Whats your favourite Xmas film?

[Mrs Dobby]

As the festive season draws ever nearer, along with the chance of some time off work (and if the weather doesnt improve then its possible you wont be able to get to work on the plot / garden as much as perhaps we'd all like to ), I thought I'd ask what everyone's favourite seasonal film to curl up, relax and watch is? If its raining cats and dogs, blowing a gale or the ground is frozen solid, then what will you do with your time off, what will you make a point of watching, and what films do you really not want to see come xmas / yule? Share them with us all, and possibly the memories that they evoke or just what it is that you really enjoy about them?

Anything Disney
Mary Poppins - practically perfect in every way
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - don't agree with you about the childcatcher Rat, he always used to scare me
The Big Country - the only western I will sit and watch all the way through.
The Thomas Crown Affair either version is good.

And Oliver Twist - Fagin was a hero of mine when I was young - always fancied myself as a bit of an Artful Dodger

The Sound of Music! ..... shoot me.

Rumour via a PM has suggested that LJ's would be Free Willy....scandelous!

A black & White war movie with John Wayne or maybe Blues Brothers

[Lesley Jay]

Geordie!!!! You cheeky sod!!

Mine aren't Christmas films. The Italian Job (both of them), The Committments, The Godfather and The Full Monty!!

Always used to watch a Bond film with the family over Christmas. Couldn't usually hear it well, what with my nan snoring but it reminds me of younger days.

[bramble]

shirley Valentine and Thelma and Louise. They never fail to give me a lift and a smile. Always feel in better humour after watching them.

Debbie does Dallas Only joking, I've never seen that one ... honest. I did see one called the Other CInderella once definately not a walt disney

I don't really watch many films but the old hercules parrot aren't bad. I do Like the 39 Steps ( got them all on tape .... sad really) & the black & white SHerlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone in are good

[pigletwillie]

Is that the one staring LJ? , NO Nick, not that one, I meant the B&W ones.

My favourite film of all time has to be 'A Matter of Life and Death' and I could watch it everyday - it's recently been screened on Film4 and I watched it every time it was on!!!

I first saw it when I was about 10 years old and had a huge crush on David Niven ever since!
