The Batman Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Too many to mention on both counts. If I had to break it down to the thinnest of margins... . . Scrooge (1951) Luitenant Kije. Troika. And Die Hard is definitely a Christmas film, as is Die Hard 2. And Batman Returns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Favourite song - Film - It's a Wonderful Life because it's so much darker than people think it's going to be, followed by Gremlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 I can’t recall ever hearing it on Radio 1, and it’s probably not even my ‘favourite’ Christmas song, but it always makes me laugh. Kevin Wilson - Hey Santa Claus On the other end of the scale, one of my favourite Christmas films would have to be Joyeux Noël, based on the World War 1 Christmas truce. Well worth watching, if you haven’t seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 I went to see Violent Night today. If you don't know what it's about the best description I can think of is, it's like The Santa Claus meets Deadpool.
