Anyone got any favourite old Christmas movies?
I love 'It's a wonderful life'...it has a real good feel to it, as do a lot of the old black and white films. I doubt they would have the same appeal if they were redone today.
I watched the original Brief Encounter decades ago....then they remade it with Sophia Loren and Richard Burton as the two main leads, it should have been good, it wasn't.

One Christmas film I have never seen, and I can't find it on anywhere, is ELF. I will keep looking out for it.

I was watching for the umpteenth time the other days, Jinle all the way. I still laughed, one of my fav Xmas films. If course my fav has always been Scrooge. Seen it so many times, but still love it. I love the one with Alistair Simms, he plays it brilliantly!

Went to the Old Vic last Xmas to see it there as well. Happy days 😆

 I like Arnie, and Jingle all the way is entertaining. Watched The Holiday a couple of years back, I like Cameron Diaz....people raved about it, it was OK ish.

Christmas movies are notoriously awful. I don't think I've ever seen a good one. Maybe some of the really old b&w ones are watchable, but the modern ones are complete and utter shite.

There was a good Xmas cartoon when I was a kid - probably Tom and Jerry, that started 'Twas the night before Christmas'

 I love some of the old black and white films, nostalgia is very comforting on a rainy Sunday afternoon. I haven't had one of those for ages, will have to fit one in soon.

To Kill a Mocking Bird, is a great old film to watch.

 I rarely watch old movies because there is so much choice now and not enough time to watch everything you want to. I enjoy them though if I visit someone and they have one on and are really into it - like an elderly relative, but I wouldn't put one on myself.

I enjoy nostalgia within a movie, where there is an epic sense of the passing of time, with people and places that are forever gone. Ghosts from the past kind of thing.

Yes, I tend to watch new films at home a lot more, but very few are that memorable.
I think we are just more spoiled for choice now. As modern films go, The Joker, with Jaquin Pheonix has been the only one in the last few years that I have actually made the effort to go to the cinema to see....and it was brilliant imo.

 Black and white afternoon films used to be a highlight for me and my mum...brothers generally out playing, ah the peace where we could sit and enjoy a cuppa and some freshly baked fairy cakes, or if extravagant some Battenburg cake.

I love the old movies.  Hobson's Choice is one of favourites.

One of my favourites was one I watched with my mum several times.
Imitation of life...Sandra Dee played the daughter, Lana Turner played the mother.
On the face of it, it was rather glitzy, but the subjects it touched on were very forward thinking.

I also recently watched two weepies 'Beaches' and 'The Notebook' again...neither are that old, but both worth watching.

Speaking of weepies, when you watch with family and friends, do you openly cry, or pretend your nose is running?
