppet Christmas Carol.

I also love 'The man who invented Christmas' so if you like Christmas Carol and Dickens then this is a must watch

 

[Porkiepies]

Has anyone watched Home for Christmas? Thoughts? What is with the ending?

The Netflix TV show? I thought naked spa date was a wtf moment but the ending...I thought there was another episode and was a bit confused it had ended.
