Question The film that says it's Christmas to you

[OldBlueLady]

Mentioned this the other day when discussing MK Shrimper's Grinch-like tendencies, and having been unable to sleep and browsing the DVDs in Tescos at half 4 this morning, and seeing just how many Christmassy ones there are, I thought it'd be interesting to see which film tops the list here.

There's probably some I've forgotten and for which I apologise in advance - hard to think of every one ever made!

For me, I've always loved the original version of Miracle on 34th Street with Edmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle and Natalie Wood as the little girl. It always used to be shown on the tv just after we broke up for Christmas from school, and I'd always curl up on the settee to watch it.

Apologies - it was on the list of ones I meant to put in, must have missed it out when I tried to do them alphabetically.

Last Christmas I watched that Lemony Snicket: Series of Unfortunate Events and, I have to say, whoever decided that this was a reasonable film to show at Christmas was on some Class A.

If you haven't seen it, the plot basically revolves around an Old, Decrepid Pervert who offs these children's parents in order to gain their inheritance and marry the little girl. Whether the costume designer meant to make the Old guy resemble Gary Glitter or if it was a brilliant coincedence remains to be seen.


Least. Christmas. Film. Ever.

Quite good as a film though, didn't you think? Jim Carrey in a multi role completely over the top performance, I'm not aware of it being a "Christmas" film though.

 

[Southminster_Shrimper]

Home Alone.....so true in many ways...:'(

(And cos Alien wasnt listed....:D)

 

[EastStandBlue]

Yes, Jim Carrey was fantastic as a leering paedophile.

Methinks you might be misinterpreting it somewhat - it's a children's book after all!

With the moral of the story being, Don't talk to strangers... They might just kill your parents and try to marry you?

Home Alone for me.
I know it's not a "christmas film" but Chicken Run usually makes me feel christmassy.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Superwhores 6 always does it for me.
