Blogmas Day 18: My 5 Favourite Christmas Films!

3 Comments

Is there anything better than curling up when it’s cold outside with a blanket, hot chocolate and a good old Christmas film on. Now, I am in no way a movie buff, in fact, I’m regularly teased by friends and family because I haven’t seen some of the biggest films ever to be made. That said, growing up I liked nothing more than to put on a Christmas film and watch it again and again and again. So, this lists is a big mix of my favourite films to pop on. Note, these are mainly for children. Sorry, not sorry.

Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas 

Now, I know there is another before this and I’m pretty sure I loved that too but this is what I remember having on all the time. We got it when my sister was tiny and I just remember it being on and it’s just nice and chilled as well as being fun.

Miracle on 34th Street 

This came out when I was 2 and it’s just a go-to classic with an adorable Mara Wilson. I think this one is just because it’s always been on and around while I was growing up, it has a little girl (who in my mind was always Matilda, sorry!) and Santa. I was in, totally in.

The Grinch 

Fun fact, I was slightly scared of the Grinch but couldn’t stop watching it. I wasn’t interested in Cindy-Lou I was fully invested in the Grinch himself and felt so bad for him and also loved him. Shout out to Primark getting on the Grinch train

Elf 

SANTA OH MY GOD I KNOW HIM.

I don’t understand people who don’t like Elf, genuinely don’t understand them. This is hilarious but also can make me cry and it’s just silly. I just love it so much, the music is also adorable.

Love Actually 

This is my favourite film. I don’t think it’s ever failed to cheer me up and I love every single actor in it and it’s just so good. Love Actually gets a lot of stick but I don’t think it’s deserved. All of the stories link and there’s just a warm feeling to it. If not just watch it for Hugh Grants dancing, worth watching just for that.

My Top 10 Films to watch at Christmas

1 Comment

I thought I would treat you all to another top 10 seeing as my life currently consists of my temp job, sleeping and trying to fit everything around it. Here are some of my top films to watch at Christmas even though some of them arn’t that traditional.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. Any Harry Potter film…

To say that I’m obsessed with Harry Potter is an understatement. There are two times that all of the films should be on the TV, once in the Summer and then again at Christmas, or you know any time of year at all really…

 

9.Miracle on 34th Street (1994) 

Matilda and Santa teamed up and it got adorable. Ok so this film came out when I was a few months old I don’t have to watch it at Christmas but it’s always nice to have on the TV.

 

8.The Grinch that stole Christmas 

One thing you need to know is that I am the girlfriend to another Grinch. I loved this film growing up, I don’t have any real reason why but it just is a great Christmas film.

 

7.Tangled 

A lot of people won’t understand this choice because I’m 19 and it’s so new for a Disney film. For some reason this is on every Christmas now and I absolutely love it! C’mon she hit’s him around the head with a frying pan, sorry spoiler alert.

6.Shrek 

Another film that just seems to be on around Christmas and one that makes me laugh all the time. It doesn’t matter if it’s 1,2 or 3, not 4 I haven’t seen 4. You can just sit down and watch Shrek no matter what age you are. 

5. Bridget Jones’ Diary 

It is not Chistmas or even December until I have watched Bridget Jones. It starts and ends at Christmas and we can’t forget the lovely jumpers or the Turkey Curry Buffet! 

4.Toy Story 2 

I was only 4 when this came out in 1999 and I was obsessed with it, I even had the Jessie the cowgirl outfit. It’s another family film with a happy ending. 

3.Toy Story 

…Of course you can’t just watch Toy Story 2 and this is the film that is mainly on the TV at this time of year. Who doesn’t love a bit of Woody, Buzz and the rest of the gang!

2. Elf 

‘IT’S SANTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA’ 

There is a reason this is in at number 2. The writers of Elf are incredible I worship them. As for Will Farrell? Oh my lord that man is funny. It makes kids laugh, it makes adults laugh and it has brilliantly inappropriate burping.

1. Love Actually 

This is where I am allowed to be a girl. This is my all time favourite Christmas film even if my boyfriend is mean and wont watch it with me (he say’s it is too girly). It’s so well written and there are so many great actors in it. I also get some eye candy between Hugh and Colin.
