This is the first time I’ve tried this, so hopefully you guys can help me out. Among our most treasured holiday memories, are the television specials and movies that made our yuletide special (or at the very least, kept us out of our parents’ hair until they could finish wrapping our presents). Starting December 1st until Christmas Day, I will be posting the Top 25 (or Top 50 if I get enough nominations) Christmas Specials and/or Movies as voted by the Wrestlecrap Forums. Please PM me your Top 15 sometime between now and 12:00am on December 1st. You can post your list here if you wish, but I will only count the ones that are sent by PM. A few ground rules: 1) The movie or TV specials must have an overall holiday theme (Christmas, Hanukkah or New Years). 2) Since there are about 900 remakes of A Christmas Carol and Miracle on 34th Street, please include the year in your nomination or the vote won’t be counted. 3) I’m already vetoing Die Hard and Lethal Weapon 4) TV series' Christmas episodes are fine, just be sure to specify. A few links to help you out: List of Christmas television specials: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christmas_television_specialsList of Christmas Film: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christmas_filmsOne Top 100 Christmas Movie List: digitaldreamdoor.nutsie.com/pages/movie-pages/movie_christmas.html

Oh, boo you, sir. However, you failed to veto Batman Returns, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, or Rocky IV! ;D That would be boo to you Miss, thank you. Actually, this does go into weird territory. I would say that movies like that aren't really Christmas movies even though they take place during Christmas. On the other hand, only a small part of Its A Wonderful Life takes place at Christmas, but it is widely considered a Christmas film. If that logic makes any sense. I'll count Gremlins, just for my own personal bias.

Changing the rules slightly. I just realized that 25 is a ridiculously big number, so just send me your Top 15 instead. Also, I'm letting in horror movies since there are so many great bad ones. And since someone asked, The Ref and Bad Santa are perfectly fine.
