🎅☃️❄️Ho-Ho-Holiday Movie Showdown🎄🤶📽

I feel like this is an unfair match up! I’m more likely to watch Nightmare so I’ll give that one my vote.

Die Hard off to an early lead which leaves me but one question, where all the Goth Girls at?

I don’t know… but I was inspired and am watching Die Hard right now.

Struggling with their love of Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber. Probably.

Speaking of creepy animated characters, here is yet another lovely song from an honourable mention, all aboard the Polar Express, destination, Uncanny Valley.

I love that movie!

I always wondered, if Die Hard is a Christmas movie, why isn't Lethal Weapon?

In Lethal Weapon, a guy gets assassinated and the bullet goes through his eggnog carton.

What could be more Christmassy than that???

It is on the list of honourable mentions. It is also a true multi-faith holiday feature since the final boss fight includes the use of a Festivus pole, feats of strength and the airing of grievances!

Love this fight scene!

Die Hard for sure

 

[UnquietDreams]

I am late!

I am love both, but I am voting Die Hard b because Alan Rickman was in one good Christmas movie.

Gremlins, however, is far more a Christmas movie.

 

[TheMrBurns]

Your round 3 winner by technical knockout (8-1), Die Hard! It will move on to yippee kai-yay Scrooged in the quarter finals while poor Jack Skelington returns to Halloween Town in shame... though I guess that's a good thing for him, like the Adams Family where bad is good? Regardless, on to the next battle.

Battle #4

Miracle on 34th Street

vs.

Little Women

In the corner to my right, a movie so wonderful it would have been an absolute travesty to ever consider remaking it. And in the corner to my left, a movie so wonderful it would have been an absolute travesty to ever consider remaking it. One of these is my all time favourite holiday movie. So let the battle of the yeah-I-saw-the-remake-wasn't-nearly-as-good-as-the-original movies commence.

Miracle of 34th Street I started watching it when I was just a wee lad.

 

[crazychemgirl]

If it’s the ORIGINAL Miracle on 34th street … then that is my choice but that is a tough one for sure.

What are you talking about? There was no remake of Miracle on 34th Stret, just like there was no Highlander II and no remake of the Crow.

 

[UnquietDreams]

Damnit. Miracle on 34th Street. But it's close.

 

[crazychemgirl]

Right???

 

[Deadfreak]

Miracle on 34th Street.

I love old movies!!!!

 

[kccasey]

my favorite didn't even make the list.........BAD SANTA........so good. No kid, this is Mrs. Santa's sister.

In the third draft of the bracket it was Lethal Weapon against It's a Wonderful Life in a battle of suicidal main characters but I decided it was a bit too dark for the holidays.

This reminds me of college football and the "my team should be in the play-offs" controversy. No one will ever completely agree with the choices.

 

[Bry1313]

Miracle on 34th St but not sure how either of these had a higher seed than Scrooged
