I don't I have noticed you people talking about this so here goes,
What is the movie you associate with Christmas, which you simply love watching during this time of the year? :D

An interesting topic, Machupicchu.

I have never liked "The Snowman"- but that's just me.

Also like 'Holiday Inn' - which was the debut of the song 'White Christmas' and Meet Me In St Louis for the Christmas scene. :-)

I don't think I know any Christmas movies, so I just read the Main Street books by Ann M Martin. :lol:

Gosh, I don't think I know any Christmas movies either! :shock: I have seen a few, but none so memorable that I wanted to watch them every December. But I used to have (probably still do have somewhere) an excellent dramatised audio recording of A Christmas Carol (on cassette!) — somewhat abridged from the book, but definitely with all the important parts and really beautifully done. I used to listen to that every Christmas eve, and re-read Dickens' original story as well. Haven't read it for some years, but I can still quote whole chunks of it by heart. :D

Lost Christmas (TV film, 2011) is one of the best, I think. It's emotional and atmospheric and kept me guessing right to the end. Really unusual and moving.

I'm not hugely familiar with Christmas movies, but I saw It's A Wonderful Life about 11 years ago and thought it was one of the most amazing, beautiful films I've ever seen.

Something connected with Christmas I do like is the Tom and Jerry short, The Night Before Christmas. It's very emotional!
