Non-Christmas themed films that make you feel festive

For me, it’s got to be ‘One of our dinosaurs is missing’. No idea why.

Obviously there are ‘issues’ with at least one portrayal of a POC in yellow face but it was a different world back then.

One Of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing is one of those films they put on in school in class as filler/treat to keep the class quiet for an hour or so, so the teachers could have a nice long break. Well, they did so in Devon in the 80s - but the skeleton head bopping up and down in the smoggy London is a highlight.

I’ve never seen this and I have no desire to. Shall I hand my gay card in now?

Fraulein, were you this much trouble at the Abbey?

Same here I do love Mary Poppins though, maybe I feel like that's filled my Julie Andrews quota for one lifetime.

Mary Poppins is an Easter movie or a New Years movie.

You’re missing out on a cinematic mega bitch, the evil Baroness von Schraeder.

More like your childhood card.

Despite my love of (and advanced years), I never have either - or at least in one sitting. There must be a reasonable chance I've watched all the various parts over the years. And I very definitely know all the songs.

I know I prefer this version of it, anyway.

Also, not a film but I love playing Mortal Kombat at this time of year. I always used to get the games for Christmas so it gets me right in the mood.

Oh moopy, you've no idea the trouble I had back in the day convincing the Katie's Bar bouncers that these 2 were actually gay, I thought we'd never get in were it not for that dildo, vodka miniatures and Gina G cassette falling out Kala's pockets when he started violently dancing when someone sang a few bars of Mary Kiani's When I Call Your Name.
