1.The Nightmare before Christmas (Rated PG)
I know it's only the 1st of December so we'll start off with a half Halloween, half Christmas film to ease you into it. Jack Skellington Stumbles on Christmastown and plans to gain control of Christmas by kidnapping Santa and taking his role. Includes some scarier scenes which young children may not want to watch.
2.Love Actually (Rated 15 or R)
Nine Christmas love stories in one! What's not to love (actually)? :) People of all ages and occupations cross paths in this great movie, showing that love can be unexpected, strange, good and bad, all at the same time. Includes sex, nudity, light swearing and intense emotional scenes.
3.Nativity! (Rated U or G)
Also Nativity 2 Danger in the Manger and Nativity 3 Dude! Where's my Donkey?All 3 are great movies to watch with your whole family. They really remind you that Christmas is great but it doesn't always go perfectly. A school teacher is faced with directing a children's nativity play and they are in a competition against a posh local school. Each movie gets slightly funnier as you watch them.
4.How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Rated PG)
An adaptation of the Dr Seuss book. The Grinch hates Christmas and plans to steal it from those who live in Whoville. This all changes when he meets Cindy Lou Who, who sets her heart on befriending him and showing him the joys of Christmas.5.Home Alone (Rated PG)
I've only ever seen the first 2 but I'll definitely be checking out the other ones this year. Some scenes may be inappropriate for young children. |

6.Arthur Christmas (Rated U or G)
Definately one you can watch with the whole family! Arthur Christmas is the second son of Santa and believes that every child counts and should be able to experience waking up in the morning to find presents. Steve is his older brother and runs the North Pole and hopes to take over from Santa soon. However he believes that Christmas is a mission and tries to make it a military operation to make sure that every child gets a present and the night is a success. Steve's planning isn't as perfect as he would like and he misses a child! Arthur Christmas then sets out with GrandSanta on a crazy mission to makes a little girl's Christmas wish come true.7.Miracle on 34th street (Rating U or G)
An old classic which tells the story of an old man going around surprising customers and employees of a chain's main store in midtown Manhattan by claiming that he is the real Santa. This leads to a court case to test his mental stability and if he really is Santa.8.The Santa Clause (Rating U or G)
Also The Santa Clause 2 and The Santa Clause.After a divorced dad accidentally knocks Santa off the roof and he disappears, he tries on the suit.

9.The Holiday (Rating 12 of PG-13)
A great Christmas romantic comedy. Two women decide to swap homes for Christmas after bad breakups with their boyfriends. Each woman finds new romance with a local man but they then realise that the journey back home (England or America) could break up their new relationships. Contains sex, mild swearing and violence.10.Elf (Rating PG)
Lovely family film which can be enjoyed at all ages. After wreaking havoc in the elf community due to his ungainly size, a man raised as an elf at the North Pole is sent to the U.S. in search of his true identity and his father. |

All of these fils are great (even though some aren't exactly modern) but my favourites are definately Arthur Christmas and Elf- everyone can watch them and they certainly get you in the mood for Christmas. Which is your favourite?
