For me its...

Elf
National Lampoons
Home Alone

That's the core must watch trio. Agreed The Snowman is always nice if I catch it.

They're showing Trading Places at the pcc for Nye I think (the film spans Xmas and ny). I may pop down, it's a belter. What was the film the two old bastards were in after? I'm drawing a blank.

Coming to America, had to Google it. Of course it was.

Coming to America has a cameo of the Duke Bros. who are homeless after Trading Places. Murphy's character hands them a stack of banknotes and one of them (Randolph) says "Mortimer, we are back in business!"

My must-watch Christmas films include films that a lot of people absolutely hate. Hey ho.

Must Watch Every Year
Love, Actually
Arthur Christmas
A Christmas Carol (the Disney, Jim Carey one)
It’s a Wonderful Life
The Polar Express

Every 2-3 Years
The Muppet Christmas Carol
Scrooged
The Holiday
The Snowman & Father Christmas (usually as a double bill)
The Nightmare Before Christmas
How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Every 4-5 Years
Home Alone
Bad Santa
Elf

I’ve seen once or twice
White Christmas
The Family Stone
Miracle on 34th Street

I watched Arthur Christmas for the first time the other day and it is much better than I expected. Good fun and bags of heart.

You need some Lampoons in there Andy.

I've never seen it. Will be rectify that this year.

The bbc have a new version of A Christmas Carol on tomorrow night.  Producers of Taboo (class), Guy Pearce (class), Stephen Graham (class) and Andy Serkis (a man who thinks he’s class despite having made a career as being computer monsters).  Looks decent too.  Think it starts at 9 but y’know there’s a thing called iPlayer too.

I'm very keen on this. Looks great, so fingers crossed

I watched Elf today . Wife missed the cinema showing so we all watched it on Prime with pick & mix. One of my favourites, never gets old.

Finished the most important trilogy of the past few years tonight with A Christmas Prince 3 - The Royal Baby. The Chinese Panglians are coming to sign a 600 year old treaty with Aldovia. But at the same time Queen Amber is expecting! It'll all be fine, the treaty signing is her last royal engagement before the baby is due.

But then the scroll with the treaty on it goes missing! And then they find out if a country doesn't sign it their first born will be cursed! Fffuuu!

It's like The Room of U rated Christmas movies, and I'm glad to see the 74 minute third part featured all the greatest hits of the previous two. Keep it up Netflix.

I saw that scrolling through Netflix and thought, "who the fuck (other than my wife) watches this shit"? Turns out it's Reg.

Yeah, it's fine story wise, and the animation is good.

IT WAS ME ALL ALONG, GOOBS.

I'm a sucker for and movie where everyone is trying their best, not just a nudge wink bad movie. The Christmas Prince movies have provided me with plenty of laughs over the past 3 years.
