I am usually more one for overly cheesy family Christmas movies (last year I saw The Search for Santa Paws and I really enjoyed that)
You enjoyed Santa Paws?! My little girl was almost in tears, the kids parents died, then santa died, then the dog died, then when the girl was climbing into the incinerator to save her dolly, she was on her feet at that point, chin on the floor, pointing at the screen and looking at me as it to say 'do something mum, save her'! 8O Full of Christmas Cheer that one! lol

Must admit Love Actually is one of my favourites, we always end up watching the Home Alone films too, the kids love them

:xmas:
Not enjoyed as in "hahaha" but as in I was very moved by the movie (aka I cried buckets). I like (again, not as in "haha") tearjerkers like that, especially in a Christmas setting.

And the Santa claus movies. But I prefer tim Allen ones rather than Dudley Moore.

Does anyone have any recs for obscure/quite unknown Christmas movies they love? The ones mentioned so far I've already seen (the Christmas lover I am) but I'd really like to watch some "hidden gems" this year :D
