Best Christmas film ever

Sue Davies (Elite) posted this on Thursday, 15th December 2005, 09:22

No doubt channel 4 has pumped this one out of the celebrity sausage factory but the criteria here are:

1. It must have at least one scene/act that releated to Christmas
2. It must not have Chevy Chase in it(oh OK if you insist)


Mine are( I spent the carol service thinking of these)

1. Meet me in St Louis
2. It`s a Wonderful Life
3. The Wizard of Oz



They all feature dysfunctional families which is what Christmas is all about :p
I`d add Groundhog Day because it has snow but it is set in February(come to think of it the sequel of having to eat Christmas dinner 3000 before you learn your lesson could be just around the corner "Chris-hell day"-watch the repeats all year, that would be the stuffing)
if there was a favourite book then it would be the John Grisham -Skipping Christmasthat they unfortunately made into Christmas with the Kranks(I haven`t seen it but its awful)

OK your turn!

Yep, begins with the Nativity and has encounters with Christ (through person and symbol) througout.
