I'll vote for # 1 Home Alone over # 16 The Night Before, partly because I'm not sure I know what movie that is. No Cinderella upset in the 1/16 game for me.
My vote for the 8/9 match up is # 9, The Grinch over # 8 The Polar Express, but that one was enormously difficult for me. Daughter was an actor in The Polar Express train ride show in New Orleans one year and it holds a special place in my heart.
At the end of Friday, December 13 we'll tally up the votes to see who advances. Next voting will be Monday on the other side of the bracket.

The Friday one will be open until Sunday midnight in case anyone wants to vote over the weekend, but the Monday thru Thursday ones will be just that day...

Home alone for sure - and I'm torn on the 8/9. If it was the OG Grinch, then not close. Since it's this one... Polar Express...
Home Alone and Polar Express.
I'm with Jeep, had the Grinch been the classic version, then it's a different story.
Home alone. A classic
Polar Express. A must watch for our family now.
Also a modern classic and will be hard pressed to beat imo.
Heck, Aerosmith Elves even rocked the ending!

Nope... Gotta do it per the rules! Only 2 games on the agenda today. Never know, you may have a player get sick, suspended, or an actor have a hangover!Originally Posted by VirginiaCat
Next 2 Monday...
Home Alone.
Grinch (though the original not being on here is a travesty by the Committee. Seriously, Jim Carey over Chuck Jones???? The original may be the only sappy Xmas movie I can sit through lol)
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.
Winners of the Friday matchup are in.
1 Seed Home Alone dispatched 16 seed The Night before, 12-0.
In a slight upset, 9 seed The Grinch defeated 8 seed The Polar Express, 7-5.
Monday's matchup is 2 seed Elf vs 15 seed Four Christmases.

In Monday's 2 Elf v 15 Four Christmases matchup, I'm going for the 15 over 2 upset. Wasn't as big an Elf fan as others, but Four Christmases, I thought was extremely funny. Give me Four Christmases in the upset.
For Tuesday's 7 A Charlie Brown Christmas v 10 Jingle All the Way, I have to plead ignorance, as I don't think I've seen Jingle All the Way. Nonetheless, I have seen A Charlie Brown Christmas, feel like it was underseeded, and would go with chalk here and 7 over 10.
A Charlie Brown Christmas pick for me for Tuesday's picks.
With the new picks added for Tuesday as well:
# 4 seed Bad Santa over 13 Office Christmas Party
# 5 seed It's a Wonderful Life over # 12 seed Scrooged
# 3 seed Christmas Vacation (really like this pick) over # 14 Fred Claus
# 11 seed A Christmas Story over 6 seed The Santa Clause
Summary of my 6 picks:
2 v 15 (Elf/Four Christmases) - Four Christmases
3/14 (Christmas Vacation/Fred Claus) - Christmas Vacation
4/13 (Bad Santa/Office Christmas) - Bad Santa
5/12 (Wonderful Life/Scrooged) - It's a Wonderful Life
6/11 (Santa Clause/Christmas Story) - A Christmas Story
7/10 (Charlie Brown/Jingle) - A Charlie Brown Christmas

Charlie Brown Christmas
Surprised about Polar Express losing to the Grinch. Only one of those two will be a classic fifty years from now imo. The other will
be redone at some point.
Likewise Elf and CB will endure.
