    I've never seen its a wonderful life. I'll take your word for it.

    You really should. Nice story and starring James Stewart.
    Films don't get much better than that.
    Who's James Stewart?

    I thought he was the bloke in charge of the Enterprise and trained all the X-Men...

    ...then I realised I was thinking of Patrick Stewart!!

    To be fair, I haven't seen any of those films listed that he'd starred in.

    I love Bad Santa but for me the best Christmas Film is "it's a wonderful life" because it's a lot darker than people think especially the sequence where his wish to have never lived is granted, brilliant film.

    As for Elf sorry folks I find Will Ferrell about as funny as dysentery.

    This.

    I watched It's a Wonderful Life for the first time last weekend. What a great film, even the kids enjoyed it (considering its nearly 70 years old).

    Surprised none of the females have gone for 'Love Actually'

    A rather sexist comment?

    National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. Chevy Chase cracking under the pressure of delivering the perfect christmas for his extended family. A classic.

    Jingle All The Way. Hit and miss but worth a watch for Phil Hartman's turn as the snivelling neighbour who is trying to smash Arnie's wife.

    There is no argument to be had here

    Gremlins

    That is all


    Love Actually is superb and a worthy 2nd place.

    I love The Apartment and was watching it again at the weekend but, like you, have never thought of it as a Christmas movie. Maybe because it's actually based on quite a sad subject matter rather than a knockabout feel good film. 

    It's a Wonderful Life is of course also quite a melancholic film but it ain't Christmas until I've watched it!

    I only found out Elf existed because of this thread. Great film. I have a huge spot for the Jim Carey/Disney Christmas Carol. Love Actually is also right up there with the best. And out on a limb, Arthur Christmas is good. But my current favourite is Klaus  which arrived on Netflix last year and has a great take on the Santa story, and ends perfectly.
