harrispizza4 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 My fav is The Christmas List! So simple and cheesy but I love to watch it with the kids! I just looked it up and this movie was made in 1997.....the same year my oldest was born.....and she was born 2 days before Christmas so maybe that's why I like it so much!:)

Scanner420 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Posted November 25, 2009 WOW!!! Wasn't expecting this kind of response!!!! :) I'll double check these movies and add them in!! And to answer the following: Charlie Brown's Christmas, our tradition every year. :)Charlie Brown is a TV Special. I'm running a separate tournament for that starting next week. What is the Holiday Movie Tournament? :) Most of my favorites are already listed, but I also love Jim Hensen's The Christmas Toy and Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer are classics.The Holiday Movie Tournament is a tournament I created last year, where Christmas Movies go head to head against eachother until there is one winner. Last years winner was A Christmas Story! And like I said above, I'm running a separate Tournament for the TV Specials. Rudy and Frosty are in, as is good ole Charlie Brown. If Jim Hensen is a Movie I'll add it to this one, if not I'll add it next week. The House Without A Christmas TreeThe Homecoming Bad Santa I had Bad Santa originally in the bracket above, but switched it out because it got absolutely no votes! I'll addd it again........I thought it was hilarious!!!!
Scanner420 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Posted November 25, 2009 Alright!!!! That's the list!!! I'll draw up the Tournament sometime tomorrow and post it Thursday!! Thanks for your help and input!!!!
SaBell Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Scanner, I don't know if it matters but you didn't specify if 35-Last Holiday is the 1950 or the 2006 versionalso if46-Christmas in Connecticut is the 1945 or the 1992 version
onecutemoocow Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 ok so what is the tournament? Is it a list of movies you think the networks will run before christmas?
allshoppedout Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 ok so what is the tournament? Is it a list of movies you think the networks will run before christmas?I was about to post this question this a.m..... I either --even though I have been here a few seasons... I think we need to know, if not for us, how about the newbies! I was guessing that it was fellow-gotta-dealers trying to convince the OP that OUR CHOICE of Holiday movie was "good enough" to be posted on their list of all time classic Holiday movies......but need explanation... PLEASE "'SPLAIN IT TO ME LUCY"
Karmarose Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Scanner, I don't know if it matters but you didn't specify if 35-Last Holiday is the 1950 or the 2006 versionalso if46-Christmas in Connecticut is the 1945 or the 1992 versionFor me personally its the 1945 version. I didn't know that there was a 1950 Last Holiday. I will have to look it up. Is it worth it?
elena_398 Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 LOVE national Lampoon's christmas vacation and of course The Christmas story. (we went to the house located in cleveland, ohio 2 years ago... It was so much fun)
Scanner420 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Posted November 26, 2009 Scanner, I don't know if it matters but you didn't specify if 35-Last Holiday is the 1950 or the 2006 versionalso if46-Christmas in Connecticut is the 1945 or the 1992 versionDidn't know there were two versions, they never came on on IMDB or Wiki! Sry! I guess just pick your faves at this point! I'm crunching the numbers now!!
