Ross Kemp was in A Christmas Carol ( ?? - it was based on the story, can't remember the name of it) a few years ago, it was a two-parter on the BBC. Don't know if you can buy it but it was excellent :T

I still don't know if I enjoyed Bad Santa or not :rotfl:

I watched it last year but some of the swearing really put me off it, though I can still remember a fair bit now so having you thinking of it a year on must be good.

Love Elf too, and The Santa Clause movies. (especially the one that's out now! number 3 I think it is)

It's not a film, but the scrubs cast take on Charlie Brown Christmas is fabtastic! - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=20Of_mna-Rs


Edit: Deck The Halls and Love Actually - a vote from here too!

Quite bizarrly our favourite christmas family film is The Wizard of Oz. The BBC used to show this every christmas eve and because our mum was so busy she used to park me and my sister in front of it. Now aged 38 and 35 me and my sister nearly always get together on christmas eve to watch it.

Also my children like:
The Polar Express
The Muppet Christmas Carol
Bob the Builder: A Christmas to Remember (has the voices of Elton John, Noddy Holder and Chris Evans)
The Snowman
How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Dh's favourite is It's a Wonderful Life

Not exactly a Christmas film BUT a great family film called "Into the West" I think it was released in 1992.

About an Irish family of travellers and a horse, it has two children who take a fabulous part, it is both funny and moving at the same time, a real feel good film with a happy ending.

Another good one although not overly xmassy is bridget jones. christmas with the kranks as someone else mentioned is really good and makes you appreciate christmas by the end.
