CHRISTMAS WITH A DIFFERENCE

There's a definite chill in the air at FILMCLUB - so unless someone's left the back door open again, we're thinking Christmas must be coming. And there are, of course, plenty of famous and timelessly heart-warming Christmas films out there. What would the festive season for a film lover be without It's A Wonderful Life, or Miracle on 34th Street, The Nightmare Before Christmas or Scrooge? But as film lovers ourselves, we also want to share with our members some of the lesser known Yuletide movies that are every bit as fantastic as their more celebrated peers - and to recommend some more of our favourites that might not strictly be about Christmas, but which we think in some way sum up what's great about the idea of coming together in mid-winter and huddling around... well, in our case it's huddling around a movie. So if you want to join us here with our season of Christmas movies with a difference, then just grab a mince pie and a seat and make yourself at home.
