Both worthy winners, this is my #1 and #3 movie

 

[Deezy]

Both these movies I like, and based off my responses for most of these. I don't like Christmas movies.

Going with the Canadian movie.

I like the idea of Christmas Story winning just cos it seems a bit of an underdog in this thing. Not seen it though.
