The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year (2008) - Ahh, this Hallmark cheese with the Fonz really lifted my spirits. 7/10
Posted by Pittsburghgirl (Member # 7514) on :
I watched one of my favorites a few days ago, The Christmas Card. My Husband bought Auntie Mame for me a few weeks ago on EBay. I watch it every year around Christmas. But we no longer have TCM channel, so I wanted the dvd.

Oh, I like The Christmas Card Posted by Pyro (Member # 7658) on :
Babes In Toyland (1986)
This still definitely ranks as one of the cheesiest Christmas movies ever in my book. But it's one I still find myself sitting down and watching every few years or so around the holidays.

A Christmas Carol (1999) - While Patrick Stewart doesn't quite make it into my absolute favourite portrayals, he is the Scrooge that makes me the saddest. My heart aches for him throughout the film and I couldn't be anymore chuffed for him at the end <3 8/10
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
Just watched The Nightmare Before Christmas while eating Frosty fancies cakes. Today is a good day 10/10
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
Snowmen - Other than there being Snowmen and one house with Christmas lights on it wasn't very Christmassy. But it was a gorgeous film. One of the best with kids in the lead. I bawled my eyes out. Really enjoyed Christopher Lloyd's small part too. 8/10

I remember this from back in the days of VHS rentals at Hollywood Video. I’ve never seen it.

Snow Day (2000). Students steal a snow plow and fend off it’s crazy driver in an attempt to keep school closed for a second day. Not sure this qualifies as a Christmas movie. It’s just an okay film. I certainly can’t imagine kids nowadays playing in the snow, ice skating, etc.
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
A Very Nutty Christmas - Super adorable one starring Melissa Joan Hart and Conchata Ferrell. 8/10

Omg I have no idea how that posted twice, 😂🤦🏼♀️

Haha Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
Santa's Summer House - What the hell did I just watch?!! Car crash TV!! I swear 2 of the ornaments in Santa's summer house were The Count in a Christmas outfit and a tree with a great big ___ that was wearing red stilettos!! Atrocious dialogue, incessantly bad piano music and there was an ALMOST 15 MINUTES LONG CROQUET SCENE!! Just wow lol 4/10

P2 - I've seen this a few times now but this was the most I've enjoyed it. A good kidnap horror set on Christmas Eve. 7/10
Posted by Johnny Roarke is reckless (Member # 9826) on :
I remember P2.. i believe i saw it on TV about two years ago or something. Decent little movie, surprisingly violent at moments if i remember correctly.
I recently watched something similar, ATM (2012), about three colleagues getting trapped at an ATM late at night after an office Christmas party.
Anyway.. as of today (sunday 6th), one of our Dutch TV channels starts airing at least two Christmas films each day, mostly fairly recent TV fare. I doubt i'll watch any of these (and i seriously wonder if there are people brave enough to watch all of them), but i thought it might be fun to list the channel's schedule for upcoming week, so i feel i've contributed at least something to this year's Christmas thread.
Sunday 6th :
- Once Upon A Christmas Miracle (2018) - The Christmas Cure (2017) - All I Want For Christmas (2013)
Monday 7th :
- Christmas Getaway (2017) - Coming Home For Christmas (2017)
Tuesday 8th :
- Write Before Christmas (2019) - The Christmas Contract (2018)
Wednesday 9th :
- Christmas Connection (2017) - My Christmas Dream (2016)
Thursday 10th :
- Jingle Around The Clock (2018) - Looks Like Christmas (2016)
Friday 11th :
- Road To Christmas (2018) - Hearts Of Christmas (2016)
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
A brave person to sit through all of those indeed haha
I've seen 3 of them, Once Upon A Christmas Miracle, Jingle Around The Clock and Looks Like Christmas. All ok.
I remember watching ATM, it was decent Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
All I Want For Christmas Is You - That was actually super adorable. And Mariah Carey's voiceovers made me chuckle. 7/10
Arthur Christmas - I think the first time I saw this was late at night after a double shift and wasn't impressed. Much more enjoyable this time. Bumped from a 4 to 6/10
Christmas With The Kranks - Love this ball of joy. 7/10
Posted by Johnny Roarke is reckless (Member # 9826) on :
From the TV schedule I actually ended up watching All I Want For Christmas (2013) late last sunday evening (apparently not to be confused with All I Want For Christmas Is You that Helen mentioned), and it was dreadful !
I also saw bits and pieces of several of the other titles, and found out there were actually two films starring Danica McKellar (Winnie Cooper in The Wonder Years), all grown up yet still easily recognizable. These two, Coming Home For Christmas (2017) and My Christmas Dream (2016), were at least several steps above the truly awful All I Want For Christmas.. corny and predictable, but modestly entertaining.

Sunday 13th :
- Christmas Under The Stars (2019) - 12 Days Of Giving (2017) - A Husband For Christmas (2016)

Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
Haven't seen any of those ones.
Aww yeah, I've seen Danica in a couple of non Christmas cheese films Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Bad Santa (2003) 7/10
Very funny non-pc black christmas comedy with great performances from Billy Bob Thornton, Tony Cox, Brett Kelly, Bernie Mac and John Ritter.
Anna and the Apocalypse (2017) 8/10
Great christmas comedy horror musical with awesome cast and fantastic songs. Recommended!
Posted by Pittsburghgirl (Member # 7514) on :
I love Bad Santa. I haven’t watched it this year yet.
