    Christmas Vacation

    Think that last one ended a while back, I counted 7 votes a good few posts ago.

    So what's left?

    Home Alone
    Home Alone 2
    Elf
    Christmas Vacation

    At least thats my recollection... some semi final line up that!

    That makes me really sad. Muppets aside, they're all "silly" rather than sincere Christmas films. I'm a heartstrings kinda gal and not one of these does anything for me. Oh well, no acounting for taste :D

    If they are matched according to how they were matched in the quarter-finals, it will be Home Alone 2 v Elf and Home Alone v National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. If that is the case, there could be one or more Home Alone movies in the final!

    I cried when Clarke tried the outside lights in front of the whole family and they didn't come on :(

    The quarter finals couldn't have been any closer. An average of 12 votes cast for the first 3 matchups ahows just how tight those 3 games were. Klaus however got a lesson.

    To Klaus' defence it was the highest seed left in the tournament so it did well to survive as long as it did. Our entire semi finalist are comprised of the top 4 seeds. But in some cases only 1 more vote would have seen them packing.

    Elf survived two 1 vote matchups. The Last 16 & The Q-Finals.

    Also have to account for the fact that Klaus is only a couple of years old. A very solid performance I think, the others have had years and years to build a good following!!

    Exactly, and even allowing for its recent enough release, being a netflix film not as many would have seen it anyway as those that have appeared on traditional TV channels.

    Excellent points! The other movies are almost part of the fabric of Christmas while Klaus is only a baby.
