[Film] Films you love to watch at Christmas?

[Stato]

I watched 'The Apartment' for the first time at the weekend. It's a great film and I wasn't aware that it's a Christmas film. It's not a family feel good heart warmer, but it shows a gleaming nugget of humanity among the dishonesty, greed and selfishness. Shirley McLaine's performance was a masterclass in stillness.

Is amazing.

Love it when Blackadder sends Tweedee & Dumb away (charity collectors).

And Tiny Tim

you could scoop him out and use him as a houseboat.

I'm just looking forward to some of Nurse MaCreedies surgical brewers lotion.

Nothing but the best in this house.

Looking forward to watching this, used to like a slasher as a teenager (the 1974 original not the remake).

Muppets Christmas Carol, possibly Michael Caine’s finest work.

One of my all time favourite films, absolutely superb and I heartily agree re McLaine's performance.

Shocked that trash like John Wick is on your list!

I always like to watch some Harry Harryhausen around Xmas - Clash of the Titans, any of the Sinbads, Jason and the Argonauts etc. It reminds me of being young and I guess that's what Christmas is about.

I thought it was about Jesus.

Being an old romantic, I have to watch The Holiday at Christmas. Big fan of the Kurt Russell Christmas Chronicle films too. Throw in Polar express the night before the big day and i'm happy.
