I love 'A Christmas Story', 1983.
Who doesn't love Ralphie and his quest for the ultimate gift. And the lamp his Dad won being stuck in the window to his mother's mortification. It's a joy from start to finish.
Because been so much stuff on TV last few months.
Though I watched loads of Christmas films last year mostly the ones on the Christmas 24 channel and Five plus a few on Sony Movies.
I voted for Scrooge not only because it is a much better film, (the original black and white print, not the hideous colourized version) but I have never understood the fuss over It's a Wonderful Life.
Its a good horror / christmas movie, some of it is Icelandic with subtitles. I'd recommend it to anyone whos looking for a different take. Don't watch the trailer it makes it look like a sh*t action / horror. Infact it has a compelling family story, and the title is explained at the end.
Me too, I hate it, and I m old enough to remember that it was a flop when it was first released.
There is a wonderful Christmas film, Remember the Night which nobody seems to know apart from old film buffs like me. It is about a hard boiled shoplifter, Barbara Stanwyck who's trial is postponed until after Christmas, so her prosecuting council Fred MacMurray takes her home to his family in Indiana to spend Christmas with them. The warmth of their welcome and her first experience of a real family Christmas brings the couple closer together. The trouble is, he still has to take her back to face the court after the holidays.
It has just been released on Amazon for just £8.50, and they accurately describe it as a timeless, warm hearted Christmas Classic.
It does have one thing in common with IAWL, and that is the great Beulah Bondi who plays Fred's warm hearted mother.
I watched it again a couple of years ago and it does, just about, hold up. I still found it funny watching as an adult.
Mark Kermode raved about Rare Exports a couple of years ago and from his words it sounded really dark and edgy and a great alternatve Christmas movie. However when I finally saw it, I was let down by it. Bit of a mess IMO and not nearly as clever as something like Troll Hunter.
Also like Jack Frost and Jingle All The Way (can't believe none of them 3 all time classics make this list?)
I also like A Pocketful of Miracles.
Obviously Bad Santa but that is rather an anti-Christmas film.
So many to choose from though, Home Alone, The Muppet Christmas Carol and also Scrooged (love this film and the ghost of Christmas Present)
Haha enjoy this too, got to watch that movie this year.
