      It's definitely not a film for kids but it was on tv all the time during the 90's so I watched it plenty of times as a kid: Bloodsport ;D, with Jean-Claude Van Damme.

      If you were in the states, I'd recommend ABC Family. 25 days of Christmas movies. My fiancee and I haven't left the couch for 7 nights :D

      National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.
      Bad Santa.
      Harold and Kumar's 3D Christmas.

      You can thank me later ;)

      I think most kid friendly ones I would suggest have been said. Elf is a big fav of mine as far as themed kids ones go. Star Wars was top of my list of others (got the blu-ray set myself and it is glorious :D )

      I don't know what stage you have your kids at with superhero films, but X-Men series is one I'd say. Can be a bit dark in moments of the series but they are fantastic. X-Men: First Class was first class as well!

      Deffo thinking about that one.


      You're the second one to mention it, is it that good? Wasn't tempted myself, maybe it's because they're blue. :roll:

      Elf looks good, and is a rare film they haven't seen.

      A fan of the cartoon, haven't seen the X-Men films at all, was afraid I'd hate it, really.

      It's a good show for a family, IMO, Ayrton.

      Lotsa laughs here and there and they are really cute hahahah.

      I'd actually recommend that Disney movies (especially those animated ones) are the most suitable.

      Movies like Megamind, Monsters vs Aliens and so on.

      Not particularly Christmas-y but Spirited Away is a pretty magical film. My kids love it... and so do I!  ;D

      I love Christmas time, especially watching all the movies I still love from being young, and even new ones, some from the top of my head are;

      - Home Alone Series
      - Over the Edge (Not christamsy but very funny animated movie)
      - The Never Ending Story
      - The Pagemaster
      - Gremlins
      - The Polar Express
      - The Grinch
      - A dog name Christmas (About a disabled lad wanting a dog, I found it really moving)
      - Elf
      - Miracle on 34th Street (Both old and newer version are great)
      - Jack Frost (One I never miss every year, the one with Michael Keaton in)
      - Disneys A Christmas Carol (The animated one with Jim Carrey)
      - Small Soldiers (A great movie for young lads)
      - The Santa Clause
      - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
      - Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (From 1964, I found a copy under a car ;D, and loved it)
      - A Charlie Brown Christmas

      And Im sure many more I cant think of right now.

      Best X-Men Films are definately X-Men origins and X-Men First Class.

      I like all them, but the two that go back and tell the story of how the X-Men were formed and how Wolverine became Wolverine are particularly good.

      Good shout on Jack Frost with Michael Keaton. Enjoyed that when I was younger. I think kids would really love it. Definitely worth a watch ayrton.

      OK, night one was a success!

      Just watched The Grinch (first time for me!), was very funny and gave us all a good laugh! :D Probably need to be a Jim Carrey fan to really appreciate it, but since I am, I loved it!

      Yeah, no kidding!

      I was gonna say Scrooged, too. I actually don't see why not for that age. Maybe a little violent, but not nearly as bad as what's common nowadays. Besides, at least it has some worth as a cautionary tale and isn't just mindless.

      Other than that, my favorite movies this time of year are A Christmas Story which will be on a continuous loop at my house (a major station airs it back-to-back the entire 24 hours) and my absolute favorite, Christmas Vacation. We quote this movie all year long.

      Quote from Me
      shi**er's full!


      Saw that in theaters as a kid and still gets time around here. Watching it as an adult I have to say it's kind of a slow moving movie. Besides that, the Skeksis scared the sh*t out of me as a kid. I still find them creepy and blame them for my (somewhat) irrational hatred of pigeons. :D

      Oh, you know what else? The Wizard of Oz. My son actually sat for a good portion of it last week.
