Exactly.  This bracket is wron.  Die Hard is the best Christmas movie.

No Die Hard and no Love Actually. 10, 15, and 16 seeds do not belong. 

Elf vs. Christmas Story is a tough F4 matchup.

Gremlins, Die Hard, Elf, Home Alone, Christmas Vacation and Its a Wonderful Life should be in the 6 team playoff.

They wanted the other movies to have a chance.

It's like UIL putting MoJo on suspension so that some shit team from Amarillo can get ass-blasted in the quarterfinals instead for a change, or the Foglios taking themselves out of contention for the Graphic Novel Hugo so that some other comic could win.

Bullshit bracket without Santa Claus is Cummin' to Town, The Buttcracker, and Dick the Halls.

No Christmas with the Kranks

8/9 matchup is a nightmare.  Like those two movies literally freak me out.

Four Christmases 100% belongs.

Definitely skewed towards newer movies.  Its a Wonderful Life may be the GOAT, but feels like it doesn't even belong in that bracket all by itself.  Kind of like a best baseball player bracket with all modern players and Babe Ruth, but no Williams, Mays, DiMaggio, etc.

Good God I hate The Polar Express.  Should be A Christmas Story v. Christmas Vacation for the final.

Scrooged is a tough ten seed for Jimmy Stewart.  Get some officials that prefer snark to saccharine and my guess is Bill Murray is getting all the calls and might even take out Bad Santa in the round of 8.  

I have a soft spot for the Muppets Christmas Carol.  Kids love it and we watch it every Christmas season.

It's Wonderful Life for the win.

One of my personal favorite parts is when they are drying off after being in the river.  Clarence tells 'em something to the fact of "we don't have money in heaven".  George replies with "Oh yeah, well it comes in pretty handy down here Bub".  LOL.

If Die Hard isn’t on the bracket, I’ll go with A Christmas Story. It’s an almost perfect movie. Every scene is iconic. It’s the US equivalent of A Christmas Carol. The final scene with the Old Man and Mrs. Parker drinking wine and watching the snow is a perfect scene.

The one where your mom does the starters on defense while wearing a Santa hat.

The Santa Claus as a 6 seed over Christmas Story as an 11 seed is fucking wild.

A 90s kid put this together. Hence Jingle All The Way being on the list at all and a better seed than A Christmas Story or Scrooged.  Live action Grinch over cartoon Grinch?

What crap ass committee put that together? The BCS computers would have done better!

Don't forget Jingle Balls and Eating Mrs. Claus' Cookie's.

At my house it is The Holiday followed by Die Hard on Christmas Day.  Neither one made the bracket.  I’ll stick with what we are watching.

Mack Brown obviously lobbied for Fred Claus to make the cut.

Is Nutcrackers on Hulu decent?

Ok I watched it. Wouldn’t put it in a bracket, but quite enjoyable and worth a watch on a non-football weekend.

Yeah, too bad Die Hard 2 sucks

It's the weakest of the three I recognize for sure but it's still good fun.  The idea of a snowmobile chase or even a snowmobile itself outside of Dulles airport like they are in the northern reaches of Wisconsin is hilarious though.

I actually forgot there was a fourth one. Good gravy that was bad.

Sir, The Night Before is fucking awesome. Michael Shannon is great as usual

Home Alone was a little fun assault. Home Alone 2 was straight attempted murder.

The bricks to the face scene still kills me. 

Until home alone, I never knew Illinois had such strong castle doctrine laws

I like to throw Gremlins into the Die Hard/is it a Christmas movie (it is) argument.

Absolutely. Hell Phoebe Cate’s dad dies playing Santa and getting stuck in a chimney and smelling up the joint.

There is no argument about Die Hard.   

bracket doesn't even include the best imo
