Best Christmas Movie - Boardsies Decide

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Die Hard, because Yipee-Kay-Ay-Motherf**kers!!! A Christmas Eve Tradition in my house is watching John McClane protect the people of Nakatomi Tower

quickbeam

Die Hard tromps in to Round 3.

Rikand

Actually I hope die hard wins it out because it would be like back to the future almost winning that other contest

Hercule Poirot

Die Hard, has to be - especially against a run of the mill X saves Christmas nonsense

Ficheall

I'll vote for Arthur so he doesn't feel so bad.

quickbeam

Round 2, Match 9

Home Alone (1990)





v



Die Hard 2 (1990)

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Home Alone, because it deserves to go much further in the comp, but this was a really tough choice.

Toto Wolfcastle

Oh ffs, another tough one. Love both but have to go with Die Hard 2 because it’s the better of the Die Hards.

Ficheall

I think my favourite Christmas Movie would be if John McClane shot Macaulay Culkin in the face repeatedly.



DH2 it is.

xalot

Ohhh a tough one. Home Alone purely because it's suitable for everyone.

Necro

Die Hard 2 cos it's even Die Harder than the first Die Hard with extra Christmas feeling

deconduo

Oh no, I think this is the first time two I like are up against each other. Gotta go with Home Alone here, as much as I enjoy DH2.

Kolido

I vote Home Alone

Love both movies, unfortunate to meet this round. however HA is imo the greatest xmas movie and should go on to win the comp.

Hercule Poirot

Die Hard 2 - to be fair, probably more due to having watch Home Alone every year for God knows how long while growing up

Declan A Walsh

Round 2, Match 9: Home Alone vs Die Hard 2

I like both but I think Home Alone has the edge for the great concept (before it was repeated!) and the humour of the film.

sKeith

Die hard 2, as imho, its the 2nd best xmas movie.

Rikand

Home alone because it's one of the greatest christmas movies ever and you cant let it go out now. You just cant!

Joe pesci at his absolute best. Such a versatile actor

I still watch it every year and I love it!

Oooh, a very close one there, but Home Alone just scrapes in to Round 3.

Round 2, Match 10

Miracle on 34th Street (1994)





v



Scrooge (1951)

Rikand

Miracle on 34th

In god we trust!

deconduo

Miracle on 34th street - good classic Christmas movie.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Miracle on 34th Street, because I absolutely loved this version as a kid, but both great films.

Toto Wolfcastle

Miracle on 34th Street for the fantastic performance from my favourite of the Attenboroughs.

Kolido

I vote for Scrooge.

I was in a primary school production of this, I was an extra with one line, that was the end of my acting career. However, I never held a grudge against it, loved the story ever since and this adaption is imo the best.

Necro

Miracle on 34th Street cos it's the better version and BAH HUMBUG TO ALL THESE CHRISTMAS CAROL ADAPTATIONS

oh tough one!

i will go with miracle, because i prefer other scrooge movies over this version

Zaph

Ah crap, I missed voting for Die Hard 2. Home Alone must not be let progress any further. :mad:

Miracle on 34th Street for the moment when he signs to the little girl and her face lights up.

What was the line?

Declan A Walsh

Round 2, Match 10: Miracle on 34th Street vs Scrooge

I just remembered that I did see that version of Scrooge some years ago! I will give it a vote as it is a more substantial film than the other, which is just alright.

other extra: was that scrooge?
Me: Yes, I and do believe he was smiling

Near the end when he was going to bob cratchet with the big turkey.

Ficheall

Miracle on 34th St, because Matilda was great.

Spook_ie

Miracle on 34th, proper Xmas movie and I wish I'd been in time to vote against Feckin Diehard the first, second and Turd

Declan A Walsh

I just noticed that Miracle had it won before I gave my vote!

ArnoldJRimmer

Fcuk sake, turn my back for a second, and you vote for that four eyed w@nker ahead of one of the best Christmas films of all time, Scrooged? Gonna be making me some vindictive choices from here on in

Green&Red

Miracle on 34th, great story

quickbeam

Yes, Miracle is through to Round 3.

Round 2, Match 11

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)





v



The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

Necro

The Grinch.

Carrey > Jack Skellington

Nuff said

EltonJohn69

The Blues Brothers.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

How The Grinch Stole Christmas - I'm not a massive fan of either of them, but Jim Carrey is always fun to watch.

I have not seen either so I can't vote on them!

Ficheall

Nightmare. Possibly the best animated film of all time, and it even has Santa Claus for those voters who have tinsel between their ears.

whatawaster

Grinch. Big Jim Carey fan, but could never warm to Burton
