Is In Bruges a Christmas film????? It's absolutely superb regardless an anyone who hasn't seen it is missing out.

Home Alone
Gremlins (Although Gremlins 2 is miles better)
The Christmas Chronicles
Scrooged
Miracle on 34th Street
Love Actually
Reservoir Dogs (seeing as people are just chucking random films in)
The Running Man


I would have put The Holiday in but we watched it again the other day and Jack Blacks character has to be the most annoying fart ever. "a rooty tootin toodly dootin rootin doodlyde" If you've seen it you'll know what I mean. "This is my Maggie" do one

He's boss in High Fidelity though. Another great Christmas film.

Do they still show the Wizard of Oz on Christmas day? It has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas, but I always consider it to be my favourite Christmas film

 

[McBain]

Jason and the Argonauts

 

[BNJ1878]

Some of this list have a strong Christmas theme, some only a hint.

In no particular order.

Carol
Tangerine
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
White Reindeer
Trading places
Lethal Weapon
LA Confidential
The long kiss goodnight
Office Christmas Party
In Bruges
Phantom Thread
Catch me if you can

Something for everyone there, drama, comedy, action. No horrors though, it's Christmas for goodness sake. (though I'm yet to watch the original 1974 Black Christmas, so that maybe a late entry)
