In the Bleak Midwinter is on Youtube though in 10 parts. Although made in 1975 it is a black and white film. It's a 15 cert film so presumably has content might might offend.

For me it has to be It's A Wonderful Life. Watch it every year! I'd also like to make a point of seeing Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas this year, (both available on YouTube) 

Polar Express.

I love It's A Wonderful Life and watch it every Christmas Eve. 

Miracle on 34th Street, Home Alone, Scrooge (Alastair Sim version) and The Muppet's Christmas Carol are also favourites.

On the recommendation of others, I've got Elf to watch on DVD this year.

I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them atm.

Home Alone 2. Ain't embarrassed either.

The Muppet's Christmas Carol is my favourite thing to watch at Christmas  

That's one of my faves too Yogi

 

We have good taste, ladies.

Thank you, El Loro!  I never think of looking for films on Youtube

Some good choices there, a couple of which I've never seen.

 

Mr A has acquired a sort of festive fondness for Die Hard!

Has to be Wonderful Life for me ....but like Yogi I like watching the Alistair Sim version of Scrooge ........ and the Great Escape ...which has a special place in my heart for family reasons 

I love the Blackadder and Muppet versions of A Christmas Carol but my favourite 'normal' version is the one with the wonderful George C Scott playing Ebenezer Scrooge.  Just brilliant

I've just bought that on blu-ray.

 

Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence

 

That Die Hard @ Christmas.

 

I admit to owning the Die Hard films on DVD.

Another cracker (see what I did there?) of a Christmas film is 'Bernard and the Genie' with Rowan Atkinson.  This too is not available on DVD but, thanks to El Loro's earlier advice, I have discovered that it is available on Youtube.  Hurrah!

Die Hard - as mentioned above by several FM's!

 

Yippee ki-ay,Santa!

The Bishop's Wife.

 

He don't say that exactly    

Oh I looooooooooove christmas films!!!!!!

White christmas is a favourite of mine. I love it's a wonderful life, elf, grinch, home alone...
I'm enjoying many of the smaller budget films that they show on the christmas channels on sky too

 

 

• Brazil
• 101 Reykjavik
• Crash
• High Crimes
• Rise of the Guardians
• Trading Places
• 12 Monkeys
• The Apartment
• Citizen Kane
• The Bourne Identity
• Expendables 2

Scrooged with Bill Murray is my absolutely favourite Christmas film!

 Its great Hoochie  I like the ghost [can't remember which one] that keeps bashing him!

I like any version to be honest but favourite is Alistair Sim version of Scrooge and Muppet Christmas Carol 

Just read through the Xmas TV Times and a lot of the films we've mentioned are being shown somewhere over the Xmas period  

Cripes!  The Festive TV magazines have hit the streets already.  It's almost upon us, then!

Another of my favourite festive films is the Alan Ayckborn play 'Absurd Person Singular'.  Made by the BBC, I believe, back in the 1980s,  it was shown once and then never seen again.  Another one that didn't make it to DVD.  I think this probably means that most of the films I like are so ghastly that no-one can bear to see them again so they disappear without trace.  'Absurd Person Singular' had an excellent cast, though, including Michael Gambon, Prunella Scales, Nicky Henson, Cheryl Cambell, Geoffrey Palmer and Maureen Lipman.  Wickedly funny.

I haven't really got a favourite. Being at work most of the time, I rarely got a chance to see anything.

 

I did buy Wonderful life a few years ago on DVD and still haven't seen it   And Polar I only saw a couple of years ago   

I like something light and fluffy like Love Actually and my daughter and I love an afternoon watching the entire series of Pride and Prejudice ( The Liz Earle/Colin Firth one)

oddly enough i think die hard2 is a bit christmassy aswell

but

its a wonderful life is the best christmas film ever for me
