8 is good. Bit like Flight of the Phoenix it seems to me - the original Elleston Trevor one, not the remake.

7 is good hokum, recent remake worth a peer.

6 is better than you think the first time around. The book is very attractive too, and looks like a storyboard for the film.

1 is good fun, although I'm always reminded of the Simpsons pastiche in the bank scene.

The others don't do it for me particularly but no doubt do for some.

I'd add A Christmas Story, the Raymond Briggs Father Christmas and pretty much any version of A Christmas Carol other than the Simm one.

My favourite is 9. Billy Bob Thornton was made for that role. and on again in a few minutes.

Best Christmas Film = The Muppet Christmas Carol.
Best version ever. A cast entirely consisting of Muppets.

Nah! Seriously, the best one is "It's a Wonderful Life"

Lúcia Moniz - and yes, very hot.

I love the film, I always watch it at Christmas. The one bit that annoys me is at the end when Jamie is speaking Portuguese to Aurelia and his grammar is quite reasonable - but the sub titles show it as awful for the laugh. Why didn't they make his spoken Portuguese awful too?
