    There are three types of Christmas film. 

    1. Films about Xmas
    2. Films set during Xmas
    3. Films we watch at Xmas

    With that in mind, I’d go: 

    1. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
    2. Die Hard or Gremlins
    3. Wizard of Oz Edit - I made a huge mistake. Clearly it's the LotR trilogy. 

    I would still go:

    1. NL Christmas Vacation
    2. NL Christmas Vacation
    3. NL Christmas Vacation

    Did you see the whole film? I can understand why someone might switch off halfway through. It's slow and relatively uneventful. However, the second half is what lifts it into 'classic' status, not just for the uplifting final scenes but the surprisingly dark scenes where James Stewart's character gets to breaking point.

    The French version, Angel by Luc Beson, (I think I’m correct
    ), is  really good but you do have to read subtitles. Nothing to do with Christmas and the main character isn’t a good man. Really worth an hour or two of your life.

    Went to see Home Alone in the cinema today with the kids, was brilliant to hear all the kids in the room laughing so much at the slapstick bits in the last half ab hour or so.

    If anyone's looking for an off the wall choice, Love & Peace by Sion Sono contains, I think, the best Father Christmas re-imagining I've seen, despite being a madcap Japanese comedy about a lonely loser who wishes on a magic terrapin, who lives in a sewer with a tramp and a load of creepy discarded toys, to become a stadium rock star, only to find the terrapin grows in correlation with his ambitions as his career explodes. If you can find it, it's something to see, and the Father Xmas storyline had me in bits the first time I saw it.
