Yes I've seen that one too also with Tony Curtis, I especially like Mr Grant in North by North West ( one of my favourite Alfred Hitchcock films) but I'm digressing now, it's not a Christmas film Love the oldies Scandi

There are loads of Christmas films that I really like but my favourite one is probably Santa Claus the Movie. It's the only Christmas film that I remember watching as a child.

I also like Planes, trains and auto mobiles, with the great John Candy and Steve Martin

A favourite film is with the late and great Alistair Sim, as the tight fisted Ebenezer Scrooge ( Charles Dickens') so wonderful and the best 'Christmas Carol' film

Thats also a very good film.

Hadn't seen it in a long time until last year and had forgotten how good it was.

This is not a Christmas themed film but as it was always on the tv on Xmas time when I was a sprog it has got to be The Wizard of Oz. Well nearly finished so I am going to click my Ruby Slippers together and say "There's no place like Home" lol

Hubby loves A Christmas Carol with Scroooge .
I love and prefer the Guns of Navarone and Dirty Dozen and
The Great Escape , Hunt for Red October films .

Robinredbreast · Dec 10, 2014

More of my favourites

Trading Places, so funny, Dan Ackroyd, Eddie Murphy and Jamie leigh Curtis

Love actually, lots of different stories within the film, poor Emma Thompsom, her face when she realises ........... and Bill Nighy, just brilliant

Oldies are Holiday Inn, Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye and

White Christmas

The longer ones the better for me .
I can get lost in the action and plot of it all .
No nibbles either - just engrossed in the film !

I liked Crimson Tide too with Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington. Long film, great actors. Btw I've been on board our ballistic missile submarines. The UK's nuclear deterrent is based 10 miles away from Me and like the films they are BIG inside. I also liked the WW2 film, starring Tony Curtis about a pink submarine that saves a lot of female nurses and it was very funny. Well back to Xmas films lol

When son lived in London he used to see Bill Nighy quite often. Unfortunately he refused to pass on my number with the message that he wouldn't have to ask twice. He didn't pass on the message when he saw Bryan Ferry either.
