I have never seen Elf.... nor that one film, what's it called--- em em, A Wonderful Life, is it? ...then again, I never seen Die Hard either, which I hear is supposedly a Christmas movie, (but I just can't wrap my head around that particular idea).
Come to think about it, I haven't seen Nightmare before Christmas either... Are there any films worth watching in the coming season?

Yeah, pretty much all the movies you've mentioned there
About 5 mins into Die Hard you'll see why it's a Christmas movie as well!

Elf is one of my favourite Christmas movies. I'd put a vote in for Bad Santa too!

If you've netflix and didn't see Klaus I'd highly recommend it, really great animated film
Quote:After proving himself to be the worst student at the academy, a postman is sent to a frozen town in the North where he discovers a reclusive toymaker named Klaus.

Die Hard is my favourite Christmas movie and Love Actually maybe!
15-10-2021, 09:39 AM
People always forget that Die Hard 2 is also a Christmas movie.

There is no argument. There are those who recognise Die Hard as a Christmas movie, and there are those who are wrong.

Spending time with family.

Nothing says Christmas like "Yippee Ki Yay, motherfucker"
The defence rests.

...a debate for the ages!
I doubt Action Bruce originally signed up to do a predominantly 'Christmas' Flick, but I suppose any film set in the season can be considered a Christmas film - like "While You Were Sleeping" - I never considered it a Christmas film (the main focus being on something else entirely), but others do.... I suppose, "Christmas is in the eye of the beholder"
Thanks for the movie advice everyone, I shall see definitely see what comes available to view, this season!

I am not a fan of that Will Ferrell dude (at all), but will try to give him a chance in Elf, if it comes on.

Watch Blades of Glory and The Elf and you'll change your mind about Ferrell, he'll never win an Oscar because he'll always be typecast, but his performance in The Elf was a hilarious mixture of naivety and lack of self-awareness.

I was actually agreeing that DH is a Christmas movie BTW, it's just a twist on the good guy beats the bad guys who are trying to ruin Christmas.

And so it begins...Son has started to drop in presents for his partner, for me to wrap and put away until Christmas . He can't bring them home as she'd find them and if he asked her mother to do it , she'd hand them over to her
