Alex 35120 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I love It's a Wonderful Life. I even like White Christmas which is absolutely cheese-tastic. Obviously Die Hard is mint. As is the original Miracle on 34th Street. Then there's A Christmas Carol starring Alistair Simm as Scrooge. I suppose In Bruges counts too. Not forgetting National Lampoons. Then if you want a proper laugh with the family there's always Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4729 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 So, other candidates for the Xmas Toontastic Top Ten Xmas Films. So far I think its a given that Love Actually, Its a Wonderful Life and Die Hard get in. Personally I would also hoy in Hairspray, Mamma Mia and any one of the Buddies movies, although Snow Buddies takes some beating. Ideally a bond and good war film should be in there.

Alex 35120 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 CT, as camp as Christmas. Is Mama Mia meant to be a wind-up btw? The film itself that is, I'm sure it's a sincere nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15561 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 We urgently need to define whether a "Christmas film" has to be set during the Christmas period or whether it's merely the kind of thing that tends to be on the telly at Christmas. This thread risks descending into anarchy otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15561 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 If it wasn't for Coyote Ugly, Mamma Mia would be basically the worst film I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film itself that is, I'm sure it's a sincere nomination. I think Benny decided he wanted the film to be a bit tongue in cheek, saw the stage play in London too which was canny. But if you dont like the music you probably aint going to like the film. Personally I think its a bit of a throwback to a good old English romp / farce.

I love Greece and it looks nice on the film but you could get that from a Georges Meis calendar. I've actually sat through most of it on Xmas day (think it was on about 3 years ago).

Gemmill 44995 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Mamma Mia and Hairspray are neither Christmas films, nor the sort of thing that will be on at Christmas. Unless you're at Louis Spence's house for the festive period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to like them when I was about 4. It's the shit singing I don't get. The storylilne as well. Just seems like a piss-take. Loads of people I know have said they loved it though. I don't mind some old school musicals, Singing in the Rain etc. And incidentally, CT: the Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence line was a joke, in case you stick it on with the wife and kids after the Queen's Speech Edited November 20, 2012 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15561 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 It's the shit singing I don't get. Aye, that's one of the main problems. I like Abba, but if I want Abba I'll listen to Abba, not bloody Pierce Brosnan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4729 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 One of the funniest films of all time, The meaning of life. Every sperm is indeed sacred. Don't stand there gawkin' like you never seen the hand of God before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15561 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Surely you like Hairspray? Haven't seen it. Seeing what the stage show did to Michael Ball was enough to put me off: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35120 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Anyone out for the match on the Saturday before Xmas btw? It's the only home game until after New Year. Not even sure if I'll bother getting a ticket tbh but I'll be up for few bowls of loudmouth soup, as manc-mag would say. He's on about coming as well.

Won't be up until early January, more's the pity. New Year's resolution really needs to be to get to more home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
