    I was going to nominate this one myself but due to the fact the run time and the fact it never released in the cinemas I think we should save this one for the TV specials (tournament coming soon ;) )

    Other nominations -
    Office Christmas Party

    Charlie Brown I think falls under the TV special.

    I won't nominate anything but I might dip in and out for the voting!

    Incidentally, I don't know if it has been done before, but maybe a link to this could be put up on the Films forum. Just a thought!

    So loads of people with no interest in Christmas can vote for die hard?

    Fair enough if the mods go for it but IMO it'll dilute the vote from in here and skew it.

    Rule 3. Movies are ranked/seeded by number of nominations and the box office takings.
