I've been looking around the boards lately and there arn't too many festive themed posts so I thought it would be nice to talk about christmas movies. Now I know most of them are total cr@pola but there are some wicked ones.
For me the best christmas movie has to be Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas!
I love everything about this movie, the music the animation, the theme, just so weird and wonderful.
Not checked the tv guide but I hope theyre showing it, as it aint christmas for me without this being on TV!
-
Nice to see a Festive topic.
It's a tough choice but I would have to go for ... It's a Wonderful Life.
It's an absolute classic and pushes all the right Christmas buttons for me.

A CHRISTMAS STORY, hands down!!
-
Enchanted because of the ginger princess :evil:
-
Jingle all the way. Arnuld kicking loads of Santas in the crotch and battling against his neighbour, the guy who voices Troy Mcclure. Inspired film-making.

Phil Hartman. The man was a COMEDIC GENIUS!!

Howard Langston: Jamie, let me talk to your mother.
Jamie Langston: She's next door pettin' Ted.
Classic.

Comon people you know the best christmas movie ever is Scrooged with Bill Murray...heart warming at the end, but a comedy classic
-
The only one I can think of right now is Bad Santa.
-
Die Hard.
You know I'm right![/i]
-
Bad santa is a classic..so is miricle on 34th st.old version even the new one
-
It has to be 'It's a Wonderful Life'............
'Scrooged' a close second
'Santa Claus The Movie' in third, simply becasue of Dudley Moore, and John Lithgow doing his insane bad guy bit that he does so well (see Cliffhanger! :wink: )
-
Die Hard.
You know I'm right!
I think you probably are. :D
I also like the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol (with Alistair Sim as Scrooge).
And Black Christmas.
-
:D + 1 for Die Hard
:D 8)
-
Tim Burton's Nightmare....... is great. So is The Grynch and of course both Muppets X-mas movies. And let's not forget Gremlins!
-
+1 for die hard. I think i mentioned it last year (i'm nearly sure there was a thread on this last year, haha)
-
I know its Xmas when the stick Home Alone on ITV.
-
I'll take your Die Hard & raise you one Lethal Weapon :twisted:

Not a chance.
Mel Gibson pretending to be mad by messing his hair up and jumping off a building does not compete with Bruce W kicking terrorist ass. Not for a second.

I'm with TO here-"Fa ra ra ra raaaa ra raa raaaa raaaaa!"

From what I've read, it seems A Christmas Story has a big cult following in the US, but it's pretty much unknown here in the UK. I've certainly never seen it.
(As mentioned above, I like Bob Clark's other, very different, Christmas movie, Black Christmas!)
-
yes, one channel carries it 24 hours straight!
-
It's got to be ELF haha
I don't really like it but it has Will Ferrel in it who is hilarious!
-
disney version of 'a christmas carol' i watch it every year and it still cracks me up
-
I'll stick in a vote for Die Hard.
But Hard Boiled is good too (even if not a Christmas film)
-
A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim. Probably should have clarified what constitutes a 'Xmas' movie and those movies that occur at Xmas. :wink:
-
I'll stick in a vote for Die Hard.

Not only another forum member who has heard of Hard Boiled the greatest action film ever made bar non imho but [ gulps ! ] a woman :o
Will you marry me !!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Crazy Joe you`ve just gone down in my estimation. Will Ferrel has never been funny on film in his entire career only the Blue Oyster Cult parody on US tv was funny.
:D 8)

Watched Black Christmas on Film4 just now. I'm sure the killer was Buckethead :lol: .
Apart from that I wouldn't say it was the best film I've ever seen by a long shot (As far as seasonal horror goes Hallowe'en kicks it shiteless purely on the basis of the soundtrack.). Some of the filming was beautifully done; especially for the first person sections.
-
Come guys, what about "The Great Escape" or have I totally misunderstood the point of this thread for rather tenuous comedic purposes.
-
Muppet's christmas carol
-
Well around Xmas, Zulu is always on, does this mean that our society values this as an Xmas movie then?
silly history teacher forgets he has shown it to us already, and has shown us the same part of it in each lesson over the past week and a half.
How about the Grinch, I think that sticks in my mind every year
-

HAHA who was it? Treherne did that to us with some boring-ass documentary, and noone could tell her cuz she'd just put on the DVD and $%&# off to go flirt with Lehec

Barrie actually, yeah she tries to flirt in assembly, but big Steve was there on Friday and Lehec blanked her :D

There are, unfortunately, countless thousands, probably millions, of people in this country who will never watch a foreign language film with subtitles, no matter how great it is. I even know people who won't watch anything in black & white.
I love Hard Boiled, but for sheer non-stop adrenaline-rush excitement my favourite action movie is Ong Bak.

You obviouisly havn't seen The Anchorman!
oh yeh +1 on Woogies muppets one, that film is well good.
-
In no particular order :
Diehard, Scrooged, It's a Wonderful Life I will also raise you the following
The David Lean version of Oliver Twist (just reminds me of christmas)
The Marx Brothers (for those late evenings between Boxing day & New Year)
-
Most Christmas's I end up watching Moonraker, but wishing I'm watching Live or Let Die.
If I had to watch any Christmas movie I would probably chose Muppets Christmas Carrol.
:idea: No what was I thinking the best Christmas film is Gremlins!
-
Hard Boiled is fantastic, but I humbly submit that The Killer is better, and I'm a fella with a serious John Woo mancrush.
-
What about Santa Clause, with Dudley Moore? it's hilarious! IT'S CANDY CANE KIDS!
