What are some of your favourite Christmas films to watch? Do you have any that you dislike?

[pgn]

Hogfather, by Terry Pratchett, is a favourite in our house.

Not keen on Die Hard as a Christmas movie... 

[MI5]

Towering Inferno is my all time favourite but the Polar Express is also up there on the list.

The only one I've seen from the ones you mentioned @pgn and @MI5 is Die Hard. Why don't you like it though?

[pgn]

Die Hard takes place at Christmas, but is not a Christmas movie in the same sense that The Snowman, The Polar Express, Elf or Scrooged (the Bill Murray film!) are "about" Christmas.

I also think that neither Home Alone nor Batman returns, whilst set at Christmas, are really "christmas movies".

Why do I choose "Hogfather"? It's about belief...

It's a Wonderful Life and White Christmas are my favourites. Oldies but goodies.

I think the Grinch with Jim Carrey might be my favourite Christmas film, have you seen that one guys?

[Anonymous]

favourite - Mary Poppins

worst - anything with Christmas in it!

yeah I know MP ain’t about Christmas but it’s always on at this time of year!

[Cleoriff]

A Christmas Carol, Polar Express and Miracle on 34th Street...

[pgn]

The Grinch is a good family movie at Christmas too, yep. Thinking about it, that's why Die Hard's not on my list - it isn't an all-ages family viewing item, with drugs, office shenanigans and 18 or so bodies...
