    Need a reason though :pac:

    End of converation was the reason.

    If it needs saying, it's just a far superior film. The older it gets the more charming it is, but even without the 80's-ness, it's a really good action film. Funny, with a hero you actually like, supporting characters that amuse you and a villain with no redeeming characters.

    Hmmmmm....

    Tactical or preference?

    Gonna go...

    It's A Wonderful Life.

    Probably deserves the final a little bit more than Home Alone.

    It's a Wonderful Life is a deserving finalist and it gets my vote over Home Alone which is also a great movie but doesn't have the staying power.

    This is tough, both in my top 5. Will go for Home Alone as more likely to keep the whole family entertained throughout

    It’s a Wonderful Life, tragedy, love, desperation, kindness, it’s all part of life but we get through it together. It’s Christmas

    Its a Wonderful Life, the original Christmas classic and feel good movie

    And the more I think about Home Alone, its actually kind of tedious, wouldn't be bothered watching it again

    No. My vote was 2 posts further on. Which doesn't seem to have been counted yet.

    Another tough choice, but gonna go with Home Alone because it's Die Hard for kids, and if it goes through 2 of my nominations are in the final, after having 3 in the semis

    IAWL - it gets me right in the feels everytime I watch it. HA has its charm, Pesci and Stern are an excellent double act but I'll go for the old school classic

    Little do you know but once he gets the bank up and running again George Bailey goes all Rambo on Potter and hangs his corpse on the entrance sign to Bedford Falls - it was a deleted scene
