I do like a Christmas film. Give me a snowy scene, Christmas tunes and oodles of good cheer and I’m all over it. I have lots of personal favourites but at Christmas I can suspend more disbelief, ignore the plot crowbars and do more rooting for the underdog.
Now Netflix and Amazon are great resources for wallowing in the Christmas film vibes but there is only one Sky Christmas Movie channel. If you are not a customer you can get it through Now TV. There are some great films this year (Trading Places and Batman Returns being my pick) but there is some quality Christmas twaddle too. Yes! I for one do not want to miss The Three Dogateers. Or Ray Liotta as a serial killer on a plane at Christmas in Turbulence. Pass the sherry and mince pies.
We have all year to enjoy the delights of great cinema and if that is your relaxing bag fill your boots. If you’d rather disengage your brain Christmas is a great time to put your feet up, scoff sweets and unwind in front of a cinematic panto. Just don’t put your sweet wrappers back in the box, ya filthy animal.
