ToddWeston Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Let's hear them, movies or shows that your Thai family liked & of course your favourites. I've got 3 Farangs and around 11 Thais plus 4 kids for Xmas Day & on Boxing Day more kiddies - almost everyone understands and speaks English fairly well, so help me pick my movie selection while I still have time to download on ITunes. So far I've got Love Actually The Sound of Music The Muppet Christmas Carol Boxed Series of Little Britain (may have to do some serious fast forwarding ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachproperty Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 The all time best Christmas movie is "Miracle on 34th street" ...its and "oldie" (1947 with Maureen O Hara, and John Payne)....about an old man claiming to be Santa and he gets taken to Court and has to make his case he's Santa. I know at lot of you youngsters will never have heard of it...and a lot of you Europeans will never have heard of it either .....BUT its the best all time Christmas movie....if you can find it on the internet Download it.....Its a Classic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Hey Todd ... nice Christmassy Subject ... Good luck with the extended family over the festive season. "Bad Santa" is the best Christmas film of all time. I have to say, that's one of the few movies I genuinely wished to walk out of. When the scene calls for Santa to relieve himself and pisses on the Santa Seat and they then focus on that dripping down through the webbing ... I paid my heard earned coin to watch that rubbish ... Am I the only one who has seen Tranny Claus? I thought you were taking the piss, so I googled, and found it ... though the DVD cover I can't reproduce here ... Some reckon Bruce Willis Die Hard is a Christmas Movie ... Christmas Day ... no set movie Boxing Day ... MCG Cricket Match, interrupted by the start of the Sydney to Hobart start till the maxis disappears out of the Sydney Heads ... hopefully under full Spinnaker. Mind you, next Christmas when MissFarmGirl has her 1st Christmas in Australia ... she might have something to say about that ... Stand up, Stand up ... Stand up if you're 3 - nil up .

ToddWeston Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Some great suggestions guys - Thank you very very much.

johnnynmonic Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 It's A Wonderful Life. Great film. There's Thai subs available for that one too; nice for those who have trouble following fast English dialogue. Sent from my phone using Tapatalk.

There was a good remake of this in 1994, with Richard Attenborough in the lead role, well, I enjoyed it anyway, lovely film.

Sent from my GT-I8160 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app I agree, It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart wins hands down, one of the all time greats. Of all the Christmas Carol movies, I never tire of the wonderful Alistair Sim version 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachproperty Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Its a wonderful life is a "Great" Classic Christmas story....BUT for me... too much "drama"....can be intense at times (a little black for me)....whereas "Miracle on 34th street" is light, fun, with some drama and I find it more uplifting which is what I like at Christmas.... Oh well.....each to their own Merry Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
