Home Alone

Adore the cast, very rewatchable, and just the perfect Christmas movie for me.

I think these two both deserve to win though, so wouldn't blame anyone for coin flipping this one. Gun to head, I'm going to watch Home Alone over Grinch. I imagine it's the opposite for some others.

 

[Chris]

I'd have picked Die Hard over Home Alone tbh but Grinch > all

 

[Spitfire]

Can't believe Home Alone has got so far - would truly consider it a bargain bucket film. Grinch is the obvious choice at this point - even the best film has been eliminated from contention

No Planes, Trains...??

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Home Malone votes Home Alone.

 

[Alexa]

The Grinch for one reason...Boris Karloff

 

[Keith]

Always find it hard to compare short films to features. I will vote Home Alone. Its a worthy final though.
