Winded Dec 2015 9:49pm, 18 Dec 2015 3,877 posts	0 Winded In Germany and some other bits of Europe the favourite Christmas film is" Dinner for One" - a black and white short English language film featuring a butler who gets drunk. It's funny in a slapstick sort of way; but not funny enough to watch every year as they seem to do. It's on youtube - the full version is a bit under 18 minutes so it's a quicker experience than most Christmas films. Why this is so popular is a bit of a mystery.

We have Home Alone on video and it's an OK film although I find McCauley Culkin really irritating. Why was it that The Wizard of Oz was always shown on Christmas Eve (or thereabouts) every year in the seventies?
