Favourite Festive Film
Ask a Question
Whats everyone's favourite festive film?
Mine is The Grinch (Jim Carey Live action version)
Sorry if im being nosey as usual.
Has to be National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, even thou I've seen it countless time, I still find it funny.
Watching National lampoon Christmas vacation has become a Christmas eve tradition in our house. My personal favourite is Santa Claus the movie tho as it brings back happy childhood memories. I'm also a fan of The Polar Express.
My favorite festive films are The Holiday and Last Holiday. They're both light watches and it’s just something nice to have on in the background whilst talking to friends.
Merriam-Webster defines "festive" as: of, relating to, or suitable for a feast or festival
But, I take it you mean Christmas.
I'd say Bad Santa and Home Alone 1 and 2. Die Hard is awesome, too.
MandeeMayson one of my favourite scenes of all time haha, Jim Carey is brilliant
I like Miracle on 34th Street. I can get sucked into the Hallmark Christmas channel though
gerrykelly25 .... I’ve been watching Christmas films since September!!! (And recorded the ones I didn’t watch!!)
gerrykelly25 call it sad, call it desperate, call
It what you like..... but we are happy in out little world of Sugar Plum Fairies aren’t we!!!! Hahahaha!
Home alone and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, watching every year,nice family evening with lots of oranges and sweets.
I want to watch the trilogy Christmas' Prince on Netflix this year, and I hope these will become my favourites.
Any version of 'A Christmas Carol'. It's not Crimbo if I haven't watched a variation of Scrooge. Add to that the usual rom coms. Emma Thompson was annoying in her film 'Last Christmas' but I enjoyed Emelia Clarke's character so maybe I'll watch it again.
sunny101 I went to go see this in cinemas, ill admit this wasnt Emma Thompson's best work but ive this on dvd for my mum for Christmas
Does anyone remember a version of Scrooge with Ross Kemp in it? It’s one of those that they just throw into an afternoons viewing..... but it’s FAB!!! Seen it twice, but I haven’t found it the last couple of years.... I always buy a TV mag now to see if I can see it??
sunny101 ahhhh, look out for it... it’s REALLY good! Can I also ask what IMDB is? Xxxxxxx
MandeeMayson IMDB is an online database of films, series, actors etc. Always a useful tool when you can't remember where you've seen a particular face or their acting history.
sunny101 this would be great for me.... I can’t remember my own name never mind actors etc! Thank you for this, I’m going to have a peep at it! Xxxxxxx
I know this won't go down well but I don't watch Christmas movies unless they are on the tv and there is absolutely nothing else on. This is because I'm a teacher and spend the last few days of term watching the same Christmas movies over and over! I only plan to watch them in the future for my son, but I'm really not a fan of Christmas movies.
MrsCraig Blasphemy MrsCraig!!!! How can anyone not like the fuzzy feeling of a Christmas movie!!??
MandeeMayson when you have to watch the same film over and over multiple times a day, the magic and joy of Christmas films wears away quickly. I no longer enjoy Elf, I had to watch it 7 times in one day!
Love Actually... watch it most years! There seems to be a LOT of Christmas movies on Netflix this year though, which are all trending already
Die Hard or Trading Places. I'm not really into the schmaltzy stuff. I prefer the Christmas festivities to be in the background
I love the Grinch, I can't watch that movie enough. I am probably annoying my neighbours because I keep singing the Grinch theme song when watering the plants this week
It's not Christmas until the wizard of oz has been watched. Years ago we had it on VHS but eventually wore out. these days it's usually on an obscure channel but always on at Christmas
