Congratulations to our new King of Xmas, Papa Noel.....Jolly Old St. Nik!

Nikuman lurked in the background and racked up an impressive 630 points by watching a heck of a lot of xmas movies in the process. He will reign supreme until next year, when we will again revisit the themes and tones of Celluloid Xmas.

Thanks to all for participating and I hope you enjoyed yourselves. More importantly, I hope you were able to sit down with the fam and enjoy some of these flicks together.

Tonight I enter into my rest, knowing that we have had a fun month and pondering the famous words penned by the late Clement Clarke Moore:

....But I heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight
Nik is the champ
And to ALL a good night!

[PaloAltoCougar]

A superb contest, despite the unfortunate genuflect to youth and disregard for films released prior to 1930 (this talkie thing will pass). A major to DDD for all the work, and for elevating the Christmas spirit in the PAC household, which is redlining at the moment. Merry Christmas to all.

[Pheidippides]

A hearty thanks to DDD for putting this together, this time with a genre that doesn't have me soiling myself. I would like to thank the long boring drive from Texas, Netflix, and bittorrent.

[CJF]

Thanks, DDD. That had to have been a lot of work. It sure was fun. I look forward to beating the crap out of Jolly Old St. Nik next year!

[wuapinmon]

DDD, we watched a bunch of movies together because of this thread. Even though I only sent you one answer, thanks for this.

wow I should have submitted the last 3 days! I got caught up in non interweb activity that last week.

EDIT: Ouch make that the last 4 days

I definitely did not appropriate my time in the most efficient manner on this one. I could have probably taken 2nd just by watching It's a Wonderful Life. Doh!

I'm not sure. Ask DDD how complicated my answer re time of contemplation of suicide was.

That was a total airball on my part. I watched the movie, and then rewatched the sequence just preceding him standing on the bridge, looking for a brief glimpse of a wall clock at Martini's or perhaps a wristwatch. DDD was kind enough, after the fact, to point out the specific time is mentioned at the very beginning of the movie (confirmed when I went back and watched that part, albeit too late). Unfortunately, at my age the short-term memory banks get flushed every few minutes, so I didn't recall that rather obvious indicator.

Yeah, I airballed it too for the same reason, instead using a clock in Potter's office and some crazy deductions to arrive at the time of 9:03 pm.
