Christmas movies

[Elbow beards]

Those Rankin & Bass animated/puppet series are still Xmas classics in our household - Rudolph, Santa Claus Comin' to Town & Frosty

There's a documentary on Netflix about how they were the influence for elf, they even copied the costumes and some scenes. So much so that they tries to sue them for it.

No doubt, there are scenes in Elf that are clearly ripped off early in film

Settling down this after to watch one of my all time Xmas films... Where Eagles Dare. Love all the festive snow scenes

Millions, directed by Danny Boyle, is a great Xmas film.

Watched Its a Wonderful Life yesterday and watching Elf now. Merry Christmas to one and all.

Just to be consistent as the OP - am watching Its a Wonderful Life on Film 4 right now - putting the decs up and all of a sudden its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

Currently watching Scrooge the Albert Finney version, I’ve never seen it before! So got me thinking my favourite Scrooge films
Alastair Sim version
Animated Jim Carey one especially in 3D
Muppets,bit of trivia the shop at the end is called Mickelwhites (Michael Caines real name)
Scrooged Bill Murray
There are others but they’ve never really grabbed me, not so sure on this Finney version but seems quite good.

There is an absolute fantastic Batman version, where Bob cratchett robs a bank to pay for Tiny tims medical bills and batman is tracking him. Other superheroes stand in for the 3 ghosts. I cant remember who it is but the hero representing "yet to come" warns batman that if he imprisons Cratchett then Tim will die and in Bob's grief he will lead him to become a supervillian! Really good version with a cool suit too
