Your top 5 Christmas films.

[theforceuk]

Come on then lets see your favourite films to watch over Christmas, they don't have to be actual Christmas films just ones that you have always loved watching over Christmas.

I'm leaving Star Wars out of my list as the origional trilogy would take up the first 3 places, so mine are,

1 - Clash of the Titans, loved watching this as a kid and watched it twice last Christmas, the start was filmed in Cornwall not far from where I grew up which I only found out last year.

2 - Santa Claus the movie, everything you wanted to watch as a kid at Christmas, still love it.

3 - Pans Labyrinth, watched it over and over growing up, great adventure film.

4 - Time Bandits, another great adventure film that reminds me of Christmas Eve.

5 - Conan the Barbarian, probably shouldn't have been watching this in the late 80's, early 90's but I did and I loved it!

Look forward to seeing all yours!!!

Die Hard, Home Alone and Love Actually are three I always seem to end up watching at this time of year, other than that I used to look forward to whatever the "big" premier was for BBC/ITV.
