"The do get shown a lot at Xmas too. Like back to the future, superman, ET, etc. Xx"

Lethal weapon is set around Christmas and is a better film in my opinion. But that aside, I do watch both over Christmas so for me they’re category b Christmas Films.
Cat A
Scrooge (Alistair Sim version)
A Miracle on 34th Street
It’s a Wonderful life
Home Alone
Holiday Inn
Love Actually
To be controversial slightly Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Etc...
Cat B
Lethal Weapon
Gremlins
Die Hard
So any other film around Christmas but not actually regarded as classic is a cat B  |

It's a wonderful life is my favorite film |

I've had this argument with my son many many times. So in the end we came to an agreement.
It is not a traditional Christmas film, tinsel, Santa, eggnog. More bullets, blood and money.... but it is set at Christmas so it does count as a Xmas movie. |

TBH I'd put It's a wonderful Life in category B really. It's pretty fucking harsh at times |

Agree it’s actually quite harsh all the way through the film and it’s start and end is the only real Christmas theme part. But it’s seen by the majority as a Christmas staple now, just like The Wizard of Oz was always on at Christmas, when I was a child. But would that be seen as a Christmas Film ? |

Home Alone is a story about child abandonment and attempted robbery... which happens to be set at Christmas time... So should be in exactly the same category as Die Hard |

"When I use to watch TV one film always seemed to be on.
The Goonies. Or as I called it.
Not that fucking shit again!"
I only saw that last year. Always heard it was this amazing childhood classic. Turns out it's just rubbish. |
