I expect they'll put "The Great Escape" on for the umpteenth time. I never figured out what connection that has with Christmas. Roll Eyes

One I always liked was an old black & white film with James Stewart in the leading role but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it. ??? Cheesy

Nah, they can stick their holiday TV schedules as far as I'm concerned. Might watch the Two Ronnies though.

To me, nothing beats the classic A Christmas Carol.

but......National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is worth a bunch of laughs.

Ah Thanks. A Wonderful Life with good ol' Jimmy Stewart. That's the one & a true classic. They don't seem to make 'em like that any more.

At first I thought you meant this one. Wonderful Life starring Cliff Richard & the Shadows. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000695KB/203-7174086-6688734
I can't remember what it was like but I must have seen it at least once. Not as well-known as his other films Expresso Bongo, The Young Ones & Summer Holiday & you Yanks have probably never heard of him. He might be considered old hat now but Cliff Richard was a rock 'n roller in those days & I was a big fan. Not much of a film star though.

"Dambusters" - it's on every year somewhere.

I also like the one where that guy is Santa in his local carnival, but it all goes wrong and he nearly doesn't gett all of his christmas presents - I can't remember what it's called, but that's all I can remember. Grin

and there was another one I liked, where this bloke imnpersonated Santa, and they thought Santa was the imposter, so they arrested him, and the imposter nearly killed this family but good ol' Santa saved them. And basically, everybody (except this little girl) was against Santa because they thought he was an imposter, but then the little girl proved to her family that he really was Santa.

I like those films!! Grin

Tough to pin down just one... "It's a Wonderful Life" is right up there, but I also really like "The Nightmare Before Christmas"... perfect for Xmas or Halloween...

But I guess if I had to choose just one, it'd have to be "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". The good one, not the crummy remake.
