Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves - pure entertainment

 


A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

Back in the 70s I remember El Cid being on most Christmas weeks also the John Wayne version of the Alamo

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is often on at Christmas and is a classic

Technically I believe its a Thanksgiving movie so I figured I'd mention it!

Agreed - classic.

For some reason I have a desire to rewatch 'Animal House' this Xmas....not really a Christmas movie but it will probably chime with my drunken state.

The Longest Day, mainly because that's what Christmas Day feels like! But it is a great movie looking at D Day from all PsOV.

The Longest Day is possibly the movie I've watched more times than any other (close run with The Godfather and Zulu).

A great collection of cameo scenes and performances (some of the scenes quite preposterous, but who cares?!). Much of the acting talent of the early 60s outshone by a handful of lines each from Richard Burton and Kenneth More.

Haha, I knew it. Loved the Elmo character too.


Ever Decreasing Circles is another really good'un from back in the day. I prefer the working class stuff though mostly.

The Railway Children, my missus would suggest.

I prefer something a bit more grim to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus.
Terminator 2
Deathwish
Dirty Harry
I bought a Vampire motorcycle
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original)

It kind of brings the 'Herod' out in me.

 


I disengage, I turn the page.

When I was a kid, I always used to look forward to Norman Wisdom and Tarzan films that were always on at Christmas
