It’s the time of year where the reality that Christmas is just around the corner sets in. The stress of Christmas shopping falls upon our shoulders, plans for the family to descend begin to form and it’s only a matter of time before the arguments begin to arise about who is tackling the turkey.
We thought we’d take a little time out from all of this to focus on the aged old question; what is the best Christmas film?
We tracked down the busy DVD, Blu-ray and Steelbook buyers to find out what their top Christmas films are, they are the experts after all.
To give us the low down on their top Christmas films, we asked them to pick their top 5 of all time. Let us inspire your Christmas viewing this year from family friendly Christmas films to action packed adventures.
Steve Cook, Buyer at The HutSteve's top picks appeal to adults as much as they do to the kids, each has an undercurrent of mature humour running through meaning there's something for everyone. Maybe reserve Die Hard for the grown-ups though...

An eclectic mixture of Christmas classics and alternatives, Joe's choices range from the family-friendly to the positively gory.
