In reply to The New NickB:
Really just one for me: Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the 1971 version)

Seemed to be on every Christmas at some stage in the afternoon. I used to complain that it was awful and a terrible waste of airtime until one Chirstmas I actually WATCHED it fully and decided it was actually rather good.
Still quite like it, and think the new one's bad and unnecessary. I'll probably change my mind on that one too when I get down to watching it
