    The Movie of the Month for January 2019 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    It’s almost a tradition at this point that January’s Movie of the Month winner is a film that’s, for some reason or another, deemed not great by most people. There have been exceptions, but just like with American cinemas January could be seen as a kind of dumping ground for films people don’t necessarily want to watch. Not so for January 2019! This...

    LAMBracket: Best Christmas Movie Final Results!

    The further this tournament has gone, the closer the results have been, but this has gotten ridiculous. The final results, between Die Hard and The Muppet Christmas Carol, were separated by just five votes. Richard and Simon both campaigned heavily, and some other LAMB members got involved too across Twitter and Facebook (due to an emergency and a technical issue the final could not be posted on Instagram), but of course...

    LAMBracket: Best Christmas Movie – THE FINAL

    From December 1st until Christmas Eve, here on the LAMB, we’ll be determining what is the BEST Christmas movie of all time. We’ve asked you all which films are the main contenders, and twenty-four of you replied with your choices, which will bauble battle it out for seasonal supremacy. It’s a head-to-head, single elimination tournament, so whichever film wins today moves onto the next round. However, here is not...

    LAMBracket: Best Christmas Movie Semi-Final 2 Results

    It was another close semi-final, this time between Home Alone and The Muppet Christmas Carol, but this time Kevin McCallister tried one trick too many, failing to impale Fozzie with a nail in the foot, hit Sam the Eagle in the face with a paint can, light the Swedish Chef’s hat on fire or cover Gonzo with glue and feathers (although something tells me he’d be into that). No, the Muppets took this one, so...

    LAMBracket: Best Christmas Movie Semi-Final 1 Results

    Oh, boy. It’s A Wonderful Life versus Die Hard. Potentially the greatest classic, traditional Christmas movie, facing off against the film at the centre of it’s own social media tradition debating whether or not it should even be in this discussion, but which many believe to be one of the greatest of all movies. However this turns out, people are going to be upset, and given that this poll received the most votes...

    The winner of the Genre group has been decided, and frankly it isn’t much of a surprise. As great as Gremlins is, it didn’t take much for John McClane to trap it in a cinema and blow it up, welcoming Die Hard to the Semi-Final party, pal. Here are the full results:
