OK, I am a sucker for Jimmy Stewart, but that is probably a generational thing.
That and his films being on TV incessantly since the last Europe wide squirmish. [I hope they are not coloured-in]
Otherwise it's another bumper Christmas for going through ones CD collection.
Oops! Silly me, DVD collection.

My Grandchildren love National Lampoon Christmas Vacation Elf and Polar Express, I always like to see The Alistair Simm Scrooge and It's a Wonderful Life.

'Home Alone' has a special place in my heart-my lot seemed to grow up around it-they can all still quote the dialogue!
Never give up...

Huddled round the Christmas tree with my Grandparents and my Grandchildren we always enjoy watching the Exorcist.
Saw 3 is always a favourite as well.

Nothing personal Philip, but you seem to be describing life as a rat...or the life of the Adams Family.

Hopefully people could see I was joking about my favourite Christmas films (the clue was in the reference to watching with my Grandparents and Grandchildren) and I know it's such a clique and possibly makes me as conventional and conformist as everyone else but the bestist Christmas film ever made is It's a wonderful life.
Funnily enough it was considered a lesser, run of the mill, production when it was first screened but like the cult classic Casablanca rose to fame and popularity well beyond the wildest dreams of the original producers.
A lesson there for creative types everywhere.

How about Love Actually? Not strictly a Christmas film but tugs at the heart strings and has a Christmas theme running through

Never had you down as a romantic Simon.
We put on DVD
Out of Africa - Robert Redford. Meryl Streep.
A brilliant score by late John Barry , stunning scenery.
