    This is tough, both in my top 5. Will go for Home Alone as more likely to keep the whole family entertained throughout


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,157 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    It’s a Wonderful Life, tragedy, love, desperation, kindness, it’s all part of life but we get through it together. It’s Christmas


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭ArnoldJRimmer


    Its a Wonderful Life, the original Christmas classic and feel good movie

    And the more I think about Home Alone, its actually kind of tedious, wouldn't be bothered watching it again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,648 ✭✭✭honeybear


    Home Alone because of the laughs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,074 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how

    This a vote?

    No. My vote was 2 posts further on. Which doesn't seem to have been counted yet.

    Home alone because " Harry, I've reached the top!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Another tough choice, but gonna go with Home Alone because it's Die Hard for kids, and if it goes through 2 of my nominations are in the final, after having 3 in the semis


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,832 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    Home alone, its got Joe Pesci doing his best not to actually Curse in a kids film



    Cant vote Its a wonderful life, bad guys get away with it.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    IAWL - it gets me right in the feels everytime I watch it. HA has its charm, Pesci and Stern are an excellent double act but I'll go for the old school classic

    Little do you know but once he gets the bank up and running again George Bailey goes all Rambo on Potter and hangs his corpse on the entrance sign to Bedford Falls - it was a deleted scene

    It's A Wonderful Life , it's relevant to everyone , and home alone gets a bit meh after a while .


  • Registered Users Posts: 126 ✭✭1percent


    IAWL because it deserves to loss to DH in the final. Can't stand the movie

    Gremlins - enough of home alone


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,444 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    Home alone because " wheres my gold tooth ? I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill him. Razenfrazenshfhendnejfhdb"


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    And Gremlins gets 3rd place!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,231 ✭✭✭Hercule Poirot


    Home Alone, can't stand Kevin McAllister but the two boys make it a great film for me


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Yay :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,444 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    If I didnt milk the quote I would have gotten in for HA lol


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Okay, I actually hadn't planned to finish this tonight. How would you like this final to be held? I could leave it open overnight and at 9am, announce the winner. No "first to" X points. Everyone gets a chance to vote, if they're around in the next 12 hours.

    Or, I could just continue as we have been, with a first to, say, 15?


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Thank this if you want to leave open for 12 hours.

    I like the latter


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Thank this if you want to go with a first to 15 right now.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,074 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    Open it, give it until 22:00 and call it.
    Be surprised if 15 has not been reached by then anyway.

    some awful weirdos lurk these halls overnight.
