Not Christmas themed films like A Wonderful Life, Miracle on 42th Street or A Christmas Carol, but films that remind you of childhood Christmas.

For me there are three films:
One of our dinasours is missing
Flash Gordon
Escape to Victory

In reply to The New NickB:

Sound of Music. Still sing along to it all.

In reply to Ava Adore:

The only film where I root for the Nazis.

In reply to The New NickB:

Keep rooting. Eventually they'll win.

In reply to The New NickB:
Die Hard

Doesn't remind me of childhood, but I do associate it with Christmas.

In reply to The New NickB:

Home Alone
Great Escape
Zulu
Love Actually

In reply to The New NickB:

Obviously my OP should read 42nd Street, not 42th Street.

In reply to The New NickB: Wizard Of Oz...

In reply to The New NickB:

The Great Escape

Its a Wonderful Life isn't really a Christmas themed film

In reply to The New NickB: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a standard 'school Christmas holiday scheduling' favourite.

Also family films like Star Wars and Indiana Jones remind me of the chrimbo period without being festive. And a +1 for Flash Gordon!

In reply to Blue Straggler: kthanx your honour

In reply to The New NickB:


That and Das Boot for me .

And to the op :
Gremlins
Wizard of oz
Escape to victory
Wonderful life
Bad Santa

In reply to The New NickB: Von Ryans Express seemed to be on every Christmas when i was younger and it always reminds me of Christmas.

In reply to The New NickB:

Actually should read 34th Street!

In reply to The New NickB:

The Wizard of Oz. It seemed to be on every year when I was young.

In reply to The New NickB: zeitgeist: obsessive consumerism and cult religions. What a farce!

In reply to Euge:

Me too

In reply to gd303uk:

Three Christmas-themed films there! Gaah!

In reply to The Ivanator:

Your quite right, years since I have seen it.

In reply to Hat Dude:

Of course it is.

In reply to The New NickB:

You're

In reply to The New NickB:

For me it has to be Trading Places but that is sort of Christmas themed.

In reply to Wide_Mouth_Frog:

I know, I will put that down to the iPhone.

In reply to The New NickB:

Spellchecker as good as the maps?

In reply to grumpybearpantsclimbinggoat:

'Your' was spelt correctly, just wasn't the correct word.

In reply to The New NickB:

Really just one for me: Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the 1971 version)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willy_Wonka_%26_the_Chocolate_Factory

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

In reply to The New NickB: Ah! Predictive blether! Android suffers this too!

In reply to The New NickB: Kindergarden Cop

Oh for the love of............

In reply to The New NickB: Fight Club

Not a Christmas film but has the same content of violence as the Xmas day family meal.

In reply to The New NickB:

Bridget Jones's Diary

Inu reply to The New NickB:
tin of quallity street and 'santa buddies' a true puppy dog kids film (although the title is very open to misinterpretation ) and 'elf'

In reply to The New NickB: Surprised the Railway Children hasn't crept in here yet

In reply to rockchomper:

"Did you HEAR that?" Always makes me laugh.

Night at the museum is my answer to the OP
