Christmas Movies

[That Jekka Gal]

It's started. Last night, for the first time I've managed it all the way through, it was It's a Wonderful Life.

It was good - I thought George's back story was a bit longwinded but the final third of the film, where it all happens, was well worth the wait.

Next up - Bad Santa.

It's November. Too early.

 

[Ayahuasca]

You still pretending to be a naughty girl for Santa?

 

[Scuzi]

It would have to be "Farewell Mr. Kringle".

Farewell Mr. Kringle (TV Movie 2010) ⭐ 5.9 | Comedy, Romance

1h 23m | G

A magazine journalist who no longer celebrates Christmas visits the quaint town of Mistletoe to blog about an inspirational - albeit questionably delusional - man who parades around pretending to be someone else on an internet forum the real Santa Claus.

There is only one Christmas film worth watching and that is Elf.

Elf (2003) ⭐ 7.1 | Adventure, Comedy, Family

Oh god it's that time of year again, when my partner always puts on all those identikit generic American made straight for TV Xmas movies, which are just excruciatingly schmaltzy

these are my guilty pleasure, but I will wait until December 1st to start watching them.

Bad Santa is great for kids.

Is it nearly that time where my wife makes us watch Santa Claus The Movie for the 100th time?

Well there's also Lethal Weapon and Gremlins

Watched Violent Night last year, great Xmas movie

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

I struggle to regard Die Hard 1/2 as Christmas films as I've always watched them at other times of the year and Christmas itself isn't much of a backdrop or plot device throughout much of the 2 films.

My favourite Christmas film is The Snowman.

[Grimley]

Has to be Gremlins for me. I was working in a Cinema at the time it 1st showed. It was up against Ghostbusters at the time in the Rival Cinema up the road, I think it did quite well.

Die Hard, Home Alone, Lethal Weapon

Bad Santa is great for kids.

Particularly the directors cut , which is one of the few directors cuts shorter than the original , after they cut any soppy stuff out that the studio forced them to add to the cinema cut .

Used to have it on Dvd , hopefully it's still available.
