Thank you for the numbers LAO

Game 2 saw a straight forward victory for Elf which goes through to the final, Die Hard died easy, the Polar Express ran out of steam and the Nightmare Before Christmas continues for all Dundee United fans!

I really like all four. Going to go for the most Christmassy film though, Miracle on 34th Street.

Scrooged, please Sieb22

Love all 4 movies as well.

Muppets Christmas Carol is a favourite of my girls and always gets played a multitude of times in my house on the run up to Christmas.

Gremlins is probably one of my all time favourite movies (one third of the 3G's along with Goonies and Ghostbusters!), but again I can enjoy it any time of the year.

Miracle on 34th Street is a movie I had not seen until last year. Have to admit I was utterly charmed by it and if I had seen it when I was going growing up I would probably have more of an emotional attachment to it.

But my vote has to go for Scrooged. Seen it when it first came out, loved it then and love it still now. I appreciate it more now than I did then. When I was young I was amazed that Zed from Police Academy was in it and had a pretty normal voice, now grown up I get to see Bill Murray in his prime, so fun, so witty and so Christmassy.

Another good Round and i like them all tbh.

My vote goes to Scrooged though.

As said above that was Bill Murray at his best.It's my favourite version of the 'Scrooge' tale.

The bit he is crying when he see's his Mum Then follwed up by 'I was touched by the gift,what in today's market would be a 40 or 50 dollar piece of meat' Classic Bill Murray.

The Cop in Gremlins.Guess who?

Sieb22 · 13/12/2015 6:46 pm

He was rent-a-bad guy in 48 hours and Beverly Hills Cop, but I think you are alluding to a tv show(s) that I haven't watched

Will let someone else have a guess

You haven't seen Die Hard and I haven't seen Breaking Bad! We cancel each other out in geek fury

Think he was in a few episodes of Better Call Saul as well, but never seen that either.
