There’s a new feature coming to the LAMB! In a bid to increase the site’s interactive nature, we’re going to try and determine the BEST of things by means of a bracket, voted on by you, the glorious LAMB members and visitors, and we’re kicking things off with a festive fight to figure out the greatest Christmas movie! The one-on-one bracket battle will begin in December, with each day seeing a new clash until one victorious film remains, but for now I’m on the lookout for LAMB members who want to champion a film to the finish.
All you’d need to do is write a paragraph or two by the end of November on why you think your chosen film deserves to be crowned the greatest Christmas movie. Sign up as quickly as you can, as spaces are limited and each film can only be taken by one LAMB member, and in the process of asking around about this feature some have already been picked, but there are many, many other films you can choose instead. To sign up, either leave a note in the comments, email me on thelambcast(at)gmail.com or find me on Twitter @LambThe.
The films that have already been picked are listed below, with their champions. Good luck!
