That's definitely a Christmas movie. A lot of crazy things happen at office Xmas parties!

It's a generational thing.

Standard fare fondly remembered includes thing like Marx Brothers, Clint the gunslinger films, Bridge over the River Kwai, Carry on ........ , The Great Escape, the Morecombe and Wise Christmas show ......... - you get the idea.

Thus far today we have been treated (Freeview not Netflix etc) to Cinderella, Kung Fu Panda 2, Jingle all the Way - with many more audio visual delights to follow this afternoon.

Will todays youth remember fondly, as they approach and then pass retirement in 50-60 years time, the animated feel good movies of their use, or will they be as bored as I.

I dare say nostalgia for our youth will always be present for every generation in some form or other

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Now I haven’t seen that for years.

I do put on it’s a wonderful life every year to the horror of the rest of the family

Another vote for Die Hard.

Others are Home Alone, Iron Man 3, It's a Wonderful Life etc.

Not a Christmas movie but tends to be on at Christmas, Where eagles dare.

Watched Die Hard last night. Definitely a Christmas movie.

My Father always threatened to remove the socket from the tv if my mother suggested putting it on.

I'm a Postie and I hate the build up to Christmas, I used to love it before starting the job ..... not any more though. I've only had talk radio channels on in the van while out and about, I can't listen to any of the Christmas songs.

That said, now that I have 3 days off, I actually watched 'White Christmas' and I enjoyed it. It reminds of being a youngster watching the older films, they just seem to have a certain feel to them. Maybe that's just me.

Merry Christmas everyone

Where Eagles Dare always feels Christmassy just because of the amount of snow involved

Bad Santa is a Christmas tradition here
