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

[Barrel of Fun]

I have NEVER seen that film.

Ditto. It looks far too sickly sweet to watch. After gorging myself on Turkey and all, I'll be damned if I am watching that!

 

[Man of Harveys]

You fine GDC chaps could get themselves a portable DVD player for those long train journeys...as if you need encouraging...

You'll be telling us you didn't cry during Lassie 2005 next...

 

[Eggmundo]

Agree with Its a wonderful life . Never understood the fascination with it untill I watched it, now a regular every Christmas.
But truly Christmas isn't Christmas without the Griswalds.
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation everytime.

The trouble is one of our lot would swap said player for a case of Bow in Bargin Booze.

 

[Uncle Buck]

If the game goes successfully do not get the train home or you'll end up sleeping in Chichester station

Ending up in Chichester station after a day on the beer, that would never happen to anyone we know.

Oh no no no no no no no no.....

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Scrooge - The old one with Alastair Sims in it.

 

[Gwylan]

Scrooge - The old one with Alastair Sims in it.

You mean A Christmas Carol. Scrooge is a (not very good musical) starring Albert Finney.

The Sim CC is the dog's bollocks.

 

[Sid James]

It's a Wonderful Life is my favourite film, Xmas or not.

If you haven't seen it I would give it a go and would guess that it will be a love or hate experience.

Oh come on it has to be The Great Escape

 

[smudge]

The Great Escape, Where Eagles Dare.

Nothing captures the Christmas spirit better than any movie where we give Jerry a good shoe-ing!

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Miracle on 34th Street

 

[Gwylan]

The Great Escape ...

Er... have you ever seen the Great Escape?

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

Scrooged, what an all time classic Christmas film. Bill Murray in excellent form, and the angel (ghost of Christmas present) cracks me up every time.

 

[Hunting 784561]

'Its a Wonderful Life' is the best film EVER.

If you ever feel like you need a large dose of optimism when things get bad, then watch this film.

My family are forced to watch it every Christmas Eve afternoon, its now part of our christmas build up .

miracle on 42nd st (with richard attenbrough as 'chris chringle'- a bit PC, but well worth watching, to the end where he- ah, that would be giving it away..!)

gladiator. great action, great story. wel lworth the oscar haul.

home alone. a classic for all ages, especially the chase around the house..

 

[algie]

Gladiator is probably my favorite film.Like you say,great story line.Brave Heart is another good film but shame the Yanks can't stick to history.

 

[Goodfella]

'Polar Express'

 

[London Calling]

Still must be the Great Escape, with the Stev McQueen bike chase!¬

A classic Boxing Day film.
