has nobody mentioned WALLACE AND GROMIT yet??

Since you mention it ...

"Trouble at' Mill" / "A Matter of Loaf and Death" is the new BBC Christmas short from Nick Park and Aardman.

Wallace and his dog, Gromit, open a new bakery business and get tied up with a murder mystery. But, when Wallace falls in love, Gromit is left to solve the case.


Top Bun.

I can't remember any Christmas films from my childhood.   :'( 

I didn't watch television but did go to Saturday Morning pictures.  I can remember a little polar bear being born and we were shown his picture and then all sang a song spelling out his name which I believe was "Brunus"?

My parents used to hire films to show at parties - Disney cartoons, Charlie Chaplin and Hopalong Cassidy, of course.  The projector kept breaking down, but it was fun.

When I was a child, there were no telvisions, and as for talkies, they came later.

We didn't get a TV until I was 5 and then it was black and white until the late 70's but then NZ only got colour in time for the 1974 Commonwealth games held in Christcurch.

But the only reason my parents changed to colour was because the B&W finally died. Only on channel where we lived.

I guess The Great Escape is my Christmas film...from childhood.   I can quote it from start to finish.

Love The Grinch now.  ;D
