Love the list but could add :
The Santa Clause (1, 2 & 3)
Christmas with the Kranks
Miracle on 34th Street
The Polar Express
Holiday Inn
White Christmas -
There is nothing like Charles Dicken’s “A Christmas Carol”
To begin:
“Marley was dead to begin with.”
Only Charles Dickens can write like that. -
I know it’s a little different than your usual Christmas fare, but I love The Silent Partner (1978) with Elliot Gould and and Christopher Plummer. It’s a good old-fashioned thriller that’s set around Christmas time.
-
I will have to take a look at this one Brian!
– Erin

Oh yes – The Polar Express AND Holiday Inn AND White Christmas. The last one, even after so many years of viewing it, still sings. Add, even though it isn’t a Christmas movie, Mama Mia. I will always love that one!
-
We all have must-watch movies that aren’t ‘technically’ Christmas films Daphne!

Also:
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation -
Deskset is my wife’s go to Christmas movie and I can’t resist it either with Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn.
-
@Fiona, agree with your adds as they are part of our family tradition.
@John, I’ll take a look at Desk Set as we love the oldies.
We recently watch Almost Christmas. Wasn’t what we thought it be, but was well worth watching.

Scrooged – with Bill Murry
-
The Christmas Chronicles (released last year) with Kurt Russell, is simply brilliant.
-
I still need to check this one out. Added to my list!

Fetch Mighty- note NO Ctick (ACMA) shown on box.
Watched 1 movie only then checked BBC,CNN off & on etc & in 2 days used 25Gb data. Couldn’t watch Free To Air FTA unless connected to internet. Each time you click any program it’ll buffer up to 100-500Mb data (they don’t tell you that) so after checking all available channels on Fetch …bugga 25Gb gone. Then it locked up. SBS on Demand needs a lot of searching programs + lots GB gone 🙁 IT’S A LEMON 🙁-
Hi Brian,
Thanks for your comments! We’d like to take a look at this for you, as we certainly don’t think that Fetch is a lemon. If you’re able to, would you please make direct contact with us via our Social Media e-mail address: iiOnline@iinet.net.au with your details and mentioning your post here? We can then use this to locate your account so we can take a further look into this one for you.
