50 classic Christmas movies, only 1 winner. It’s been done a million times before, but never by us! Yes, it’s the CineChat Greatest Christmas Movie tournament 2019!
Over on our Facebook Page we will be running a series of polls, starting Monday 25th November with the final poll going live on December 20th and the winner announced in time for Christmas (hopefully!). Each poll will involve 5 movies from the groups shown in the image below, with 10 movies from each group moving onto the semi-final. From each semi-final, 3 movies will move onto the final, which will consist of 6 movies. Progress will be updated on this page following each round of voting with the winners highlighted in red.
There’s only one way to make sure your favourite doesn’t miss out on the top spot, so make sure you either follow or like CineChat on Facebook and get voting!

Web developer by day, with a movie and TV watchlist that continues to grow as much as my spare time reduces! My favourite movie is Inception and, despite what everyone says, I do not have a man-crush on Tom Cruise.
