Thanks for that David. Duly voted. I'm surprised at the order so far. I would have thought Holiday Inn deserved a place or two above White Christmas!

There are other interesting categories of film to vote in, but alas no others with any reference to Bing.

Re: CLASSIC CHRISTMAS MOVIE POLL

I remember when I was little in the 1980s, HOLIDAY INN was always shown at the holidays and WHITE CHRISTMAS was never seen. I believe in the time there was some fight over royalties but I am not sure. Fast forward to 2010, and I have not seen HOLIDAY INN on the tele yet. However, WHITE CHRISTMAS was on tv last night...two times in a row.

I like both movies, but I prefer HOLIDAY INN. I voted for HOLIDAY INN on that poll.

Re: CLASSIC CHRISTMAS MOVIE POLL

I'm also voting for 'Holiday Inn'.  Easily the best because of the storyline, and especially now we can watch it in colour!.   I always felt that a lot of the entertainment basics, not least narrative, were forgotten because the producers were dazzled by their VistaVision and felt they couldn't go wrong with their star line-up.  I rarely watch 'White Christmas' and, when I do I'm disappointed.  'Holiday Inn' I always watch around Christmas time.  (I hope you and your family are well, David,and that you have an enjoyable Christmas - I'll email you personally soon.)


Devotee of 'the art that conceals art' which of course Bing epitomised.

Re: CLASSIC CHRISTMAS MOVIE POLL

On Sunday AMC showed 'White Christmas' followed by 'Holiday Inn'.
Don't know if they showed the colourised version or the b & w one.

Re: CLASSIC CHRISTMAS MOVIE POLL

My vote was for HOLIDAY INN. Like John Walton, my recent reactions to WHITE CHRISTMAS are mostly disappointing.
