Christmas films

[Demosthenes]

"Die Hard is the best Christmas movie" is whatever the male version of 'basic' is.

Miracle on 34th Street is the one that always comes to mind. I don't remember ever seeing it, but I remember seeing it advertised around Christmas time every single year.

Home Alone 1 & 2 are the only ones that resonate with my 90s childhood. I'm always happy to watch Bad Santa or Die Hard as an adult.

I like watching Bruce Willis off bad guys plus nobody rocks a beater like him.

 

[Cleavy]

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

I’ve never liked those movies, not saying they are bad or anything, they just don’t do anything for me for some reason.

I love them. Especially the second. I think I have watched it at least once a year since it was released.

Sometimes people post things on Bigfooty and it sticks in your mind for years and becomes emblematic of that poster's qualities (in your mind at least)
For me, I remember you saying nice things about Jimmy Stewart. And after a quick search, I've found it was 6 years ago in the Bay 13 survivor thread:

Man do you enjoy anything? you're like an older, less wordy Silent Alarm

Less wordy is good

Many things, most of them boring.

For what it's worth my favourite Christmas film is Le Père Noel Est Une Ordure.

Ordure

Home Alone for the nostalgia. My mum always put in on when we were kids and it got me excited for Christmas. I always wanted to live in a big house with a giant attic in somewhere like Chicago at Christmas after seeing that movie.

Watched Jingle All The Way the other week. Not seen it in years, but bloody hell it's good.

Watched Elf, didn't rate it. Won't watch it again.

Die Hard as others mentioned. Bad Santa is also quality.

Elf is s**t, like everything Will Ferrel does.

Bad Santa is great though.

So far I've watched The Grinch, Elf and Home Alone 2. Before Christmas I'll most likely watch the following:

Home Alone
Love Actually
Bad Santa
Christmas Vacation
A Charlie Brown Christmas
The Office Christmas Specials
A Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart version)
It's a Wonderful Life
Joyeux Noel
