Could not see a thread for this, so thought I would start one.
What gems do we have in store this year then?

The BBC is swaggering into 'Christmas' TV by showing the brilliant Luther and Doctor Who Christmas Special a week later on New Years Day.

I think Infinity War will be on Sky Movies on Christmas Day, so I will probably re-watch that at some point

I shall certainly be watching the greatest Christmas film ever made for the 30th time. Die Hard. Anyone who says it's not a Christmas film is plain wrong.

ITV showing all the Craig Bond movies.
BBC showing that total utter crock of st mrs Brown's Boys FFS furious
Terrestrial TV just gets worse - I think I'll be looking at Amazon/Netflix or possibly Google Play Movies.

The BBC trailer seems to suggest that all of their films over the festive period are animations. That's not to say a decent animated film isn't good, but is that all there is? That said, it was rubbish last year IIRC. This is about the time that I start clearing space off my HDD recorder, and it doesn't look much like I need to.

Seeing it on the 24th December at the cinema on its 30th anniversary re-release.

I only have 2 Christmas films I like so I'll watch them at some point, hopefully with a massive hangover.

Die Hard
Love Actually

Very similar films.

If I'm slightly drunk then I'd add Home Alone to that list but it's a bit too violent.

I'll be at my parents house so in theory have to watch what they watch but I downloaded the Sky app onto my phone so now I can control the viewing and for the last 3 years they still haven't worked out how the TV keeps changing by itself.

Very true about Home Alone, luckily very little violence in Die Hard smile

Die Hard
Love Actually
The Holiday
Miracle on 34th Street
It’s A Wonderful Life

The must watch list. Every year.

If the wife has her way, include Yogi’s First Christmas on that list. I can’t stand it though.
