Another possibility is perhaps Time Bandits?
Features David Rappaport & of course Sean Connery. I love that film.
John Cleese as Robin Hood is fantastic!
Not really Xmas-y but lots of fun are the Harry Harryhausen films Sinbad, Titans, Jason and the Argonauts etc... I love those films!

And I love Jason and the Argonauts so would definitely vote for that! |

Ahh that's a coincidence, I watched that particular Snow Queen (starring Bridget Fonda) last month and it is a fun fantasy so would be up for seeing that again, great visuals and there's a lovely polar bear in it. As for Ray Harryhausen I'd vote for my fave, Clash of the Titans.

So, December rewatches, what do we reckon? We've got the 2nd sorted (Clash of the Titans), how about the 9th, 16th and 23rd? I must say I think time Bandits is a good option in the 'pantomime' category, and with David Rappaport starring it actually has a RoS link (not to mention John Cleese as Robin Hood).
Or we could watch more Harryhausen films, I think the Sinbad ones are even more pantomime-y, and Golden Voyage stars Tom Baker, while Patrick Troughton is in Eye of the Tiger.
The Bridget Fonda Snow Queen is appropriately wintery but it is very long, 2hrs 44min, so we'd have to split it over 2 weeks.
The M R James ghost stories are good, and traditionally shown at Christmas, but not at all festive.
Muppet Christmas Carol has it all, festive and fun.
So, what shall we fill the remaining three weeks with (or two, if people are busy on the 23rd). Votes please, or say if there's anything you really don't want.

I'll vote for the two Sinbads I think because they are fun and pantomimey and feature two of my faves, Tom Baker and Patrick Troughton. Happy to go along with the majority though. However I wouldn't want Muppet Christmas Carol because I do traditionally watch that with Jack.

So here's the rewatch schedule up to Christmas:
9th December - The Golden Voyage of Sinbad
16th December - Jason and the Argonauts
23rd December - Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger
They're all about 1 hour 40 mins long, so not too bad to watch in one go. Shall we start at 8 or 8.15pm?

So, the current plan is to work our way through the six Doctor Who stories that make up The Key To Time over the next few weeks (or months!). The stories are:
The Ribos Operation
The Pirate Planet
The Stones of Blood
The Androids of Tara
The Power of Kroll
The Armageddon Factor
All of them are 4 episodes long, apart from The Armageddon Factor which is 6 episodes long, and we'll watch 2 episodes per week. The schedule so far is:
9th December - The Ribos Operation, episodes 1 and 2
16th December - The Ribos Operation, episodes 3 and 4
I wasn't sure if people would want to do a rewatch on 23rd or 30th December, in case any of us are busy with Christmas stuff, so we'll work that out later.

If we do have a special rewatch session this year how about this??? If people are free..
I see from last year Time Bandits was mentioned..
This of course has RoS links.. Robin Hood, Sean Connery and of course the great David Rappaport
Could do that as a special rewatch session, or we could do Muppet's Xmas Carol

We've got nothing planned for the 23 or 30 so would be free for rewatch  I wouldn't vote for the Muppet Christmas Carol as we've only just watched it (love it!) but I've never seen Time Bandits before so might be interesting! |

I don't know what we'll watch after all the episodes of The Key To Time. Dennis and I have been thinking of more DW episodes you guys might like, but I also thought that some episodes of the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes featuring actors from RoS might be quite fun (Nickolas Grace, Anthony Valentine, Oliver Tobias, Patricia Hodge and Yves Beneyton off the top of my head). I think it would be nice to wait a little while before we go through the whole of RoS again, although we could do the episodes with commentaries, they'd be good for getting us in the mood for the con.

Hi everyone, it looks like we won't be able to do the rewatch on Thursday, so could we move it to Wednesday or Friday? If not, could we postpone until next week?
