    There'll always be an argument as to whether it's a christmas film or a film just set at Christmas.

    I can see that argument for the 2nd one.

    But for me the first is definitely a Christmas film. It's set at Christmas, has Christmas music throughout, and is the result of a pretty eventful Christmas party.

    Another vote for Trading Places.

    I know it's a Thanksgiving film but as I first saw it at Christmas, I'm going to cheat and also say Planes, trains & Automobiles.

    It's a Wondergul Life, Bad Santa and that's about it unless the Nightmare Before Christmas counts as a Christmas film

    Always like

    Scrooge, but Muppets Christmas Carol and Scrooged are good in the same theme. Loved Die Hard but that's not what would be classed as a traditional theme.
    In recent years I though Arthur Christmas was excellent
