Yes, yes, it's still only November but very interested to know what your favourite Christmas movies are?

Would it be a classic (It's a Wonderful Life), a more modern film (Love Actually) or a more offbeat choice (Die Hard)?

Post your favourite festive films below!

    The Muppet Christmas Carol. I've watched it on the night before christmas pretty much every year of my life. Never gets old.

    Also really like The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Grinch, Die Hard, Bad Santa, It's A Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. (the original. I've yet to see the remake, though I want to.)

    1) March of the Wooden Soldiers (starring Laurel & Hardy)
    Here in the US, this is the film that basically kicks off the holiday season (for literally decades now). Like clockwork, this film always airs in the late morning hours on Thanksgiving day. It also airs on Christmas morning as well. I grew up watching it and will continue to do so for as long as they continue the tradition. :)


    2) Scrooge
    This Albert Finney musical is terrific.

    Muppets Christmas Carol 4 the win !!!
    I saw it originally in the cinema,and like others have said I try and watch it every Christmas :o

    Also over the last couple of years (since I got hold of a copy of it) I have watched The Woman In Black either Christmas Eve night or one of the nights leading up to it.
    It reminds me of being a kid back in 1989 when it was originally broadcast and peering over the top of a Great Universal/Janet Frazer catalogue (where I was looking excitedly at the toys I was getting in the morning) scared witless :eek:

    Christmas doesn't start until I've seen Elf and Miracle On 34th Street (the Richard Attenborough version).

    Also love Home Alone 1 & 2 and Love Actually (usually try to watch it on Christmas Eve).

    I watch Trading Places & Die Hard so often I don't really think of them as Christmas movies any more, sadly.
