"Favourite Christmas film"

Tis the season!
So what’s everyone’s favourite/most treasured Christmas movie?

Along with It’s A Wonderful Life, National Lampoon's Christmas, Home Alone, Die Hard, Muppet’s Christmas Carol, I’d have to say my personal fav is ‘A Christmas Story’.

(From Play.com) The funniest thing about Christmas, according to Jean Shepherd's over-the-top holiday comedy, is spending it with your own family. In 1940's Indiana, nine-year-old Ralphie dreams of his ideal Christmas gift: a genuine Red Ryder 200-shot Carbine Action Air Rifle. But when his gruff dad and doting mom regularly respond with "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!" Ralphie mounts a full-scale hint-dropping, Santa begging campaign. In this tale you'll be caught up in all kinds of childhood calamities from snowsuit paralysis to the yellow-eyed Scotty Farkus affair to the dreaded tongue-on-a-frozen flagpole gambit.

If you’ve never seen it, I recommend it.

Yes thats the one, but it's weird cos it's spelt 'Santa Claus'! It's the one with Dudley Moore & John Lithgow in...

Santa Clause the Movie purchance?

Jingle all the way!

Wow! You all brought back my memories! I love almost every single Xmas film u lot put! Faves though are Nightmare before Xmas, Muppets Christmas Carol... There's also another one, I 'think' it called 'Santa Clause', I can't remember, it's pretty rare, sometimes it's on every xmas or every other xmas... but it's not the 'Santa Clause' with that Home Improvement guy in! Anyone heard of it?

Jingle All the Way is all that springs to mind. Great film. So under appreciated by people who hate Arnie. FOOLS!

Ahhh crap completly forgot Scrooged and National Lampoons.

Both films rule.

don't you mean miracle on 34th street?

Miracle on 34 avenue (I think): the one with Richard Attenborough claiming that he really is Santa (he works in a large superstore) and is susequently taken to court.
