I want to start a debate of the best Christmas video presentations out there, not limited to feature film presentations. My intention is to gather up the various titles and have a bracket-style tournament next year between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. The categories and titles below are not set in stone, so please help me add to my lists! Also, I am limiting any series to just one entry. Then, next autumn, I’ll seed each bracket and find the best way to crowd vote for the best Christmas film of them all.
What am I missing here? Surely there’s another Black and White title that needs to be included! If not, I’ll need to fit these movies into other categories!
