I utterly failed at this and voted for...
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Batman Returns
Scrooged
All well and good until Films were abandoned for TV and I voted...
The Box of Delights
My So-Called Life (for the Christmas episode)
I then ran out of options before I could select the He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special.

It is, and to celebrate, The Penguin decides to murder all the first born sons of Gotham City. Happy Holidays! Though admittedly I usually fast-forward through those bits to get to Catwoman kicking arse. There really are no words to express how much I love Michelle Pfeiffer in this film. |

Indeed, Dame Michelle is beyond amazing in this film which is all very Tim Burton, gothic-Christmas. I watched it again at the weekend and marvelled at Ms Pfeiffer in it - I'm sure Tim Burton planned to make a spinoff Catwoman movie at the time starring her. Instead we got that thing with Halle Berry that genuinely made my eyes bleed. |

There was a script for a Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman film written and it was floating round the net for a while. It involved a whole town of oppressed women becoming Catwomen in a fit of righteous feminism with "proper" Catwoman at their head. The script heavily hints that Michelle Yeoh should play one of the women and had a fight with Michelle Pfeiffer - that would have been too amazing for words.
The Catwoman film that got made was eighteen colours of arse. I watched it with my jaw open at its awfulness. Making a unwatchable film that involved Halle Berry and Sharon Stone having an acrobatic cat fight is surely some kind of achievement. It was doomed the minute the scriptwriters wrote the words "poisoned face cream". And is it just me or does Benjamin Bratt look like he had his face reconstructed by surgeons after being horribly burnt?

I watching Home Alone 2: Lost in New York again yesterday. It is definately a contender for my favorite Christmas film. I was genuinely disapointed when I went to New York a couple years ago and discovered that Duncan's Toy Store does not actually exist. I do have a photo of me outside the Plaza Hotel though. I didn't want to go inside - I couldn't cope with the prospect of seeing a concierge who wasn't Tim Curry.
