Only in a jolly John Candy kind of way.

Assault on Precinct 13. Can't stand A Christmas Carol, or anything to do with it.

Wait. Is QuickB actually Santa?

Tell me how

Can I just remind people getting aggrieved at particular movie threads that we had Kit-Kats playing a part in the best biscuit thread in a move that must have been organised by someone with the moral capacity and mental capability of an FAI Board member.

I hope ye all remember that when Die Hard (the original) wins this outright.

Ho ho ho.

Declan A Walsh

Round 1, Match 21

Probably too late, but...

Mary Poppins vs Home Alone 2. This is a tough one, but Mary Poppins is a classic with all its animation and magic. It gets my vote, despite rather than because of the music! Home Alone 2 is an enjoyable caper, but it is not quite a classic.

Hercule Poirot

Assault on Precinct 13

Mam of 4

Mary Poppins .

Out and out classic film , which never dates and I watch it everytime it's on !

ArnoldJRimmer

Assault on Precinct 13 as I've seen it and the Dickens one looks sh!te

Mehaffey1

Assault on Precinct 13, one of my picks. Good to get a bit of exciting TV at Christmas instead of long winded family affairs.

quickbeam

Home Alone 2 through to the next round.

Assault is assaulting Dickens 4-0 at the moment.

Loughc

The man who invented Christmas. Who doesn’t like a good origin story :pac:

Mam of 4

The Man Who Invented Christmas .

Well , we wouldn't be playing this game if it wasn't for him would we !

Was actually 5-0 at the time. 5-1 now. Just for clarity.

Tell me how

The man who invented Christmas.

Because Mam of 4 makes a very good point.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

You may want to recount, because Assault has more than 4. I counted 6 (although 1 was reasonless), but I'll vote Assault on Precinct 13, because its in the interest of moving things along.

deconduo

District 13 - enjoyed it and haven't seen the other one

Assault on Precinct 13 stomps in to Round 2.

Last Christmas (2019)



https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8623904/

Kate is a young woman subscribed to bad decisions. Working as an elf in a year round Christmas store is not good for the wannabe singer. However, she meets Tom there. Her life takes a new turn. For Kate, it seems too good to be true.

Stars: Emilia Clarke, Henry Golding, Emma Thompson

Loughc

Last Christmas. Because black Christmas is just too poor to go through.

Pretzill

I haven't seen either of the above but I reckon if Last Christmas was on the TV (at Christmas) I'd probably watch it. Black Christmas looks like somthing that should have been forgotton about, I certainly have?

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Black Christmas, because I love a good slasher.

Necro

Good Lord there are so many bad Christmas movies.

Black Christmas cos sorority girls = bewbs.

Last Christmas also sounds horrific, no Love Actually anyways.

Ficheall

I'll guess Black Christmas, though I suspect it is nowhere near good as the benefit of the doubt I am giving it.

Deja Boo

I LOVE While You Were Sleeping!



(but I dunno how to vote yet - clearly am behind here!)

Pretzill

Who would put Black Christmas in a top 5? Of anything?

Last Christmas. I didn't see it yet but I'm looking forward to it and I just know I'll love it!

Zaph

I know nothing about Black Christmas, but I have seen Last Christmas and to call it utter sh*te does a disservice to sh*te, so Black Christmas it is.

Deja Boo

LAST CHRISTMAS LOOKS SO GOOD!



(MY OLD KEYBOARD IS STUCK YELLING AT PEOPLE, SORRY!)

Aww I thought it might have something going for it. It will certainly wait until I find it on the tele Christmas 22

ArnoldJRimmer

Have seen neither, but Black Christmas at least looks like a bit of craic

That a vote for Last Christmas?

Kolido

I haven't seen either of them. Last Christmas seems vomeletey though. I shall abstain.

The Wizard of Oz, although I have not yet attempted to watch it in sync with Dark Side of the Moon, gonna attempt it at some stage. Also drunk munchkins

Deja Boo

MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET ...SUCH A WARM FILM

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Miracle On 34th Street - tough choice in general, because both are great, but since the other has zero connection to Xmas whatsoever, I'll go with Miracle.

sKeith

definetly miracle on 34th street, as wizard of oz is not an xmas movie.

Kolido

I vote the wizard of oz

Is it a christmas?..who knew?. Its one of my favourite movie so gets my vote. Go on Dorethy, get home to Kansas and put up that christmas tree.

I LOVE Wizard of Oz but Miracle on 34th Street is so lovely and Christmassy that it gets my vote.

Miracle on 34th Street! I love both versions but this one is my favourite!

Necro

Miracle on 34th Street (again)

I nominated the remake here as I think it's one of the times they got it just right.

Wizard of Oz is a movie shown at Christmas. Not a Christmas movie (there is a big difference imo)

Miracle
Because it's even better then the first miracle I voted for already!

Mehaffey1

Miracle on 34th Street, no great fan of it but Oz just happens to be a kids movie.
