Recommend a good Christmas movie which someone else may not have seen before?

@dowie - Scrooged and Elf, the most watched Christmas films EVER do not count in this thread.

OK Boomer

Scrooged is from the 80s, like before some current members were even born. Elf is over 15 years old too.

I'm not sure if others would think it good but I enjoyed it, it's not your average Christmas movie though.

Krampus

i was going to say that!

how about: rare exports

 

[Chojin]

Bernard and the Genie

Not seen it on TV in about 20 years

 

[goldy6660]

The new Klaus film on Netflix looks fantastic.

 

[Gimpymoo]

Oooh...

That looks awesome. Just the kind of gem I was looking for.

Thank you.

Christmas under wraps.

It was on in June for some reason on some obscure channel and I ended up watching it.. very predictable but also quite fun.

Is it a Christmas movie if it's just set at Christmastime? If so:
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

The Ice Harvest - I'm a sucker for John Cusack films

We watched Knight Before Christmas on Netflix yesterday, typical christmas romcom with some chuckles and a pleasing-on-the-eye Hudgens.

It has to be Bad Santa, surely????

I love Olive, The Other Reindeer

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0227173/

Few seem to have heard of it/seen it. It's pretty short (45mins), but has a good voice cast and a good mix of kid/adult jokes.

Santa Claus: The Movie (1985)

Die Hard

You are right, never heard of it, looks great Christmas viewing

Thanks.

Whilst not an unknown, i only watched It's a Wonderful Life for the first time last year and can see what all the fuss was about.

Because it’s so old and in black and white, this is generally true. I bought the colourised version on Blu-ray and it’s easier to watch than the black and white one. Whatever one you see will be superb. From the time when films had plots and dialogue...

A good one to get your brats sat down with to watch at christmas is Threads.
In fact dont save it for christmas - watch it anytime.

Such a bright and breezy outlook the film has, especially around the middle where things get really bright and breezy.

 

[EYEREX]

Will put the kettle on if anyone wants to watch a few Hallmark movies "my Plex server"

Those were the days, watched this as part of an English class as a young teen (the teacher was a loose cannon - she is/was a legend). Would come in on Monday with black eye/bruises from protesting (anti fox hunting/anti nuclear). Not one student bawled/complained having watched the film. The film sticks though.

I'll never forget one Christmas (no lie) Watership Down. I think as it was animated a slight misjudgment - To be fair, not a peep from the audience.

National Lampoons, Christmas Vacation

 

[cheesyboy]

Not obscure, but on the subject of Christmas Movies, I noticed Amazon Prime has Groundhog Day in the Xmas movies category: pretty sure it's set at the end of winter, so February or something

I guess it does have snow...

 

[wolfie138]

Reindeer Games

 

[Fluke?]

Oooh...

That looks awesome. Just the kind of gem I was looking for.

Thank you.

Blimey totally forgot about this one. Top film!
