And the best Christmas movie is still…

February 3, 2013

DIE HARD!

After falling off the face of the Earth for a good two months, I was hoping for a Christmas miracle upon my return. But alas, the masses have spoken, and their love for John McClane remains stronger than ever. What can I say, the proof is in the pudding.

Maybe next year, George Bailey. Maybe next year.

Swell voting, folks. This isn’t over…

RESULTS:
Die Hard: 24 votes
Home Alone: 20 votes
It’s a Wonderful Life: 16 votes
A Christmas Story: 16 votes

      Haha. One of these years, man, Die Hard will go down.

        Unless they start making good Christmas films again, I doubt it 😀

        Haha. I just can’t believe that A Christmas Story and It’s a Wonderful Life will continue to come in as the runners-up. It just can’t be, Tim.

        I do love those films, but i am a blood thirsty lunatic so Die Hard wins 😀

        Haha. Fair enough, Tim. Fair enough.

    My poll ended up with Bad Santa and The Muppet Christmas Carol tied for first place. It was a pretty strange result really.

      Hahaha. That’s an AWESOME result! Man, what is up with the internet and Christmas movies?

        I know, I just assumed that it would be a close run thing between It’s a Wonderful life and Die Hard.

        I’m just shocked it’s not between A Christmas Story and It’s a Wonderful Life. Those are the freaking essentials in my book.
