    Seeing as it is actually December now I think it is appropriate to delve into Christmas starting with what your favourite Christmas Film is.

    Doesn't have to be about Christmas but could be set during Christmas (Gremlins, Trading Places etc)

    Or it could be a film that you remember always being on TV over the holidays (Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz)

    The poll below is not extensive, merely gives you an idea of the sort of stuff I'd say are bona fide Christmas Classics

    Loads I've not put on the poll, it was just to get things started

    Hey man, just a bit of friendly competition! You're doing fine on here with your 20 pager, cut a brother some slack in this season of good will to all. Well, mostly all.

    From one of my favourite seasonal films

    Why don't you start a thread Toby? Christmas themed or otherwise I'm sure it will be a great success.
