Christmas is nearly upon us so we at The Gate thought it was about time we shared some of our favourite festive movies… Best enjoyed with a mug of mulled wine and a warm mince pie! Any more you would add to our list?
1. It’s A Wonderful Life… see this at a cinema if you can!
2. Muppet’s Christmas Carol… Michael Caine’s best role in our opinion!
3. Nightmare Before Xmas… it always makes us laugh that Jack Skeleton doesn’t know what snow is but he does know what a snowball is… still absolutely brilliant though!
4. You’ve got to love Elf… especially this scene!
5. Our Jill’s favourite movie ever… whether it’s Christmas or not!
6. Not for kids this one…
7. Bernard and the Genie… if you ever come across this film, buy it on the spot!
