Sorry Woody, Elf the best family fun laugh your socks off crimbo film going. Alternatively if its a nostalgic cuddle up in front of the fire with a glass of shiraz type of night then What a Wonderful Life is hard to beat.

Although a great film I don't see Die Hard as a Christmas film just because the plot is set near to Christmas. For me, it has to be 'Its a Wonderful Life' with James Stewart.

Think I'm the only person who doesn't enjoy that film. Everyone seems to love it. Originally Posted by ncfcog

I suppose it's a childhood memory thing, a bit like White Christmas, which I really like as well but couldn't possibly admit to liking a Christmas musical on a testosterone fuelled football forum! Originally Posted by cher1

You're so right about childhood memories, that's why I love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (although not a Christmas film obviously).

We must be on the same wavelength. As you say, not a Christmas film but the one I most like watching at Christmas. I remember watching it as a child and being very afraid of the Childcatcher! Originally Posted by cher1

Yes, a wonderful film with the scariest baddie as MM says. Bit of trivia for you, there's a Medders lad in the film. My dad's best friend was working for Rolls Royce when the film was being made and was asked to look after the vintage cars on set. They let him appear several times in the film as the uniformed chauffeur. Notts supporters get everywhere. Originally Posted by ncfcog
