Favorite Xmas Film

[JJ McClure]

Scrooged ,my favorite Christmas movie was on last night. Which includes a quality trailer for "The Night The Raindeer Died" starring Lee Majors. Bill Murray at his best.

What's everyone else's favorite Chrimble film?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Not a Xmas film, but only on at Xmas - Soccer Dog. Absolute genius

Willy Wonka!!!!

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I believe it was Spike Lee. I can outline the story for you:

Due to a bizarre loophole in a U11 soccer team (it's a US film), a dog is allowed to turn out for the team. The dog is pretty useful and leads the team to the final with his skillful dribbling & great left feet & right feet. However, the evil coach of the final opponents steals Soccer Dog. But, the kids now believe in themselves & take the game to Extra Time. Soccer Dog then escapes & gets put on for the final 30. A minute from the end the right winger flights a great ball to the backpost, and Soccer Dog rises like a salmon & plants a firm header past the keeper. Eruption!!

A truly magnificent film

It's got to be "ZULU!" with Michael Caine

 

[CHAPPERS]

Home Alone by a country mile.

 

[Gwylan]

Obvious really but I still like "It's a wonderful life". I also love the 1950s' version of "A Christmas carol".

God bless us, every one.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I woke up at 4 this morning. Couldn't get back to sleep, so watched It Happened One Night with Clark Gable. Dabnabbit, what a beauty. Its not Christmassy, but i suppose the Capra sensibilities, humour and romance touched me somewhere.
Not "there".

I've seen Soccer Dog. Its up there with Most Valuable Primate as the best animal sports film of the last 30 years.

 

[Yorkie]

It's a wonderful life - James Stewart.

 

[Mental Lental]

Good call on Scrooged!

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Die Hard for me though.

And the christmas episode of Bottom.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

The Muppet's Christmas Carol. Undoubtedly Michael Caine's finest acting performance.



Home Alone gets me feeling all festive too.

 

[Easy 10]

I absolutely adore The Grinch. Jim Carrey is superb in that, he cracks me up.

 

[Marshy]

Miracle on 34th Street !

 

[CAFC Matt]

Home Alone by a country mile.

I havce to agree with that, but I saw Elf yesterday and it was very good with funny moments

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

It's a Wonderful Life.

I saw it for the first time about four years ago. It is a classic.

I also like the Great Escape.
