Christmas Films

It's funny and scary at the same time and there is a new 3D version out at the cinema at the mo which is supposed to be v.good. Hope to see that soon.
 
Santa Claus the Movie
Miracle on 34th Street
Mrs Santa Claus

Return to Oz always makes me feel Christmassy too because I recorded it off the tv(1989 or 1990 I think) at xmas time so my copy had all the old Christmas aRAB(mainly January sales sofa and kitchen aRAB) and ITV Christmas indents. I've got it on DVD now(so minus all the seasonal stuff) but it still reminRAB me of childhood Christmases.
 
I too like most of the films already mentioned. I would add
'The Tailor of Gloucester' by Beatrix Potter
and
'Mickey's Christmas Carol'.
My two children loved them.
 
Another vote for 'It's a Wonderful Life'. A classic film - not just a classic Christmas film. If you've not seen it before try to keep an eye out for it over December. I'd expect it to be on sometime.
 
Muppets Christmas Carol & Love Actually. Very fond of Santa Claus - The Movie (not so much the whole elf runs away storyline, but for all the magical stuff at the beginning and when santa flies out in his sleigh for the first time... wonderful!) & Miracle on 34th Street - the original.

Ooh! Almost forgot.. fantastic film - The Bishop's Wife - Cary Grant is an ice skating/tree decorating angel and David Niven is the Bishop. one of my favourites!
 
Christmas With The Kranks..I loved the book by John Grisham & they for once made a good film adaptation.


The 2 Muppet Christmas films are also good.

And as a kid I loved Miracle On 24th Street.

Falling In Love with Robert DeNiro & Meryl Streep is another faourite
 
Has anybody seen the cartoon made by the same people as The Snowman called Grandpa. It is without doubt the saddest film ever made and I cried buckets when it was on TV one Christmas - totally embarrassing myself in front of my in-laws who were round at the time. I could never watch it ever again.
 
I had forgotten The Nightmare Before Christmas and Beatrix Potter's Tailor of Gloucester my son loved them but he won't thank me for tell you now :p the times we had to sit and watch them
 
i like the old classics of 'christmas carol'...the one with Alistair Sim springs to mind as well as the more jumpy albert finney one:D as two of the best i have seen
 
For a traditional film,It's A Wonderful Life.For something a bit different and which pretty much sums up my feelings....

The Nightmare Before Christmas!
