    At least this match, I think, won't have any arguments about whether they're Christmas movies or not, Round 1, Match 7 (It's also a Tim Allen showdown - that's the way the rand happened!!)

    The Santa Clause (1994)

    Both pretty good but The Santa Clause definitely edges it for me. So funny and it has aged really well.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 50,981 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Santa Clause.

    Not sure if I can use the term better here but it's less sh1t out of the two.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,358 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    I vote the Kranks,

    Probably the best Christmas movie in recent years. Although I don't really like Tim Allen but I can't use that excuse this time.

    The Santa Clause, is a really heartwarming movie gets my vote


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    I actually like both of these, but I guess for childhood nostalgia alone it will have to be The Santa Clause, as that whole trilogy is actually pretty decent.

    Round 1, Match 7:
    At last, two films I have seen in the same match!

    Although I'm more familiar with the first, I preferred the second, because the premise is very funny.

    I like both of these. But definitely has to be the santa Claus. A lovely film and as Toto said, it's aged well!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,994 ✭✭✭c.p.w.g.w


    The Santa Claus...Its much better than Christmas with the Kranks


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    And that puts The Santa Clause in to the second round.

    I have never seen Meet Me in St. Louis in its entirety - only bits of it -, but it gets my vote for that rendition of the song, even though I don't really like those kind of musicals! I don't know the other film at all.
