    Re: Christmas Movies & TV Specials

    Some titles here that I've never heard of - I'll have to keep an eye out.
    I like A Charlie Brown Christmas because (like 555 with his favorite) it brings me back to my childhood. I remember watching it as a kid. I also remember getting a Snoopy & the Red Baron book in my first school Christmas gift exchange.
    As for Home Alone, it's entertaining and sweet. I also love watching my youngest almost pee himself laughing when the baddies start getting thumped by all the booby-traps.

    Yep, A Charlie Brown Christmas is a favourite in my family, as is How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the original animated one, not that more recent drivel with Jim Carrey ).

    Also, I've been known to watch Strange Brew this time of year, although not really a Christmas theme .

    Strange Brew - I completely forgot about that movie - I bet my boys would love it.
    A non-Christmas movie I always watch during the holidays is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. I don't really know why.

    Re: Christmas Movies & TV Specials

    Life of Brian and Muppets Christmas Carol always get an airing while we're doing the decorations. Then there's A Christmassy Ted (it's Ireland's largest lingerie section, I hear), and the rather sweet Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas episode of Community.

    This year the BBC have resurrected Open All Hours, which doesn't fill me with hope. The original is one of the greatest under-rated sitcoms, along with Porridge, often being overlooked in favour of Only Fools and Horses (which in fairness is brilliant) or Fawlty Towers. I just hope the new incarnation is reasonable, my hopes aren't high.

    Our family have always loved The Snowman. Although the 'kids' are now in their thirties!

    And last year's sequel The Snowman and the Snowdog caught the spirit of the original.

    We usually watch Elf. The wife and daughter have a few more I can never remember... Holiday in Handcuffs is one I think. Charlie Brown if we catch it.

    Christmas Movies & TV Specials

    We watch Elf too. Had to buy the blue ray this year as it won't be shown on British terrestrial television sadly. It's usually a film constantly repeated but proved too popular. I also like Tim Burton's 'Nightmare Before Christmas'.

    Also Blackadders Christmas Carol is a must watch lol
