Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Best Christmas Movie - Boardsies Decide
-
07-12-2019 9:54pm#1Best Christmas Movie - Boardsies Decide
The rules:- 64 films in the competition, 32 first round matches.
- Pick one of film and decide which you prefer. Give a reason. Films where no reason are given won't be counted. All valid votes will be thanked by me to confirm that they are accepted.
- First to 6 votes goes through to the next round. Depending on volume of voters/contributors, this may increase exponentially by 1 vote each round.
- One vote per player per match.
- No take backsies on a vote once cast.
- Anyone can vote, even if you hadn't submitted any nominations.
- If there are votes for a considerable period, the film with the most votes will go through even if it hasn't reached 7 votes. Ties will be decided by me, if deadlocked for a considerable period.
And a final note on the mechanics:- Movies with the most nominations have been seeded to avoid playing off against each other in the first rounds.
- To make up the 64 movies required for a knock-out some wildcards have been added (OP's choice), but these will always play against the highest seeded movies.
- Match order has been randomised (ie, you won't necessarily see the Seed 1 in the first match)
Competition starting Monday, chat among yourselves if you like, but still no mention of nominations until they are closed.11

Nic cage can do no wrong in my books, yes I know he has made more movies in the last month than most actors do in a career, nevertheless, Harry Porter is not Christmasy.

Harry Potter...haven't seen the other one but Nic cage in an Xmas movie?
Even that short synopsis you gave seems a ridiculous premise even for him. Dam yanks taking huge liberties with old christmas storiesI vote Family Man.
