Now that Christmas preparations are well underway, we’ve dug out our collection of Christmas movies, and have watched one per night (pretty much) over the past week. Of course, there was a night off in the middle of the week for me to watch Kirsty’s gorgeous, wonderful, magical ‘Homemade Christmas’!!! Look at my collection.....
A random mix of videos, ‘proper’ DVDs, and DVDs that came free with newspapers! We have plenty more Christmas movies that we recorded from the telly onto blank videos too – many moons ago!!! It’s a funny old collection, but I LOVE it! Every December, I really look forward to finding them, dusting them off and re-watching them AGAIN for the umpteenth time.
And I thought I’d share with you my ‘Top 20’ list. Choosing my favourite 20 was pretty easy. But ordering them was quite tricky, as I love them all for different reasons. Some are funny, some I remember watching when I was a little girl, some are extra-christmassy, some are really magical, some are beautiful, and some just make me smile. If there are any on the list that you haven’t seen yet, I really recommend that you give them a try! Also, if you know of any good ones that I haven’t included, please let me know! One can NEVER have too many Christmas movies!!!
So, here’s the list:
1. Home Alone (1990)
2. Elf (2003)
3. The Santa Clause (1994)
4. Surviving Christmas (2004)
5. Home Alone 2 (1992)
6. A Christmas Carol (1999)
7. The Snow Queen (2005)
8. Miracle on 34th Street (1994)
9. Santa Claus the Movie (1985)
10. The Snow Queen (2002)
11. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1988)
12. National Lampoons Christmas Vacation (1989)
13. Christmas with the Cranks (2004)
14. Nativity! (2009)
15. Fred Claus (2007)
16. The Snowman (1982)
17. The Greatest Store in the World (1999)
18. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
19. Olive the Other Reindeer (1999)
20. Jack Frost (1998)
I hope your Christmas preparations are going well, dear reader!
I'll be back soon, with more Christmas cheer.....

Its a wonderful life from 1946 is a real feelgood christmas film, I highly recommend it and I just love White Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMuch to my husbands amusement I love any of the schmaltzy christmas films on the lesser known sky channels at this time of year!
Have you seen The Holiday, Polar Express and Love Actually? They're also some of my favs. Im looking forward to next week when I'll have some time to watch movies and get all christmassy!
ReplyDeleteThese are all fab movies. I love A Christmas Romance with Olivia Newton-John and One Magic Christmas is really good. And I agree with Anne, you can't go wrong with White Christmas.
