00:00 So there's a lot. I'd probably go... I don't know.
00:05 I like Love Actually and I like Home Alone.
00:09 Okay, how come? Why those two?
00:11 I like Love Actually, apart from the bit where she doesn't get the necklace. That makes me really sad.
00:16 But I like everything else. I call the Love in it. And I like Home Alone because of the colour. It's a legend.
00:23 Amazing. First one or do you like the sequels as well?
00:26 We've watched the second one actually the other day but they probably should have stopped it for more than one I think.
00:32 Fair enough.
00:33 I'm really ashamed to say it but for me it is Love Actually.
00:36 No! Why are you ashamed of that?
00:38 Because I recognise it's a terrible film that perpetuates horrible relationship ideals and power imbalances.
00:46 But that one scene with the necklace in the film makes me cry every time.
00:53 It's so moving. It's horribly sad and it describes the future of marriage and relationships but it makes something of you.
01:07 Yeah, that is fair enough. That's my favourite one as well so it's fine. I can't argue.
01:13 How about yourself?
01:15 The two more recent films, Christmas Chronicles 1 and 2.
01:18 I think they star Jack Nichols.
01:23 Okay, I've not seen those.
01:24 That might be the wrong name. But yeah, they're the only films that I think actually capture the magical feeling of Christmas.
01:30 Okay, what are they about? I've not heard of those.
01:33 Santa basically crashes his sleigh and these two children have to basically fix Christmas for them.
01:40 I know it sounds like a broken record but they do it better than the other films.
01:43 Incredible. Okay, and you said?
01:46 I feel like Home Alone and Nativity are the classics but I will give you that scene a lot actually.
01:50 Like, James Mitchell and Parallel.
01:52 Original Nativity?
01:53 Yeah, yeah, definitely.
01:55 Of course.
