Does anyone else have any favourite Xmas films that they like to watch to make them feel all festive??Films that you only usually watch at Xmas? Me and the kids like to watch 'Elf' great Xmas comedy with Will Ferrell, and 'A Muppet Xmas Carol' great fun! And not forgetting Raymond Briggs 'The snowman' of course!

I would have to agree with you sooty, Elf is one of my favorites, and I must confess I've never seen "It's a wonderful life" I will have to look out for it this christmas, it's bound to be on tv.

If I recall correctly, because I haven't seen it for years, 'It's a wonderful life' is about a guy who wishes to end his life and is visited by his guardian angel who then shows him how different things would be if he had never existed, and that his life had changed the course of events for many others.It's an old black and white film with James Stewart, but I see there is a brand new colourized version out on DVD.
Anyone seen the new Disney animation of'A Christmas Carol'yet?I was wondering if it was any good.

Scrooge The Musical - Albert Finney at his best! It's a tradition in our house to watch it on Christmas Eve.

One of the films I love watching and it's become a kind of tradition at this time of year is to see National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. I never tire of seeing it

It's not a traditional Christmas film, but Bad Santa is very good as well!

The first two home alone's were good but for me Christmas season is really started till I've seen Scrooge (both Alber finney and Alastair Sim) But Christmas day has to be the great escape. I know that its not christmasy but gotta watch it.
