Considering doing a Super Colossal Christmas Tournament if there seems to be enough interest. Hope to start the tournament the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Brackets being Considered (but open to suggestions)
Theatrical Releases Drama (Maybe two brackets, one for films released prior to 1970, one for those after 1970)
Theatrical Release Comedy (Family Friendly - again maybe two brackets)
Theatrical Release Comedy (Adult Humor)
Christmas Horror Films
Adaptations of A Christmas Carol (This catagory will be both theatrical and those produced for TV)
TV animated Christmas Specials (A Charlie Brown Christmas, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Rudolph, Frosty, ect.)
Hallmark Channel Christmas Movies (Tanya or anyone else who ODs on these could you please make a bracket of 16 of your favorites seeded 1 through 16)
Other made for TV Christmas Films
Christmas Episodes of television series
Doctor Who Christmas/New Year's Specials

Then I guess there is no need for a tournament. Thanks for saving me from a lot of work.

Random suggestion... "Christmas movies" that aren't really *about* Christmas and/or aren't known for being Christmas movies?

Batman Returns
Carol
Catch Me If You Can
Die Hard
Eyes Wide Shut
Gremlins
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Trading Places

... etc.

Ryan Reynolds is my spirit animal.

Die Hard and Christmas Vacation are on my watch list, every year.

Really, when it comes to Thanksgiving and Christmas, I love watching my favorite TV show specials for both those holidays. Would be interesting to see a bracket for best holiday episode from a TV show.

It's a Thanksgiving movie but it would be great if Planes, Trains, and Automobiles could be worked into the bracket.

Good idea for a bracket of its own, Rocky and even Patton (Battle of the Bulge) would also fit.. Die Hard and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang maybe a Action/Thriller bracket if there are enough films. Gremlins will be part of the Christmas Horror bracket.

Are there enough theatrical release Rom/Coms for a bracket of its own? A Hallmark Channel bracket is a given, well as long as someone starts suggesting some as I have never watched a single one.

I would say yes just because I want to see Just Friends win that bracket handily.

CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

30 Rock seasons 2 (Ludachristmas) and 3 (Christmas Special) Christmas Episodes are strong contenders.

The first time I watched this was one of the hardest I've ever laughed, and maybe the biggest "WTF?!" I'd ever had
