So what's everyone's favourite Christmas film then?

According to my Mum, it will take something pretty special to remove Die Hard from the top of her list  ???

Any of the Wallace and Gromet shorts.

"It's A Wonderful Life".
End of discussion. (Puts fingers in ears and sings loudly).

The Muppets Christmas Carol
A Child's Christmas in Wales
Trapped in Paradise
and of course...It's a Wonderful Life

Well, you're a scientist and you're from Airdrie---that's enough excitement for anyone.

The Moon-Man that Time Forgot one Christmas in December has got to rank as one of my favourite Christmas films.
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

You're such a fibber, Peeps.
I'll give an honourable mention to the first couple of "Home Alone" movies. At the time, they were pretty original and have since spawned a million imitations. Also, the first time I saw "The Snowman", I thought it was stunning. Then there's "Miracle on 42nd Street" which is good but...nah..."It's A Wonderful Life"---that's THE one.

You surprise me, Roger. I didn't know you were an old fogey!

Okay - I got the title wrong. I forgot the bit about the chainsaw massacre. It was a long time ago.

"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation".  I'm a sucker for all Christmas films, though - Home Alones, Santa Clause, White Christmas, Miracle, etc.

Don't think I've seen "It's a Wonderful Life" either, Zesty.  Maybe when I was young, but not that I can remember.  There's not that much excitement in my life - maybe I should rent it.

I'll freely admit I haven't seen "It's a Wonderful Life".

No I won't! I'll charge 25p each! PayPal will do.

I loved Louis Armstrong's song though.
