Hey Seb, do you think we can get our english speaking friends to watch Nez Rouge ?  It has english sub-titles.

That'd be a nice achievement. I'm all for it!

I do something similar to the first choice every year... What I do is my 25 Days of Christmas Marathon... because in my view once Christmas day is over... it is over for me. And I watch at least 1 Movie/TV Show Episode/Special per day till Christmas day... but I never get numbers as high as I do for Halloween as I don't have as many Christmas shows as I do Horror Movies 

So that is how I will be doing it... just like I do every year.

To anyone who has just joined us from the link I posted at Invelos here is the link to the thread where you will post you list of watched/watching movies. http://www.dvdcollectorsonline.com/index.php/topic,551.0.html

This thread is for discussing them (and for Richie to  us when we get behind  )

I don't think I'll be joining this one.  I was never really a fan of Christmas movies so I only have one and my budget doesn't allow me to buy 30 DVD's right now.

I do not have many Christmas movies either. This is why I will join Full Christmas Marathon (B):
Watch 31 films or tv episodes beginning, or ending, with the following letters;
D V D C O L L E C T O R S O N L I N E X M A S M A R A T H O N

I don't have all that many Christmas movies either (though I do have a lot more then one)... but I have enough Christmas episodes of TV Series to get me through every day of the month if I wanted to!  So maybe you have enough with TV Show episodes?

Or just use some extremely imaginative linking to achieve the full or even the half marathon - any actor/actresses in a film called Noel/Holly,Ivy etc etc, films set around christmas, titles of 25 or 25th, it should get your imaginative juices flowing to see how obscure the link can be

That's the one I'll be doing too, and I'll slip as many "real" christmas movie in there as I can.

I have just started filling my list. It is harder than I thought. Too many choices 

[RossRoy]

I don't know what you all use to select your titles for this marathon, but I've decided to use Tom's CCViewer, as I did previously. It's really great, you should take a look.

By the way, Tom, is it possible that there is a bug in the import function, especially regarding Collection Numbers?

I've reassigned quite a few collection numbers recently in DVD Profiler, but your CCViewer, even after reimporting the XML data, doesn't seem to update the collection number correctly. I have quite a few numbers that don't match anymore, even after reimporting the same XML file a few times. It reflects correctly on my phpdvdprofiler site, but not in CCViewer. For example, online, Berserk: 6.God's Hand has a collection number of 1246, but in CCViewer it doesn't have any, which was the case before I did some reassignments.

Could it be, that you have "Settings->Auto-lock quick edits" enabled and did edit the collection number on tab "Details"? When you right-click there on the collection number, does it show up as locked?

This one's an easy one for me. I have a Christmas tag. When I filter using it the result is 45 movies.  (Of course this counts Die Hard and Die Hard II )
