Someone should do Nightmare Before Christmas!! I think it could be very fitting for Lost. THey even say Jack a number of times in the trailer.

We'll be getting back to all of you ASAP on all of the movies in question!

Yeah; we'll get back to you guys soon.

But remember that a movie, or trailer, that has a Christmas scene in it doesn't necessarily mean it's a Christmas movie. Like Santa Clause 1, 2, 3, The Grinch and Nightmare before Christmas are definite Christmas movies but I personally don't classify the Holiday as one. I've seen it a few times and to me it's more about these two women trying to sort out their guy issues at Christmas time rather than a Christmas theme, if you know what I mean?

But that's my opinion

I really want to do It's A Wonderful Life, but there are no original trailers available. Can I do my own with audio from the movie?

We chatted and all movies that have been asked about so far are A-OK for the contest

So Karowyn, I'll change your vid info so it has the Comp info in it and Amanda, Family Man is cool, too

I love that movie

And thank you Emma and Karowyn for the extra sources

No, sorry Mandi. If you'll look at the rules:

Quote:

Must use the original trailer as it is when you download it. Do not BASE a video on a trailer; re-create the actual trailer for Lost.

We want the trailer as is

So if you can find one; Awesome:)

but if not; best to pick another one

Bad Santa would be hilarious as a Lost trailer;)

The list has now been updated

Can I claim "The Nightmare Before Christmas"?

I didn't realize it was from 1993! That was the year I was born! Though I do remember my mum saying I was scared of it when I was younger. lol

Okay, so I didn't know this before I picked it, but the Love Actually trailer sucks!!

It just seems a little too hard for me, and there's too much "from the makers of all the British movies you love" crap at the beginning, so I think I'm gonna rescind Love Actually - someone else can do it if they want!!

However, I did find this trailer for The Ice Harvest (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c79x6Et87E), which is a funny crime caper takes place at Christmas, but I'm not sure if it fits in with the theme. I've seen the movie and even though Christmas isn't the main theme of the film, it's still a really big element and they keep making references to it, and it plays a fairly big role in the movie.

I think I need the CM vote on this (please?

). I'll take this if it's okay with you guys, but if not, I'll look into something else

Thanks!!

I'll pass that along to the Others (oooooo

) and we'll get back to you ASAP, Abby!

Though I suggest going ahead and scouting about for a different one, just in case, so you won't be all stalled waiting for us to look into this.

We'll have a look at it but we're really wanting it to be a quote/unquote genuine Christmas movie as much as humanly possible as opposed to just a movie that has Christmas in it.
