Stick this one in your DVD machine straight after youve had your turkey that way if you doze off you wont have missed out on anything.
Comedy
The Nightmare Before Christmas
If theres a more wickedly funny, inventive and totally engrossing festive flick than this, Ive yet to see it. Tremendous.
How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Has the look, though not the heart, of Dr Seuss tale but its worth a look.
Elf
Fun-filled, cleverly written and toasty warm with a gooey syrup centre, theres just no way around it I loved this film.
An Amazing Couple
If you can see only one of the films in 'La Trilogie', then 'An Amazing Couple' is probably not the pick of the bunch – but the lightness of its comedy turns out to have a deliciously dark edge, and the bite behind its absurdity becomes all the sharper when seen in the light of its two more serious sibling films.
Love Actually
Plenty of people will love this film (you know who you are), but personally I couldnt wait to escape the theatre by the time the full 135 minutes had been wrung dry.
