    I probably caused the confusion. I meant the one with Jim Carey. That movie is a classic.

    I would have thought the prisoner of Azkaban a better choice?

    It’s a Wonderful Life, I think in modern times the message in it is even
    More important. Seriously I usually cry five times during this movie! When
    He gets his little ears bashed, when he lets his brother go to college, when they give him the money!!!! Come on boardsies this is the all time ultimate Christmas movie, it even has Jimmy Stewart! Imagine Christmas without this movie, it wouldn’t be Christmas

    Okay, well this is awkward. I didn't count SGM's vote because no reason.

    Mam's vote was at 7.15, and SGM's edit was at 7.15. However, executive decision, SGM should have had reason there from the start so I'm giving this to It's a Wonderful Life.
