Film Club: December Nominations

This month's theme is brilliantly two sided. Christmas and Anti-Christmas films, a great deal of scope to work with here, so have fun everybody.
It'll be the same as last month. There will be two winners (only one can be Certificate 18 to cater for the age demographic of TheSite. if two 18's are chosen by the poll then the film the runner up that isn't an 18 will be chosen/ picked at random)
When you post your nomination please include the video trailer as well as the reason for your nomination, it would be really handy if you could include what age certificate the film is as well.
And as always the following disclaimer applies: We realise that TheSite.org is aimed at 16-25 year olds but we're aware some members of the community are under 16. Some of the films suggested in film club will be 15 certificate and above so if you're under 15 then you watch these films at your own risk.
go, go, go!

Reason for nominating: I love the discworld, and never got around to watching this, I'm always suspicious of films made from my favourite books, so would like to see if it's as good as it should be. (Christmas connection: Hogswatch is the discworld alternative)
Synopsis: When Jack Skellington tires of Hallowe'en Town, he sets out to learn more about Christmas.
Reason for nominating: One of the greatest soundtracks of all time, fantastic animation, and the ability to appeal to both Christmas lovers and Christmas haters.
Can't get the sodding thing to embed, tho
Synopsis:Ebeneezer Scrooge is a mean old man. Until one Christmas Eve, after the death of his business acquaintances, Marley and Marley.
Reason for nominating: I watch this every Christmas. Except the soppy song in the middle. Plus, Michael Caine in the same film as Fozzie Bear.
Nomination: It's a Wonderful Life (U)
Synoposis (from IMDB): An angel helps a compassionate but despairingly frustrated businessman by showing what life would have been like if he never existed.
Reason for Nomination: I still haven't seen it!! And I hear it's a classic.
Also just to add to Fiend's orig post. I was thinking discussion could take place week begining 10 December and chat can happen on Wednesday 19th December? Otherwise chat would fall on Boxing Day and that would just be MADNESS :shocking:
I worked that out all by myself.
Is it ever. Totally awesome.
But I picked Home Alone, classic slap stick moments.
Home Alone

Amazing film. Every one needs this in their Christmas timetable.
Annnnd....
Nativity

Another really funny film, about a state school trying to outdo a private school with their nativity.
Both films are U or PG certificates I think, suitable for everyoneeee :yippe:
The Holiday (12)
Any more nominations, get them in now!
from IMDB: In the year before the 1904 St Louis World's Fair, the four Smith daughters learn lessons of life and love, even as they prepare for a reluctant move to New York.
Reason: One of my favourite musicals ever. It follows the Smith family throughout the year and culminates in Christmas time and Judy Garland singing 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas'. Guarenteed to make you bawl your eyes out.
aaaand... on a completely different spectrum
Die Hard!! (18)
from IMDB: John McClane, officer of the NYPD, tries to save wife Holly Gennaro and several others, taken hostage by German terrorist Hans Gruber during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles.
Reason: Again one of my favourite Christmas films as well as action films.. It's amazing. Alan Rickman. Yippy ki yay motherfuckerrr
Most funny, underrated, under watched, christmas movie. :razz:
