Sat with a glass of red and circling all the tele I want to record this christmas. Tradition of mine. I like the classic films, and some old comedy rubbish as well. Wife goes mad because I record stuff I recorded last year but never watched <laugh>. Anyway some early favs had the bid red pen circling it.

The big sleep
Die hard
The wizard of oz (scares the **** out of me tbh)
Trading places
Godfather 1 and 2
Close encounters (what a bloody film)
Zulu (every bloody year)
Four weddings and a funeral (i shouldnt I know but I love it)
Magnificent seven
Butch cassidy
Outlaw Josey Wales (all time fav western)
Rain man

Missus will go mad when she gets her magazine back <laugh><laugh>

Fair play to you mate. Because of Sky, netflix etc etc it's just not the same anymore. Bought the Radio Times for tradition (bawked at the £5.50 like), but havn't checked it out yet. Will try to avoid tv and play games with the kids whilst drinking my way through it all.

Agree mate. I just like looking through and picking out stuff then set record on the sky box. This year I wont get chance to watch much as we have a house full at Christmas and New Year. Maybe in Jan, I will sit down flick through and delete it all again <laugh>

I remember that as a youngster in the 90s, sat going through the TV lists. Good job mam and dad got me a pack of 5 Scotch 240s tapes. Best believe they were getting hammered.
