Best films to watch on Christmas Eve to get you into the spirit?

Quote:
"Forget It`s A Wonderful Life This Year for once, and rent Die Hard on Christmas Eve"


Can`t remember where i heard that quote, but it certainly rings true for me. This violent action packed terrorist thriller is the ultimate Christmas viewing experience for me. Always gets me in the mood. Quite partial to Scrooged too.

And for some bizarre reason, if i catch `The Last Starfighter` in the run up to the 25th, i get all warm and cozy inside.

I know, i`m weird! 8)






Three Cheers for Joey Pants!

Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

Scrooged is brilliant!

You`ve got to buy ELF - it`s a great film that all the family can watch.

also...

BAD SANTA!!! Not one for the whole family, but a brilliantly funny film.




Oh my God, Bear is driving! How can that be?

I thought ELF was brilliant - that would be my number one choice for Christmas Eve - i`m also quite partial to Scrooged.

I`d also recommend:

A Nightmare Before Christmas
Santa Claus; The Movie
The Santa Clause

Do not watch the following:

The Snowman (Walk somewhere else, but not in my aerospace please)
The Sound Of Music
Cliff Richard in Concert

Bar Humbug!
