It’s the end of the year and what better way to spend the holiday season than to watch the best Christmas all-time favourite International movie Christmas Classics
Take your pick from popular international Christmas-special titles, including Marc Blucas starrer ‘Operation Christmas List’, Julia Roberts starrer ‘Notting Hill’, along with other Christmas favourites such as ‘The Polar Express’, Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’, ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’, to name a few.
Operation Christmas List
12-year-old Barney has got a plan to beat the Christmas rush and buy the entire stock of the most sought after gift, Crabby Mousie doll! But, after Barney and his friends sneak into the mall afterhours, things don't go exactly as planned when a gang of thieves show up with a similar idea.
All I Want for Christmas is You
Based on her iconic Christmas song, this all-new movie features Mariah Carey's music and narration in a loving story about little Mariah's Christmas wish for a puppy.
The Polar Express
A doubting young boy takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Pop-singer Chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore turn a songwriter's life upside-down.
New Year’s Eve
Set in New York on New Year's Eve, this romantic comedy celebrates love, hope, forgiveness, second chances and fresh starts, in the intertwining stories of couples and singles, told amidst the pulse and promise of the most dazzling night of the year. The stellar ensemble cast will ring in the New Year with this holiday anthology of love and laughter.
Christmas Castle
Based on L. Frank Baum's Christmas tales, Christmas Castle tells the story of when Santa was kidnapped bya group of creatures, determined to cancel Christmas, and Santa's loyal magical creatures have to save Santa and Christmas before the night is over.
Notting Hill
The life of a simple bookshop owner changes when he meets the most famous film star in the world. The romantic title stars superstars Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant in the lead.
One Magic Christmas
This forgotten 1985 Disney release is a must watch, which sadly flopped at the box office, in which the iconic Harry Dean Stanton plays an angel who watches over a struggling working-class family whose matriarch, played by Mary Steenburgen, experiences some close calls as she learns the true meaning of Christmas. It has the rare mix of grit and sentimentality, borrows heavily from It’s A Wonderful Life and, call us crazy, contains shades of Groundhog Day, which wouldn’t come out for another eight years.
Jack Frost
Michael Keaton gets a Christmas movie, too. He plays a man literally named Jack Frost, who lived his life as a bitter, aging rocker and meets a tragic end in a car accident on Christmas Day. A year later, his son plays a song on his old harmonica and brings him back to life; this time as a snowman. Bad special effects might make this one more of a horror film than a heartwarming Christmas movie, but nonetheless, here it is.
Jingle All the Way
Arnold Schwartzenegger plays a busy man who has continuously let his young son down, and promises, this Christmas, that he will get him the Turbo-Man action figure, the most coveted toy of the holiday season. But he’s not the only dad who’s made this promise, which leads to a real showdown with another father, hilariously played by Sinbad.
