Here's my list for the December marathon. I'm doing a slightly modified version of the B marathon. All movies fall within the guidelines, except "The Polar Express", which I couldn't fit without removing one of the «real» Christmas movies, and I have so few, so I entered it as the X.

Rating scale
1/5 = Awful
2/5 = OK, I guess
3/5 = Good
4/5 = Very good
5/5 = Fabulous

I'm just going to use red and green since most of these I have seen before. If it is something new I'll use bold to differentiate it from the rest

I'm also going to try to do a little better rating these. Seems as though I'm too generous. I figure if I define the ratings it will help me get the right one. Here is the scale I'll be using:

1 - One of the worst movies I’ve seen EVER. I would do everything in my power to make sure nobody sees it
2 - One of the worst movies I've seen in a while. You've been warned.
3 - Did not like it but I can see where there may be someone out there who would.
4 - Not good but has at least one redeaming quality. If you like the genre you may like it.
5 - Not good, not bad.
6 - Generally recommended for overall entertainment value
7 - I recommend it and think it's good
8 - Strongly recommended
9 - Now this is a movie!
10  - One of the best movies I have even seen!



ITEM  TITLEDATERATING
  1 Hot Rod  1st   4
  2 Elf  2nd   8
  3 Boys Town  2nd   6
  4 Die Hard  4th   7

Not so good. I'm burnt out. :surrender: I only really have a chance of the 12 linked to Christmas, but the links are going to have to be pretty drastic!

It's not going as well as I would like, but I don't need to stress, since I'm going on Vacation starting Dec 21st, so no worries! I should be able to catch up then  ;D
