Agree with....

Home Alone
Die Hard

Also that one with Dudley Moore as an elf that runs away from the North Pole (with John Lithgow)

[father ted]

forgot.....'the christmas racoons'

[AlexH]

Any James Bond
Cheesy Disney ones like 'One of our dinosaurs is missing'

[v8thunder]

-All '60s/'70s Bonds, particularly ones involving skiing.
-Back To The Future trilogy (my Dad always cringes at the second one with the flying Citroen DS)
-Independance Day
-Ronin
-The ideal Christmas film, for Christmas Eve at least, is one you vaguely remember coming on at the cinema a while ago but never went to see. Last year they showed Rush Hour, which I'd never seen and thought was going to be crap, but it wasn't - nice surprise.

Oh, and Clarkson was right - The Great Escape is never on! There was a time when it was played incessantly over Christmas and New Year, but over, say, the last ten years I can't particularly remember in being on.

Miracle on 34th Street, preferably the 1947 version but the recent one is great too.

Gremlins
