We all know the big ones… what’s a less famous one worth watching?

    Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather is my favorite Xmas movie. It’s technically 2 90 minute episodes.

    Red One was stupid and fun.

    DreamWorks’ the Grinch is actually a fun watch.

      I had been debating getting into Discworld forever and someone here recommended checking out the Hogfather movie as it was up on Youtube anyway, so I checked it out. Without having any context, I still really enjoyed it and the style of humor. Felt like a fun take on Nightmare Before Christmas, but perhaps even weirder.

      A few months later I read Guards, Guards and loved that. Had to do some longer road trips this fall so I listened to audiobooks of Mort and Equal Rites and loved those, so at that point I decided I mat as well start from the beginning and just today started Witches Abroad. I’ve been hooked!

      I didn’t know there was a hogfather movie . Thank you - I’m so excited to watch it now. I’m even going to wait for my daughter who’s visiting over Xmas as she and I read a lot of the TP books together.

        As a huge fan of the books, they translate very oddly to film, so keep that in mind. Low expectations is a good thing, and you’ll have a good time
