This press release just arrived in the Practical Caravan office.
When it comes to the nation's favourite Christmas film, classic family favourites are top of the bill according to research carried out by over 50s insurer and proud sponsor of ODEON senior screen, RIAS. 'Miracle on 34th Street' was voted as our best-loved film with the story, first-released on the silver screen in 1947, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.
The 1947 version of the Academy Award-winning Christmas classic, starring Maureen O'Hara and John Payne, tells the story of a single mother and her daughter who are left wondering whether a department store Father Christmas is actually the real Mr Claus. In the seasonal survey conducted by RIAS, 'Miracle on 34th Street' came in first, followed by 'The Snowman', the 1980s animated classic. 'White Christmas' and 'A Christmas Carol' jointly share third place in the nations affections this Christmas.
The nation's best-loved Christmas films are:
1. Miracle on 34th Street
2. The Snowman
3. White Christmas
4. A Christmas Carol
5. Santa Claus - The Movie
6. Scrooge
7. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
8. The Muppets' Christmas Carol
9. The Nightmare Before Christmas
10. How the Grinch Stole Christmas
The favourite Christmas film survey was carried out to mark RIAS' highly successful first six months sponsorship of ODEON Senior Screen, which offers mature guests the opportunity to meet friends for a mid-morning screening of the best recent films and some classics from over the years. The admission price is reduced and free tea and coffee is available before the screening.
Personally, I think Scrooged should be in there...
