Celebs’ fave films with the Xmas factor
WE RUN DOWN THE MAGICAL MOVIES SOME WELL-KNOWN
I LOVE James Stewart, who plays George. Me and Julian Barratt were talking about doing a remake of that for a Christmas special. He kills himself and I turn up as an angel, but I’ve just come back from a fancy dress party and he doesn’t know that. I show him what life would be like when he’s gone – and it would be better! WATCH IT: Today, 5.45pm, Sky Cinema Xmas WATCH IT: IT’S so good. I watched it all the time as a child – even in the summer. I loved Macaulay Culkin, I thought he was so handsome. And I just loved all the tricks he plays on the burglars. I used to try to build my own traps at home. When I watch it now it feels so nostalgic. It’s such a funny movie.
