![]() | A Christmas Carol [DVD] [1984]
Buy new: £4.48 Close call between this and Scrooge, but I love the George C Scott performance. In fact all of the actors are great in this. Shot in Shrewsbury (1984). Classic Xmas movie.
|
![]() | Scrooge (Christmas Special Release) (Two Discs) (DVD) [1951]
Buy used from: £14.99 Packed with extras this is an absolute gem. Many people's number one Xmas movie and I know why. Alistair Sim is fantastic and the black and white film is atmospheric. MANY great extras on this DVD.
|
![]() | The Polar Express - Special Edition [DVD] [2004]
Buy used from: £11.98 Superb Christmas movie. Took me back to being a kid again. Great animation. The wolves/eagle/ segment is pure genius. Captures the child's view of Christmas I remember well.
|
![]() | National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation [DVD] [1989]
Buy new: £4.88 / Used from: £3.69 John Hughes' absolute classic. One to watch again and again. The film that influenced a whole generation of exterior illuminators! Clark W Griswold Jnr! A great film we watch every year without fail.
|
![]() | It's A Wonderful Life [DVD] [1946]
Buy used from: £18.75 Only the final part of this most perfect movie is about Christmas, but it's as heart-warming as it gets. Feel-good factor of 100%. James Stewart is fantastic as always.
|
![]() | Home Alone [DVD] [1990]
Buy new: £7.07 / Used from: £4.99 Another John Hughes gem that has to be watched each year. Culkin and Pesci are great with their Tom & Jerry-style violence. Kids love it.
|
![]() | Miracle On 34th Street [DVD] [1994]
Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £4.50 Yet again, the genius that is John Hughes (albeit his remake of the classic). Sir Richard Attenborough is brilliant in this movie, as is Mara Wilson and Dylan McDermott.
|
![]() | The Santa Clause [DVD] [1995]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.00 Good movie starring Tim Allen. At Xmas we tend to get the usual rubbish churned out which for me began with Jingle All The Way. But this is a pretty good movie.
|
![]() | Home Alone 2 - Lost In New York [1992] [DVD]
Buy new: £4.97 / Used from: £3.78 Sequals don't alays work. This does. A great follow-up to the classic Home Alone.
|
![]() | Deck The Halls [DVD] [2006]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.40 Really enjoyed this movie. Unreal extremes with the lights on De Vito's house. Broderick is cool. Entertaining.
|
![]() | Christmas with the Kranks [DVD] [2004]
Buy new: £3.28 / Used from: £1.50 Another good Xmas film with Tim Allen. Ackroyd (the genius that is) and Jamie Lee Curtis co-star. Not the best Xmas film ever but I enjoyed it.
|
![]() | The Snowman [DVD] [1982]
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £2.75 Fantastic short, classic cartoon by Raymond Briggs (When The Wind Blows). A visual treat for kids and adults alike.
|
![]() | Jamie's Christmas [DVD]
Buy used from: £3.00 Okay, for the chefs only. I add this because it's a DVD crammed with great tips for Xmas lunch. REALLY. And it is very Christmassy! : )
|
![]() | The Woman in Black [DVD] [1989] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
Buy used from: £16.99 I.M.O. The best ghost story EVER (along with A Christmas Carol). What Christmas would be complete without a spine chiller by the fireside?
|
![]() | Blackadder's Christmas Carol [1988] [DVD]
Buy new: £5.38 / Used from: £4.80 This is an amusing take on the classic Dickens tale with Rowan Atkinson and the gang providing many funny moments.
|
![]() | Black Christmas [1974] [DVD]
Buy new: £10.48 / Used from: £5.55 The original stalk and slash movie that started it all off. Again, clear the pallate with a cool horror film! Late at night...lights out...warming fire...a Yuletide libation.....ahhhhh
|
![]() | The Fearless Vampire Killers [DVD] [1967]
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £2.50 Not a Christmas film per-se, but this is one of those you have to watch at Christmas. It has all things in place. Snow. Cold. Vampires. Castle. Hunchback. Weird villagers. Another late-night-er!
|
![]() | The Muppet Christmas Carol [DVD] [1992]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £11.99 Everyone likes the muppets don't they? It's another take on the classic tale. Many people's favourite I understand? Enjoyable, with Michael Caine as Scrooge.
|
![]() | The Nightmare Before Christmas (Special Edition) [1994] [DVD]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.00 Tim Burton...Hallowe'en Town...Jack Skellington...Christmastown. Typical Burton stop-action animation. Very popular.
|
![]() | Around The Christmas Tree [DVD]
Buy new: £5.89 / Used from: £10.50 For those who like images and sounds of Christmas. Crackling fires, seasonal fayre, snow, Santa. Also check out "A Traditional Christmas".
|
![]() | Festive Firelight - Seasonal Warmth (DVD)
Buy new: £9.79 Okay, this is weird. BUT it's somehow cool. A log fire burns on your TV. Read a book, nice and quiet, relaxed, and the sound of a real fire and the sight of flames on your TV... well...I like it.
|
![]() | Charlie Brown - I Want A Dog For Christmas / A Charlie Brown Christmas [DVD]
What can you say? Classic. By the way, after the Top 5 in my list these are in no particular order...Just favourites.
|
![]() | The Choir Of Clare College, Cambridge - Christmas Carols From Cambridge [DVD]
Buy new: £19.59 Great to have on in the background when busy wrapping presents or preparing Christmas lunch. Very Christmassy.
|
![]() | Alan Partridge : Knowing Me, Knowing You/Knowing Me, Knowing Yule - Complete BBC Series [1994] [DVD]
Buy new: £5.48 / Used from: £3.38 The Christmas Special of Alan Partridge. A superb character from Iannucci, Marber and Schneider. And, of course, the brilliant Steve Coogan. Funny.
|
![]() | The Vicar of Dibley - The Complete First Series [1994] [DVD]
Buy new: £4.97 / Used from: £1.10 Another British comedy special I suppose, but purely for the episode "The Christmas Lunch Incident". EXCELLENT. The WINTER seasonal special is also fantastic. But I think it's only out on VHS : (
