Rappy Veteran Posted November 21, 2012 Veteran Share Posted November 21, 2012 A new survey has found that Home Alone is the nation's favourite Christmas film.Video-on-demand service blinkbox's survey of 2,000 adults revealed that Christmas is the time we watch the most television, with the average adult spending five and a half hours a day in front of the TV over the festive period. The poll also asked participants about their viewing habits over the Yuletide period, and discovered that 78% of people like to watch the same movie every Christmas. Home Alone emerged as the favourite movie for families to watch over Christmas, winning 28% of the total vote. Close behind was the classic Raymond Briggs animation The Snowman, with 27% of the vote. Rounding out the top five were Miracle on 34th Street (26%), Elf (20%), and Love Actually (18%). Star Keira Knightley recently revealed her delight at the romcom becoming an established holiday classic. The findings also revealed that the majority of British adults (53%) admit they have seen some movies and TV shows so many times that they can recite the actors' lines verbatim. Additionally, it was discovered that nearly half of us (49%) will watch 25 hours of repeats over a 10-day period. Home Alone came second to The Muppet Christmas Carol in Digital Spy's run-down of readers' top Christmas films last year.

Lingwo Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 While i do like Home Alone and Home Alone 2. It isn't the greatest. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, for me. Every year i moan it is on but i still watch it and laugh. Another film i watch also is Batteries Not Included. That is usually on around christmas time too. djdanster and Glassed Silver 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asrokhel Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Seriously? I thought they'd pick something like Scrooge (1951), which is one of the best, if not the best adaptations of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cacoe Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I forgot to say... But I still like getting presents. I think we should change it's name to Consumermas. And everyone knows the best Christmas movie is The Muppet Christmas Carol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallithrax Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I forgot to say... But I still like getting presents. I think we should change it's name to Consumermas. And everyone knows the best Christmas movie is The Muppet Christmas Carol. Along with "A Muppet Christmas: Letters to Santa" & "It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" & " A Muppet Family Christmas" Not forgetting Bad Santa, Fred Claus & Scrooged.

+virtorio MVC Posted November 21, 2012 MVC Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'd go with Christmas Vacation, Scrooged, Lethal Weapon (which is a Christmas movie as far as I'm concerned) and Bad Santa over Home Alone. But I still like Home Alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growled Member Posted November 22, 2012 Member Share Posted November 22, 2012 Home Alone is alright but it's not my favorite. My fav is Jim Carrey's The Grinch. That is a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
