BAD SANTA IS MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE

 

Home alone is fantastic

 

Also who wouldn’t include Die Hard

Have not seen Bad Santa. Will have to check it out!

We are also firmly in the Die Hard is a Christmas Movie camp.

Love the arguments every year about whether die hard is a Christmas movie or not. 
to be honest, who cares, it’s a classic!

For me it’s die hard, elf and home alone as mentioned. 

but also Gremlins and we watch Frozen as it’s my daughters all time favourite

For us, Christmas Chronicles, Home alone, and then obvious Die Hard….. for the small man, Cory Carson's Christmas.

There is only one for me.
Scrooge, the musical from 1970 starring Albert Finney, Christmas would not be the same without seeing it at least at least once.

Here’s a classic movie from 1946. I watch it every Christmas Holiday Season. “It’s A Wonderful Life” with Jimmy Stewart.

I love it! This is such a good movie. Hard to get the kids to sit still long enough to watch, but such a good story with a good message.

Oh Gremlins!  I have not seen that one in a long time! I hadn’t thought of that one as a Christmas movie, but it totally fits.

Definitely. Love it. 80’s cheese, but let’s face it, great fun!

Yes yes. Love that movie. A bit dated now perhaps for newer generations but certainly a good one for the wife and I.

I still watch it at least a couple times a year and I would say that it holds replay value very well. There are just some classics that represent the decades they’re from very well and I would say this one fits the bill

I guess. My 7 year old finds it a bit weird but there’s certainly more dated films

Actually just thought of another one that my wife loves :

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Can’t see it listed above
