Written by Robbie Shirley | Dec 21, 2023 10:24:52 AM

If you've already run your Christmas film list dry, fear not, for the great Team Gate have shared what their favourites are and why to keep you going all the way till New Years...

 

NATIVITY (2009)

Hannah - Content Developer: "Nativity is essential viewing for me every Christmas."

 

HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS (2000)

Meg - Junior Editor: "I love Jim Carrey, and some of those scenes are very quotable! The costume is great too!" 

 

THE HOLIDAY (2006)

Charlie - Head of Commercial & Marketing: "3 reasons...

 
1. Can't beat a good romcom at Christmas that gives all the feels
2. It got me interested in the Advertising / Film industry as the first time I watched it I wanted to do Cameron Diaz's job - I've come close ha
3. Jude Law in his prime!"
 
 
SANTA CLAUS (1985)
 
Lauren - Finance Manager: "Takes me back to my childhood, watching it with my parents and being so enchanted with the magic of Christmas. My son loves it too."
 
 
BAD SANTA (2003)
 
James - Executive Producer: "It’s raw, it’s real and as close to the real Santa that you’re going to get."

 

IRON MAN 3 (2013)

Josh - Senior Producer: "Love a Marvel film, see a lot of myself in Iron Man."

 

HOME ALONE (1990)

Michael - Head of Post Production: "It’s a film that no matter when it’s on (which is a lot in my house) I’ll watch it. Also what a score by the master John Williams! 

Arguably HA 2 has better stunts from Harry and Marv and makes me laugh more but I think the original just takes it for me."

 

TWIN PEAKS: 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS (1990)

Simon - CEO/ Head Of Film: "It’s not a movie, but it is my favourite show stars singing a Christmas song. The Twin Peaks cast sing the 12 days of Christmas..."

 

HOME ALONE: LOST IN NEW YORK (1992)

Robbie - Team PA/ Content Creator: "It takes everything great about the first one, makes it bigger and better and takes it to the most Christmassy setting for a film, besides the North Pole of course!"

 

JINGLE ALL THE WAY (1996)

Nathan - Production Manager: "PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN, NOW!"
