🎅☃️❄️Ho-Ho-Holiday Movie Showdown🎄🤶📽

[TheMrBurns]

Woke up this morning to a thin veneer of snow on the ground and immediately started singing It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas... badly. Scrooge has a slim lead with only a few more hours of voting left. I never realized that It's a Wonderful Life gave some people such a massive hate boner

Or it’s just that Scrooge is that much better

Heck, we could have a Christmas Carol bracket for best version.

"Come in and know me better, man!"

That is not even a competition… the Alastair Sim 1951 version is the best.

 

[BrendaBear]

Well, I readily admit, the best thing about that movie is the “lost ending”.

Michael Cain, no question. He acts as if every muppet is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company and he refuses to let them down.

This is the way!

That is a priceless James Stewart impression

 

[TheMrBurns]

Your winner, by split decision, 6-4, the marvelous metamorphised miser, Scrooge! It will move on to the quarterfinals to face the winner of Battle #8 while poor Jimmy Stewart goes back to Bedford Falls, the movie house, the emporium and that wonderful old building and loan. On to the next match-up.

Battle #7

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

vs.

Love Actually

In the corner to my right a movie featuring one of the greatest rants of all time as well as the stars of Community, Seinfeld and Big Bang Theory, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. And in the corner to my left, a movie featuring... well... every popular British actor of 2000, Love Actually. So have some eggnog, buy some jewelry for the "wife" and prepare for that huge holiday bonus in this battle of crushingly dissapointing Christmas gifts.

Battle #7
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

vs.

Love Actually

Oh cool - I have no dog in this fight. I have never heard of “Love Actually”, and I absolutely detest the Vacation movies. So, for this one…

 

[DannieB]

Love Actually

 

[barefootgirl69]

Actually, I watch Love Actually every year.

Final answer.

 

[TomTeacher19]

Love actually.

Some of these match ups seem unfair either movie should lose.

Some of these - like this one - seem unfair either movie should win

 

[UnquietDreams]

Love Actually is almost worse than It's A Wonderful Life. If it moves on, I will tell you why. Why yes, that is a threat...

I don't like the Vacation movies. I loathe Love Actually except for one scene.

My vote is for Christmas Vacation.

I’m not sure if I want Love Actually to win if Dreams here keeps crushing my Christmas movie dreams

So vote for Christmas Vacation!

So vote for Christmas Vacation!

I already voted! Now I’m stuck in some Christmas limbo

Christmas Vacation.

"Surprised? Eddie, if I woke up tomorrow morning with my head sewed to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am right now."

"We're gonna have the Hap Hap Happiest Christmas since Big Crosby tap danced with Danny Fucking Kaye."

 

[Lia Monde]

Love Actually. Seamlessly blends Christmas joy, tension and love across all levels of society and age groups. It’s a winner solely for Bill Nighy.

 

[Bry1313]

Bill Nighy is a treasure for Love Actually, otherwise all the “Love” stories in Love Actually are super problematic, especially the PM falling for the “fat” admin. Gotta go with Christmas Vacation.

 

[RosewoodTulip]

I'll go for Christmas Vacation.

Love Actually, other than Emma Thompson's heartbreaking scene, is fairly pretentious.

Christmas Vacation is just ridiculous but the finale is fab and gets you right in the feels

And the sledding scene. And the squirrel.
