'It's about getting together and watching a fun film' - Wolverhampton residents pick out their favourite Christmas films - and weigh in on one controversial movie that sparks debate every year
As the countdown continues towards Christmas day, many people will be thinking about settling down to watch their favourite festive film.
There are plenty of options for people to choose from and many people will have a preference for what their favourite Christmas film is, as well as debate about whether one particular film is a Christmas film or not.
In a recent poll conducted by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), with 2,000 people surveyed, the most popular film picked was Home Alone, which starred Macaulay Culkin in 1990, with the 2003 British romantic comedy Love Actually starring Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant taking second place.
These were followed by 1946 James Stewart classic It's A Wonderful Life in third place, with Elf, which was released in 2003, in fourth.
The survey also found that 17 per cent of people said they do not have a clear favourite, while 44 per cent said Die Hard, the action thriller starring Bruce Willis , is not a Christmas film, despite it being set during the festive season.
However, one in 20 (5 per cent) of respondents said it was their favourite Christmas movie, and 17 per cent remained undecided.
