Old Speckled Hen Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 What's your tradition and what's on the MUST SEE list? My daughter and I HAVE to watch The Muppet Christmas Carol. My DH HAS to watch Zulu (There is a Blu Ray remaster in his stocking this year) My Mother LOVES It's a Wonderful Life. Does anybody watch HRH any more?

MedusA Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 It's a Wonderful Life is my top "must see" film. Makes me cry every time. I also like to watch, if I'm able: The Nightmare Before Christmas Gremlins Miracle on 34th Street Love Actually Meet Me in St. Louis The Bishop's Wife The Apartment We also have to read A Christmas Carol and The Night Before Christmas to each other. Haven't watch HRH for years, I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutrix Farmers Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 What's your tradition and what's on the MUST SEE list?Does anybody watch HRH any more? We have a family tradition that presents will only be exchanged after the Queens Speech. Children have their stockings in the morning so they have something to play with. Then by the time we've been to church and finished dinner it's 3pm anyway. Must see films - The Great Escape, Its a Wonderful Life and Indiana Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flo Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 My mum and I always watch The Snowman together. It came out the year I was born and when I was about 3 apparently I watched it happily all the way to the end where I then burst out into fits of inconsolable tears. Now we watch it every year and start to cry from the moment it starts, with a break in the middle during the happy bits, then I well up again as soon as the little boy goes outside the next morning... So sad! (me, not the film!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I still haven't seen It's a Wonderful Life I love Home Alone as it is so Chritmassy Love Actually and the Holiday are favs too. Oh and the Wizard of Oz, love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) I don't necessarily watch them on Christmas Day but definitely in the run up to Christmas Love Actually (already watched this last week). Muppet Christmas Carol - brilliant Elf - I love this film Miracle on 34th Street (both films black & white and colour seem to have disappeared from my house) Its a Wonderful life - watched it for the first time last year - brilliant Santa Clause 1,2 & 3 at a push. I have so many Christmas films, The holiday (lovely), Jingle All the Way and Jack Frost. I am a complete film addict. Edited to add that I'm afraid we don't watch the Queen's Speech Edited December 1, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poachedegg Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I still haven't seen It's a Wonderful Life Me neither. Nor me ....perhaps we should have an Omlet Film Night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlass Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I always love to watch Christmas Carol a week or so before the big day[the older version with Alec Guiness] It puts me inthe right Christmassy spirit and the It's a wonderful world nearer the day. I don't really get much chance to watch any TV over the Christmas period itself as I have relatives here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutmeg Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I still haven't seen It's a Wonderful Life Me neither. Nor me ....perhaps we should have an Omlet Film Night! Me neither! Always miss it for some reason. My list is not Christmassy, but absolutely have to watch The Great Escape, The Italian Job (the original) and The Sound of Music. Went to a Singalong Sound of Music evening earlier this year, thought I had died and gone to heaven, it was absolutely brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooklady Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The Snowman, Muppet's Christmas Carol and the Tailor of Gloucester. Heaven. Definately 'The Snowman' and 'The Tailor of Gloucester' We don't often watch any TV on Christmas day at all, Food, pressies and games in the evening there's no time for anything else!

bigmommasally Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I love The Snowman, my daughter (24 years) still cries every time she watches it We also love One Magic Christmas an old disney film, this one makes us cry too! Like many others I still haven't seen "It's a Wonderful life". I can't wait for my week off over christmas when I can snuggle down on the sofa and watch old movies all day.

bronze Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I dont have any must haves as I grew up without a tv so have no traditions. I do like to watch any of the classics that I've not seen though and am gradually catching up. The snowman makes me cry too though even worse when I listen to the audio version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
