Favourite (Christmas) films.
Just to try & lighten the mood -after you know what!
What are the reader's favourite films to watch at Christmas? Doesn't have to be a Christmas film!
I have just dug out my DVD of 'Far from the madding crowd' - the classic one with Julie Christie. It used to be on TV at this time quite a lot and my dad loved it.
One of my own favourites, perfect in every department, story, acting, music score, detail, direction, casting, photography, with dark moments and a few lighter ones. The Dorset scenery is stunning. 10/10............

Anything from Harry Potter, James Bond or The Hobbit / Lord of the Ring series.

Father Christmas the movie, a magical film for kids
I’m pencilling in a Christmas Carol with Guy Pearce, and although not strictly a film but Call the Midwife too.
If you haven’t watched...
A CHRISTMAS STORY..... with Bob Clarke....can I recommend it very highly here.
It brings back memories of Christmas past... it brings in a warm nostalgia of being a kid who desperately wants an air rifle for Christmas....one to enjoy at any time during the holiday....
Especially if you know what rubbish the bbc is regurgitating.
Hobbo

Streaming services have opened up whole new viewing pleasures. I remember when I was younger always being subjected to the Wizard of Oz on TV, no choice, and I went from loving it to not groaning when I saw it was on again. My daughter will watch Elf on repeat if she could. I cant say I'm one for watching films over again except .. I could watch Chicago again.
No contest: “Some like it Hot”.
The Christmas Carol starring Patrick Stuart (It was only made for television so gets overlooked) Lord of the Rings, any John Wayne film, and The King Arthur Film starring Clive Owen (2004)
