Well we're trying to get into that Christmasy feeling. You know all the family fa la la la'ing together with that warm all over glow. One of the tactics we've employed in bringing the CR unit together and away from the internet, is to have movie nights......some sweeties, some dorito's etc etc
In truth we're really struggling on the movie front though.
Evening 1...........Jack and Jill starring Adam Sandler
Can I advise anyone not to waste 90 minutes of their lives like we did
2nd Attempt...................Jingle all the Way starring Arnie
As per evening 1
3rd Attempt..............Ghost Town starring Ricky Gervais
As per evening 1 and 2
We've done Dumb and Dumber and that went down well. I think I might introduce them to 'It's a Wonderful Life', but it's a bit morbid in places for kids
-
Home Alone or Elf. Both excellent Christmas films.
-
Polar Express is excellent too
-
For a family gathering, you can't do better than The Muppet Christmas Carol. I don't know anyone who doesn't enjoy it.

This.
I always watch Miracle on 34th Street too. I loved Ghost Town!
Isn't Great Escape on this time of year? :P
-
I'm liking these films, however I've never personally got on with the muppets. I just don't get it..........having said that, those 2 old boy critic types make me smile.
A Christmas Carol is good (any of them, including the new animated one from last year).
.....also team, Mysterious Island 2- forget that one as well. The Rock will do anything for publicity and money, but Michael Caine ought to be ashamed of himself and shouldn't let himself go like this
-
BBC's The Gruffalo's Child was a real festive treat last Christmas.
-
Tim Allen's The santa clause..a great favorite in our house..
Pirates in an adventure with scientists is brill, not xmassy perhaps but fun all the same..
If you haven't seen it yet Brave is fantastic, really funny..
-
'Its a wonderful life'' with James Stewart.
'The Edge' with Anthony HopkinsTop Class! :rtid:

Nice old Christmas movies:
Miracle on 34th Street - old one with Natalie Wood as the little girl
The Christmas Story - with the red ryder B B gun
new ones (which are girly):
Love Actually
The Holiday
-
Die Hard is the only correct answer.
Failing that Gremlins. Gremlins is actually particularly good for the family as it has a bit of everything - comedy, horror, action, romance, cute animals (Gizmo!), fun monsters, the odd bit of gore and bodily fluid gags - a more perfect Christmas movie there is not. Die Hard is still my annual Christmas ritual however. Makes a change from all these puerile Christmas cash-in movies that come out every year, anyway.

Thanks team, some to pick the bones out of there.
Looking forward to The Hobbit though. I did Breaking Dawn part 2 with the clan a few weeks ago. My my, what a twist in the end
-
This looks like a good family movie :whistle:

Scrooged with Bill Murray is by far my favourite Christmas film.
And if you're buying a boxset for Christmas it has to be The Dark Knight Trilogy.
-
What's Scrooged actually about? Love Bill Murray, never seem to have gotten round to watching that one.

It was a modern take on A Christmas Carol. Absolutely hilarious, if a little dark side.
-
Ah, cheers. Has it been on yet this year?
-
It was on last week. DVD is pretty cheap on Amazon.
-
That it is - something to watch this weekend at least :thumbsup:
-
Great film mr frost !! My fave it's not Christmas til you've seen scrooged.
One I've not seen for years but is worth watch nightmare before christmas
-
It's got to be Bad Santa!!
Maybe not suitable for Children though.
Alcoholic Santa and a Dwarf attempt a Christmas robbery with an abandones child storyline thrown in, brilliant.

Good shout! I love the bit where the fairy smacks Bill in the head, "It's a toaster!" :lol:

For me it's Home Alone 1+2, Muppet's Christmas Carol and Miracle On 34th Street (the remake). All great films that never fail to get me in the Christmas spirit.
