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.)

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.
