Christmas movies
Ok, I’ll admit my guilty secret - I sometimes watch episodes of Real Housewives!
In my defence, it is mindless TV that distracts me from whatever emotions I’m trying to deal with!
This post is about festive watching though.
Some of my favourite Christmas (and Christmas-ish) films are:
Elf (2003)
Daddy’s Home 2 (2017)
The Holiday (2006)
Love Actually (2003)
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989)
Die Hard (1988) - OK, I’ve been told a hundred times that this is not a Christmas film but come on, it’s set at Christmas!
The Polar Express (2004)
Home Alone (1990)
And so many others!
These are my non-festive movie picks:
Barbie (2023) I saw this at the cinema when it came out. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I loved it. Ryan Gosling as Ken really made me laugh. A great soundtrack too.
The Fall Guy (2024) Another Ryan Gosling film that’s hilarious.
Daddy’s Home (2015) I must’ve seen this film a thousand times but I never get bored with it. It’s so funny. Daddy’s Home 2 (2017) is on my festive film list.
The Heat (2013)
Spy (2015)
Charlie’s Angels (2019) This film didn’t get very good reviews but it’s one of my favourites because it makes me feel empowered!
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) This is another film that I wasn’t sure I’d like but I loved it! It’s really funny and also has one of my favourite soundtracks!
Clueless (1995) for some 90s nostalgia.
