I almost considered this as the best Christmas movie for a laugh.. but seriously
What’s your favourites.?
Mines The Wizard of Oz.
It was always on the telly since forever at 12 noon then finishing just before the Queens Christmas speech at 3pm - then Goldfinger or Moonraker.
A dream sequence following after a delusional trauma.
My kids were suggesting already to watch this again. My wife can’t stand it though!
I’ve read that DH and DH2 are two of the most beloved Xmas movies out there. So it isn’t just us.
As a kid in the 80s, Xmas meant watching Gremlins. Without a doubt certain movies at a certain age cement themselves into one’s psyche.
There’s movies that are always on at Xmas, but that’s not the same as movies set around Xmas. The latter is mostly syrupy rubbish.
I thought the definition of a Christmas movie is suitable for the whole family, Gremlins and DH hardly apply! I watched Gremlins in the theatre at release and it scared the wits outta me.
For me it’s going to be the 1969 British classic The Italian Job. I just love the opening scene & track. Bellissimo***.***
Who made this definition up? Both die hard 1 and 2 movies are set at Christmas! Just because Bruce Willis says it’s a Bruce Willis movie doesn’t stop it being a Christmas movie! And Alan Rickman is in DH2, what more could you want!
No, no, no, stop it now! How can movies that are all lovey dovey be about the reality of Christmas! You need to watch the die hard movies for a reality check!
