X-13 Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 What? It's got Christmas in the title, it's a Christmas film. Deal with it.[/8BitGlasses] 1
VeryPC Posted December 10, 2014 Author Posted December 10, 2014 My favourite has already been mentioned in this thread: Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade. http://youtu.be/0A8KT365wlA?t=3m3s Love a bit of Don't Let The Bells End. What? It's got Christmas in the title, it's a Christmas film. Deal with it.[/8BitGlasses] I'm dealing - that's a great film and song. I like the Oogie-boogie man song too. All great songs! Thanks folks. Al
StevieM Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) My favourite Christmas song has to be That Was The Worst Christmas Ever! from the Songs for Christmas Box Set by the genius that is Sufjan Stevens. Granted it's not one you'd want to play at the office party, (unless you wanted to send everyone home feeling miserable) but I get the shivers every time I listen to it. Just beautiful. EDIT: Just found this video that someone made for it. Edited December 10, 2014 by StevieM 2
sonofsanta Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Ooh, tough choice - it could be John Lennon's Happy Christmas (War Is Over), it could be Jona Lewie's Stop the Cavalry for its dubbadubbadumdums... but I think for sheer sing-a-long-ability, I'm going to have to go with Wham's Last Christmas. Last Madvent, I won a great prize, But the very next day I gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'm keeping it all for myself (myself) 2
hallb15 Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Mad World (The Gary Jules version) was Christmas #1 in 2003. Not very christmassey and doesn't regularly appear on Now that's what I call Christmas compilations, but a good song nonetheless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3N1MlvVc4 REM had a good stab at it too, but please, please, please don't try the Susan Boyle version... 1

sonofsanta Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Das video ist private! Nicht so private jetzt. Do you have to be careful not to feed Will after midnight? Edited December 11, 2014 by sonofsanta
StevieM Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Ooooh! 'This video is private'. I wonder what Al and/or Will get up to in this episode...
hallb15 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I love the gremlins theme tune! Gremlins Theme Song
LeightonJames Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 No need to watch the video today the prize winner is revealed on the preview The only thing you can't see is the image behind the "door"
hallb15 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 No need to watch the video today the prize winner is revealed on the preview The only thing you can't see is the image behind the "door" On mine the preview is a close up of a box of candy canes...
StevieM Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) The only thing you can't see is the image behind the "door" And the incredible (quite literally!) Christmas fact. Edit: Just sent an email to @VeryPC_Ross about our Smart Sync licences. I can't help it, but every time I read the name Ross Robinson I want to say it in a Scooby-Doo voice.

sonofsanta Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Good to see you acknowledge what is surely the greatest Christmas film of them all. As I saw posted somewhere recently, there are two kinds of people: those who recognise Die Hard as a Christmas film, and those who are wrong. Definitely going with Mini-Madvent Mega Monday Multi-Draw instead of Triple Draw Fridays then? 1

And yeah, m-MMMM-D again. Al 1
StevieM Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 As I saw posted somewhere recently, there are two kinds of people: those who recognise Die Hard as a Christmas film, and those who are wrong. And those of us who have never seen Die Hard (or even have any idea of what it's about!) I know. Shocker, eh! 2
sonofsanta Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Please can someone pass the message on to @StevieM that I'm not talking to him again until he has at least Die Hard 1 & 2 watched, as the most exquisite and refined examples of the action movie genre. Some people. 2
VeryPC_Colin_M Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 He he! Come on @StevieM you must watch all of the Die Hards over Christmas. You'll love 4.0. Say that as fast as you can. 1
StevieM Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) You see, it's those two words right there that are the stumbling block for me - 'action movie'. Big explosions and all guns a-blazing gratify me not. But never let it be said that StevieM has a closed mind and isn't open to new experiences. I shall seek out and watch the first two movies as requested and see what I can glean from them. If I find any value contained therein, I will watch the rest. I'm eligible for a 30-day trial of Amazon *spit* Instant Video so I'll sign up for that over the hols. Edited December 12, 2014 by StevieM
VeryPC_Colin_M Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Good lad! I expect much yippeekaayaaying come Monday.
sparkeh Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Good lad! I expect much yippeekaayaaying come Monday. And you have to start calling everyone a 'Melon Farmer' as well 1
StevieM Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 And you have to start calling everyone a 'Melon Farmer' as well And will I have to start calling Melon Farmers' dogs 'Melon Collies'? 1
