I’d want the 2011 Muppets film over the Christmas Carol one, just because there it’s about the only film that after a bottle of wine can have me literally helpless on the floor with laughter.

I will also be watching Singin’ In the Rain, but only if I get a new copy for Christmas, after my other half took my old copy (which she gave me) away for a weekend with her pals and lost it.

Glad to see that the propaganda for Elf has not permeated too far into the DiS consciousness. It’s not good.

Yeah Die Hards 1 and 2 of course.

it’s a wonderful life

Just watched die hard.

When the terrorist is meant to be concentrating on the lapd storming the building but gets distracted by chocolate bars
 can really empathise with that y’know?

Can’t argue with any of that. Maybe slip in Clash of the Titans (1981 version) as well.

You’ve just reminded me that I have that on DVD in my parents’ house! That’s getting a watch too!

Genuinely think Muppets 2011 is in my top ten all-time. Genuis.

The Wizard of Oz. (Horror in disguise).

Groundhog Day for me. Only found out it wasn’t a Christmas film last year. Sure it’s got Christmas trees in it despite being set in February, obiously loads of snow. I watch it every year anyway. It’s more of a Christmas film than Lethal fucking Weapon.

  1. Muppets Christmas Carol
  2. National Lampoon Christmas Vacation
  3. Die Hard
  4. Bad Santa
  5. Jingle All The Way

Loads of Christmas trees in lethal weapon, which is set at Christmas, as opposed to on groundhog day. No snow though I guess.
