Has anyone seen the film called Merry Christmas, about the ceasefire during the Christmas of 1914 on the Western Front?

Yes - it's quality, especially measured against the slushiness of the competition.

It's unfortunate that this apparent growth in the WW1 memorial and tourism industry in recent years hasn't brought a genuinely decently-made film like that to greater prominence. Hopefully they'll show it again this year.

6.30 pm - Miracle on 42nd Street

Is that a bit like Miracle on 34th St, but with Kriss Kringle giving us a show-stopping version of Lullaby of Broadway halfway through?

 

[Perry Milkins]

Does this qualify?

Tom and Jerry's

'Twas the Night Before Christmas'

Bloody Christmastastically great.

 

[Mellotron]

Bad Santa

Seconded. I'll be voting for this, hilarious film.

There is the proof that he was mad. I never went with all that sentimental claptrap............. he was a danger to those kids.

They weren't deserters - I seem to remember that they'd done nothing wrong, no? Brilliant, unjustly overlooked film that.
