Favourite Christmas Film??

[northepaul]

Here's a nice festive thread (and its not even December yet )

Whats your favourite Christmas film? Doesnt neccessarily have to be Christmas related, just one you watch every year, or reminds you of the big event.
(I am also looking for inspiration too!)

To start the ball rolling:
Mine is "Its a Wonderful Life" Watch it every year and have done since I was a child.

I also love "The Wizard of Oz"

Love Actually?

I'm with binley on this one...I love...Love Actually, it's like lot's of little film all rolled into one.
Also in my top Christmas films to watch are White Christmas, The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant, Miracle on 34th Street and of course It's a Wonderful Life.

The Muppets Christmas Carol. That is all...
I defy anyone who has a beating heart not to feel better towards your fellow human after watching that film. The true meaning of christmas, i think.
Watching it, you can see the perpetual glint in Michael Caines eye, as if to say "I am having so much fun here!"

American History X? What sort of christmas are you having???? It's an absolutely fantastic film, much overlooked, but about as christmassy as Schindlers List!
