Christmas Films for Geeks

My favourite thing about Christmas is the Christmas Lectures, even though I always manage to miss most of them. I’m not good at keeping up with the tv.  My second favourite thing about Christmas though is the Christmas Films! These are the Christmas films I love.

Gremlins

I only saw this for the first time last year, I don’t know why I waited so long to watch it. It’s the perfect Christmas film, piles of snow, cute fuzzy creatures, a love story and lots of violence and mayhem!

 

Die Hard

As above, but with a rather attractive Bruce Willis instead of fuzzy creatures!

 

Rare Exports – A Christmas Tale

A Finnish film, you will never think of Santa Clause the same way after watching this.

 

Hogfather

Live action version of the Terry Pratchett story where Death has to play the Hogfather at Christmas time.

 

Troll Hunter

This isn’t set at Christmas, but it has some snow in it, therefore it counts.

 

The Never Ending Story

Also not set at Christmas, and I don’t think there’s any snow in it but for some reason this makes me feel very Christmassy.

 

Narnia

Lovely version of a lovely story!

 

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Almost set at Christmas, we saw this at the old Hyde Park picture house last Saturday night. Very funny, the bit where John Candy is driving the wrong way on a motorway is genius!

 

Dead Snow

My boyfriend made me put this in. Snow and zombies. It is rather crap but a lot of fun.
