    Happy with that result. The right film walked away with the trophy anyway.

    Cheers for all the work you put in quickbeam.

    I do like gathering data. You may have noticed.

    If I give 1 point to films getting to Round 1; 2 points to films getting to Round 2, etc, and average out the points earned by each of the nominations, I can see that the one who's film nominations went furthest .... with a massive score of 4.8 is.............

    Absolute travesty, Die Hard is shown at times of the year when it's NOT Christmas Ergo it isn't a Xmas movie

    FFS it wasn't even premiered near Christmas, it was in July 1988 and wasn't even released on DVD until March 1989 in Ireland

    IT IS NOT A CHRISTMAS MOVIE


    Other than that, great thread, congrats to those that voted the right way and to QB for hosting it.

    Don't have the slightest interest in sports unfortunately, unless there's a lot of Ultimate Dodgeball moments in the mix, which I sadly doubt is the case.

    Saw that film mentioned a few times last Christmas, so my wife and I decided to watch it. Turned it off after 10 minutes it was so bad. Neither of us could understand how it has such iconic status in the States.
