What about Christmas movies to go with the best Christmas tunes that Gideon has done on the show?
Any age of film just must give that 'Christmas feel.'
Or maybe anti Christmas movies? That made you hate Christmas even more that you thought could be possible.
Cheers now

Sorry I haven't replied earlier bit I wanted to give it proper consideration.
Christmas films are a tough one aren't they ?
Love Actually - bit of a guilty pleasure but there's enough different things going on to keep it interesting, and I'd like Alan Rickman's colleague in the red dress for Christmas please.
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Alone - pile of absolute nonsense, do those film makers think we're idiots ?
Best Christmas film:
The first Die Hard.
In the 'good' category I'd mention the following:
*Bad Santa
*the original 70's slasher move Black Christmas
*It's a Wonderful Life (has to be watched in one go on telly around Xmas)
*the 1951 Scrooge with Alistair Sim
*Scrooged
*The Apartment (takes place around Xmas - the Jack Lemmon film rather than L'Appartment)
*Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (fantastic unsung post-modern movie set around Xmas)
*While You Were Sleeping (set around the Xmas holidays and quite demented in parts, e.g. stalking, a one-testicled man, jokes about cheating on vegetables etc)
*Trading Places (set around Xmas)
& best of all:
*Silent Night, Deadly Night (where Santa gets to be in a slasher movie)
There are lots of the worst:
*Santa Claus the Movie
*Jingle All the Way
*Love Actually (love Bonnie Greer's brief review on Newsnight: "Love Actually? C**p actually...")
...
but focus on the classics above I say!!
I watched Bad Santa once on a plane and almost sustained several injuries from trying not to laugh too hard and bemuse my fellow passengers.
Worst Christmas movie of all time is possibly the Thomas Kinkade biopic The Christmas Cottage (I only watched it because of an un-natural love of the festive season, and Jared Padalecki) . Truly horrifying.
Best has to be Scrooged. No question.
