Number Three\u00a0of my Top Five Christmas Films<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Scrooged<\/strong>
\nI didn’t get this film the first time I watched it.<\/p>\n

And probably didn’t really get it the second time.<\/p>\n

But on the third watch, Scrooged began to take on a life of its own.<\/p>\n

It became less irritating.<\/p>\n

And Scrooged developed a general feeling of being much more fun than I’d given it credit for.<\/p>\n

A little like when you’re trapped in a lift with the fat smelly boy from IV-B for three hours, and you discover that actually he’s a lot like you.<\/p>\n

Yes, the film has its irritating points.<\/p>\n

But it also has Bill Murray.<\/p>\n

And Bill Murray trumps everything.<\/p>\n
