What is the greatest film of all time - at Xmas?

[Man of Harveys]

Which televised film do YOU most associate with breaking noisy, sprout-fuelled wind on the sofa, trying to get everyone to shut up so you can hear it - before falling asleep 10 minutes after it starts?

I'll go for BEN HUR.

EDIT - I do NOT try to get the noisy drunks in my family to shut up just so they can listen to my breaking wind. I meant the TELLY.

When I was a nipper it was always Wizard of Oz. During my flat / houseshare days it was a good old Bond movie so that we could play the fantastic James Bond DRINKING GAME. Nowadays it is 'It's a Wonderful Life' as it's Mrs GBs all time favourite movie, bless the over soppy mother of my child.

 

[Trufflehound]

Gotta be either The Great Escape or It's a Wonderful Life.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Its A Wonderful Life is the greatest ever Christmas film. However for wind breaking, family arguing Christmas fun, Escape to Victory.

 

[Gwylan]

Has to be It's a wonderful life. Christmas isn't Christmas without it.

Is the Bond drinking game similar to the Star Wars drinking game we played at Uni? Whenever your character is speaking you have to drink? Got through a film and a half of R2D2 before collapsing.

I have NEVER seen that film.

The ultimate in feel good films.

Also extensively used in one of the Red Dwarf books.

To this day, no one has ever attempted the Withnail and I drinking game and lived.

Those who do are recommended to attempt the Leaving Las Vegas drinking game or the Barfly drinking game.

 

[Trufflehound]

I have NEVER seen that film.

Take this man outside and shoot him, NOW!

I am right in thinking the Withnail and I drinking game involves drinking what your character is drinking?

 

[Trufflehound]

Yup.

 

[Common as Mook]

Home Alone.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Yup.

What is it that Withnail drinks out of desperation?

 

[Gwylan]

I have NEVER seen that film.

For all you know it could have dogs dressing up and everything

Similar yes. Basic rules are:

1) Prepare large alcoholic drink of choice
2) Down 1 finger for each gadget that gets used
3) Down 2 fingers for each time he beds a girl
4) Down the whole drink in one every time he says 'My name is Bond, James Bond'

5) After 1 - 2 films depending on content pass out
6) Get rudely awakened by sprout induced flatulence
7) Repeat

What are the rules for playing this in the cinema during the new Bond film?

 

[Trufflehound]

Lighter fluid.



The ironic thing about Withnail & I is that Richard E Grant is actually a teetotaller...

 

[Guinness Boy]

What are the rules for playing this in the cinema during the new Bond film?

1) Don't get caught
2) Try to cut down on the sprouts before hand or you'll be thought inconsiderate by your fellow cinema goers
3) If the game goes successfully do not get the train home or you'll end up sleeping in Chichester station
