Time is up, and the results are in for my little Christmas Quiz! Thank you to everyone that entered, I had a really good response and people seemed to enjoy it. Please read on to see who won, and for all the answers.
First of all, I do have to make an apology, as a mistake slipped through the net, but was quickly pointed out by a couple of people. One of the movies wasn’t actually a Christmas related film, and was actually a Thanksgiving time story, so please accept my apologies for Planes, Trains & Automobiles.
On to the good stuff now, and I’ll just post the top 3. You will be able to see all the answers below to work out your own score if you’re not listed here, or ask me in the comments if you don’t mind your score being announced. Whilst some of you answered these off the top of your head with no googling, I know others checked around on IMDB etc. As I didn’t specify, and can’t monitor it, some have done better than others. So to those that did it all from memory, congratulations and I appreciate your effort. To those that were more crafty, next time I’ll make a quiz to try and avoid it. But nothing wrong with doing it this time, so there are no complaints from me
In joint 1st position is Fernando & Bubbawheat with an amazing 24 out of 25! Funnily enough you both fell for the same sneaky trap by answering Die Hard when the answer was actually Die Hard 2! So close! In second place was Kate with 23 out of 25, who also fell for the Die Hard 2 trap, as well as the Rocky one, it was Rocky IV not V! Again, fine margins. And in third place getting himself on the podium was my Scottish brother Mark Walker with an excellent 21 out of 25.
I do admit, I tried to be quite sneaky with the posters (or a tricky bastard as someone called me!) but I hope you all had fun. Here are the answers now, and if you have any disputes with the scores please let me know. Thanks for playing!

Can’t Get More Diverse Than This Little List, That’s A BIG Fo SHO! hahaha
I had to try and mix things up a little dude!
Next quiz I do, I will harrass you until you enter! I will even put a Krull option in for you
This Sounds Fair
You’ve Got A Deal!!! hahaha
Lol, good man, Fo Sho!!
Whaey! 3rd place will do me fine. I didn’t expect to get that close. A fine display from Celtic once again. Bring on a double header with Juventus now
Cheers Mark, well played sir!
Juventus are the draw specialists, should be close!
That was fun. Without cheating by using Google etc I got only 13. Threw in some sequel curve balls. As I pointed out the Bing Crosby version of White Christmas was done first in Holiday Inn. Now that would have been a reel flip. I put a still of Its a Wonderful Life as my Facebook cover photo. Merry Christmas all.
You did well my friend. Thanks for playing and merry Christmas to you!!
Good one, Captain!!
Cheers matey
That’s a great list! I got like 14 or so, which is definitely less than I was hoping but I did do most of them from memory. There were quite a few there from before my time, so I’m going to blame that for my ‘average’ score.
Thanks buddy, you did well without googling! Cheers for playing, much appreciated
Since when was Charlie Brown a movie? I love Charile and have been watching the show since it first showed up on TV when I was a whole lot younger than I am now, but it ain’t no movie. If you’re gonna include TV shows, why not Frosty and Rudolf too? Or taped concerts from the Boston Pops to St. Olaf’s in Norway? Or the many variation on the Nutcracker? Or the Christmas edition of every major TV series every made in the US or UK? Geez. “The Bishop’s Wife” (either version)? And most blatently missing — “A Christmas Story” … our all time favorite fun holiday movie. I think there’s a Christmas Star Trek or three. Nice you included “Three Godfathers,” one of Garry’s faves. I’m not objecting to inclusion of everything including the kitchen sink, but as soon as I saw Charlie Brown, I sort of felt like we were getting a tad loosy goosy with the concept of “Christmas movies.” Meanwhile, the wild strawberries in our garden think it’s spring and are actually blooming. On Christmas eve? Yikes, the world is upside down.
It’s my quiz
Charlie Brown was one of the most chosen on my recent favourite Christmas movie poll, that’s why it was in there!
I actually chose Three Godfathers as homage to Garry as he said he was watching it. That’s how nice nice I am.
Thanks Marilyn
It IS your quiz, Mate — but don’t mess with my Wife!! Thanks for the “Three Godfathers” homage. And, once again, from all the Mavens in our house to all the Mavens in your home, the Merriest of Christmases!! You’ve been a bright addition to this year for me!!
You’ll do, Pilgrim!!
Garry
Haha, I would never dream of messing with her! Meeting you two has been one of my blogging highlights, and I look forward to plenty more chat with you!
Cheers Garry!
Merry Christmas, my friend!
And to you buddy
Great fun! Still think you should of given half points for my answers like ‘a rocky film’ it’s partly right! Lol
Lol I gave you lots of half points but you still didn’t win
Interesting and, yes, very diverse list!! Surprised Ralphie didn’t make it!! A BIG Merry Christmas to one and all!!
Cheers Garry, merry Christmas to you too
Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night!!
Thank you, and to you!!
I didn’t win so I hate you…
haha Merry Christmas
That’s fair enough LOL
Merry Christmas dude!
Yay. I finally won something! Merry Christmas “Tyson”, you tricky bastard
Haha, cheers and congratulations Fernando!!! #winning
Ah, sneaky!
Congratulations to the winners. As you already know, I had a little bit too much fun playing along! Hee hee!
I know, had to be a little sneaky though!! Thanks again for playing
