Movies You Watch Every Festive Season?

Maybe I'm odd (okay, quiet you in the back! <g>) but Christmas and New Year just aren't the same for me if I don't watch certain of my favourite films then. They've all got some tie-in with the festive season, so there is method to my madness. Honestly!

Are there any movies that are a must-see in your household at this time? Scroll down and share them with us by posting to our movie forum messageboard.

Cat's Must Watch Movies List:

Meet Me in St. Louis

It's become tradition that I wrap the family presents on Christmas Eve while watching this movie. Judy Garland's song Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas has a special place in my heart. Poignant memories of 'Happy golden days of yore'.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

A must at Halloween as well, who could resist this delightfully dark animation? Certainly not me! Great music, looks and characters. Doesn't matter how many times I watch it I always spot some new detail. Has Tim Burton stamped all over it.

Young at Heart

Yes, another musical! I'm not really a Frank Sinatra fan, but if there's one movie I swoon over him in it's this. Though why, I'm never sure. Maybe Doris Day brought out the best in him! On the list for the pivotal Christmas time scene.

The Wizard of Oz

Yes, I'm a big kid at heart and this classic family musical was frequently shown on TV at Christmas when I was a child. A true classic that I'm looking forward to watching on DVD in future after totally wearing out my VHS copy.

Moonstruck

A real feel good film. A wonderful romance sprinkled with some festive magic. An Oscar® performance from Cher, and okay, while Nic Cage was a bit hammy this is ham you can't help loving! The poster art scene alone has to be one of the most memorable movie images ever, in my opinion.

While You Were Sleeping

An all time favourite. Romantic comedy with a Christmas setting and a lead in Sandra Bullock that we females can relate to. Plus it's the film that made me look at Bill Pullman in a whole new light! ;-)

When Harry Met Sally

My New Year "must see" (yep, if New Year is a key time in a movie I like I'm gonna watch it then. Predictable, that's me!) Comedy, romance and yes - that scene. I must admit that I've rather gone off Meg Ryan in recent years but still love this film.
