    LAMBracket: Best Christmas Movie Round 1-3 Results

    So far in round 1 things have gone as expected, with the higher seeded films knocking out the lower ones, but today proves that the Rotten Tomatoes scoring method doesn’t necessarily coincide with how everyone thinks. Gremlins, the third seed in the Genre group, has successfully defeated Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, the first time a play-off winner has taken out a film that automatically found itself in the bracket proper. Congratulations to...

    LAMBracket: Best Christmas Movie Round 1-2 Results

    Yesterday Arthur Christmas got easily knocked out by It’s A Wonderful Life, but today’s results were far closer, with Elf taking on The Nightmare Before Christmas. It was a real nail-biter on Facebook, with just one vote in it at the end of the poll, but over on the other social media sites Nightmare took it with a little more leeway, allowing Jack Skellington to skip his way off into the next...

    LAMBracket: Best Christmas Movie Round 1-1 Results

    The bracket proper has begun, and some LAMB favourites have already been knocked out. The first match saw the underdog Arthur Christmas face off against the might of It’s A Wonderful Life and, given how Arthur only barely defeated The Polar Express in the play-offs it shouldn’t be much of a surprise to hear that Clarence didn’t go around granting any wishes for Arthur and the Santa family today. Here are the full...

    LAMBracket: Best Christmas Movie Play-Off #6 Results

    Play-off #6 was the second in the Family group, with Home Alone fighting its own sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Kevin McAllister won, obviously, but it was in his home venue of Chicago rather than the Big Apple, so the original moves onto the next round. Here are the full results:

    Final results:
