I shall be going to the new Metro cinema (little independent in Derby just built a brand new building in the town centre) on the Sunday before Christmas to watch Its a Wonderful Life on the big screen, to swoon over darling James Stewart finding the true meaning of Christmas....was that a Bell r inging..... I took the PMO to see that in the Scotsman Hotel's private cinema (recommendation for anyone in or near Edinburgh) a couple of years ago. It was lovely though judging by the sniffles near the end, everyone (and I mean everyone) must have caught the cold during it. One of my favourite Jimmy Stewart movies was 'Harvey'.

First and foremost, It's a Wonderful Life. Rev and I watch it religiously every year before the children break up from school.
Also very partial to Love Actually (for the grown ups) and Elf with Will Ferrell and Bob Newhart, for the kids. And grown-ups too, come to think of it.

Well, for me it has to be It's a Wonderful Life, cos I am deeply squidgy. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the Great Escape, either! I've always found this a difficult film to watch as my Great Uncle was No:13 in the tunnel and one of the few that weren't shot. (those wot know my real surname name can go and google for my uncle Desmond.) All I can say is that if they show one of those 'Home Alone' films this 'C' I shall be the first person in the country to put a pick-axe through a flat-screen TV. I think though, that an Ealing Comedy makes Christmas for me.... The Titfield Thunderbolt The Lavender Hill Mob The Lady Killers Kind Hearts and Coronets Alien Syd

First and foremost, Muppet Christmas Carol, Santa Claus the Movie, The Grinch and Scrooged.
Oh and of course Meet Me in St. Louis, It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street with Dicky Attenborough of course.

Holiday Inn, Miracle on 34th Street (thanks for the info, Jean), and all others with a light-hearted content as, by this time in the year I really need to recharge my 'jolly'.

I like most would choose - It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol. They are both classics.

The musical version of Scrooge, starring Albert Finney Yes, thats one of my favourites too. Especially Anton Lester (?) singing 'Thank You Very Much'. [Sorry Ewan didn't see your post!] My number one though is Miracle on 34th street.. The 1947 version with little Natalie Wood. (sorry Lily). I love it. As for new films, Love Actaully and The Holiday are great Dibs xx

It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol - have a soft spot for the Frank Finlay version filmed in Shrewsbury and, not really a Christmas film, but one I associate with Christmas from my childhood: The Amazing Mr Blunden.

I always associate Gone with the Wind with Christmas - not sure why, maybe it's the sprouts
