    I'm not going to lie, I expected this to go on a bit longer before we reached a conclusion

    That's another debate in itself - Home Alone or Home Alone 2?

    I'm more of a fan of the first Home Alone. No arguments with Elf and Jingle All The Way apart from your top 3 being a top 4

    yeah its purely a childhood nostalgic pick. My Cocaine is excellent in it, just plays the character as if he is acting with real humans instead of muppets.

    Yeah my nostalgia pick is Jingle All The Way because on paper it sounds terrible Arnie chasing a toy the whole movie but it's just pure Christmas vibes.

    Wanted a Turbo man as a kid so much:(

    So what constitutes a Xmas movie for you, if not just one set at Xmas time?
