My brother religiously watches the original Die Hard every Christmas - it's his favourite "xmas film" and i think I may watch it on BluRay this year at some point.
Most years, i will watch Gremlins, which, although somewhat dark, is one of my top xmas films. This year i've decided to watch a couple of others which i havent watched for years instead:
- Scrooged - the christmas carol tale, but with Bill Murray
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096061/i am saving this one until 1/2 days before xmas
- John Carpenter's The Thing - technically not a christmas story, but it's a classic and has lots of snow!!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084787/Just watched this and it's as fantastic as ever, a really good sci-fi thriller, and one of Carpenter's finest.
what will everyone else be watching this year, and what are your favourite xmas films?
