    Sorry of it's already been answered, but Lethal weapon isn't a Christmas movie. If you remove Christmas from the story, it makes no difference. Die Hard is a Christmas movie because it needs to happen at Christmas. Without the Christmas party, Bruce Willis will not be there, etc.

    I do agree with this logic.

    Thankfully lethal weapon didn’t advance.

    Will there be evening/night match ups or are we safe until the morning?
    Asking for a friend!

    Actually we’re through 12 match ups already so that’s a good place to leave it for today.

    Thanks to Posy for jumping in when work jumped on me.

    We’ll kick off again tomorrow morning bright and early :)

    Had the alarm set and all! Was trying to recruit Boards friend to support my Casablanca (& Die Hard) voting but he scoffed at me saying it’s not Christmas and they’re not Christmas movies. Bah humbug.

    Batman Returns and Love Actually. i didn't know Batman Returns was a Christmas movie!

    As it happens, I haven't seen the other two.

    EDIT: I see I'm too late!

    I would have voted for Home Alone in the next match as well!
