50 Movies. 25 Days. It's the December Holiday Movie Challenge

I enjoyed myself so much with the horror movie challenge last month. I was number 26 with only 30 movies but still it was a load of fun.

I thought perhaps we should try it again with Christmas / Holiday movies. I have lowered the list from 100 to 50 but you are still able to shoot for as many as you want.

Now, with this one I know it will be much more difficult because there aren't that many Christmas / Holiday movies out there.

Here are the Official Rules:

Official Rules

-All Movies Must Be Watched Between 12:00AM on December 1st Through the End of December 25th (a.k.a. 12:01AM on December 26th)
-No Movies Will Be Accepted Before December 1st or After December 25th
-You ARE ALLOWED to Watch Christmas Specials. Such as: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, The Year Without a Santa Claus, etc.
-You Are NOT ALLOWED to Watch Christmas Episodes from a TV Series. However, IF the TV show has a special that runs longer than a regular episode, such as: The He-Man She-Ra Christmas Special or The Flintstones Save Christmas, Then Those Are Allowed
-You ARE ALLOWED to Watch Thanksgiving or New Years Movies. Any Movie That Takes Place During the "Holiday" Season Are Allowed.
-The Film DOES NOT Have to Be Holiday Oriented. You Can Watch Movies That Take Place During the "Holiday" Season. Such as: Die Hard, Batman Returns, Gremlins, Etc.
-The Whole Movie or At Least Most of the Movie MUST Take Place During the "Holiday" Season. A Movie With One or Two Scenes Does NOT Count.
-A Movie May Only Be Watched ONCE. However, You CAN Watch a Movie, Then Watched It Again with a Commentary and Count it TWICE
-Don't Limit Yourself to DVDs. You Can Count Movies Seen in the Theater or on VHS
-The Most IMPORTANT Thing is To Have Fun With This!


I hope this is just as good as the horror movie challenge.
