'A Christmas Film Guide Feast' from your film & TV Substackers 🎄🎬🍸
With a particularly piquant documentary selection from yours truly!
Happy Christmas Eve!1
As I teased yesterday (in my shout out for the Documentary Oscars shortlist chat I did over on
podcast in case you missed it), I’m here like one of Santa’s little elves offering up this very special collaboration for your festive delectation. The hat really suits me don’t you think? 😆
I was thrilled to be invited to help compile this curated guide to some perfect movies for enjoying this holiday season - alongside a carefully chosen drink or snack accompaniment. A most excellent idea, for which full credit must go to
from .
It’s been great fun seeing this guide come together with a really great mixture of perennial classics, deep cuts and some quality, unexpected choices suggested by this brilliant bunch of film & TV Substackers.
I highly recommend you check them all out - after you’ve delved into their very special seasonal selections of course!
For my pick, you won’t be surprised that I’ve gone for a film of the non-fiction variety. I’d been saving up Apple TV’s ‘Twas the Fight Before Christmas’ for my own holiday viewing this year - and so this was the perfect opportunity both to watch it and to share it. Here’s a sneaky-preview of my contribution. But if you want to know what consumable treat I paired this with, then you’ll have to check out the full guide 😁
And with that, this is my festive sign off. Thanks for reading, replying, commenting and leaving those little hearts on my posts this past year (they really do help). I appreciate all of it - and all of you ❤️
With excited anticipation for what’s to come for this space in 2025, until then I’m wishing you a VERY Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
