Film for Christmas Day

Along_the_Wire

I was gonna watch Tenet on Christmas Day with the family, but I’m almost guaranteed to get mithered by the missus as she’ll get confused and hate it. No doubt one of the kids too.

Any suggestions? Looking for some inspiration. Don’t have to be Christmassy, but need to appeal to 26 and 24 year old. No sex scenes - horrendous that. Probably prefer a comedy, but again, no essential.

Parasite is easily the best film I have watched this year. Luckily I managed to catch it at the cinema.

alistair A subtitled depiction of a Korean class war subjugated by marriage. Perfect. My 80 year old mother will love that

Seven.

Kumquat

Gotta be Die Hard hasn’t it?

Hursty

Just make sure the vino is flowing and all will be good.

If you’re going for a Christmas movie, The Grinch (Jim Carrey) is underrated in my opinion and I’m surprised that not everyone I speak to has seen it (when the ‘best Christmas movie’ discussions come up).

bosstrabs All about The Grinch man!

It took until Die Hard 2 this year to get me in the spirit as it’s 20 degrees outside.

seanc80 I’d rather nail my balls to a moving train than be forced to watch “a Christmas movie”. Elf, the Grinch, It’s a wonderful life et al can fuck right off. I wouldn’t bother with Tenet. It’s disappointing.

A Marvel Marathon. Just don’t get your timeliness in a twist. Nightmare.

Millsy I might do a Marvel marathon. If I were a complete gimp who had been bullied since junior school and retreats into a hideous comic book world at every opportunity to forget everything.

No talking allowed whatsoever during dinner. Just lots & lots of thinking about films centred around hate-crimes.

Lol.

Straight into Old Boy at 3pm when god fearing Aunt Phyllis arrives for dinner…

bosstrabs

seanc80 Five minutes into dinner the missus is wearing the imperfectly roasted potatoes on her face, a lumpy gravy the glue that holds them there

-si- haha, the worst thing about the whole affair is the TV is on mute and a 5 and half hour Hernan set is only 20 minutes in, everyone staring out the window at the rain.

“Stick with it auntie Phyllis, he really goes up a gear or two in the fourth hour of the set! Do you want a wee line after your trifle?”

Millsy

bosstrabs I hope you enjoy it mate

alistair

Some good bantz there guys. I am laughing inside!
Dead Man Shoes. What a film that is! Maybe follow it with American History X

Thanks for some of the suggestions lads. Less worried about highbrow films.

Something old would be my call, a Hitchcock movie or something similar. Nothing better than sitting with a full belly, half asleep, watching a black & white.
