Friday Funday Trivia: Christmastime Movies


 

For the final FFT of 2012, I've included 3 montages containing 15 photos of  movies set during Christmastime. You have to correctly identify the movie. 

To enlarge the montages, click on them.  Below the montages are the point values for each photo (40 pts total). Along with the values for each photo, there are 3 bonus questions as well totaling 10 pts.
 
If you are a Friday Funday Trivia virgin about to be touched for the very first time, please read the following rules before playing:


* The game is pub style so looking up the answers, using friends/family/co-workers, etc. for help,  is not allowed.

If you are the only player to correctly identify a photo/photo set, you earn 5 bonus points. The first player to submit theirfinalanswers to me will earn 2 bonus points.

* Please do not post your answers in the comments section. Instead, send them to ultfan@gmail.com no later than Sunday night (12/16) at 11:59 PM EST. The answers will be posted on Monday, December 17th.

Not an official rule: If you have no clue, feel free to come up with an intentionally funny answer. Although you won't get credit for a correct answer, you'll get a thumbs up from me for originality, execution, and showmanship. What can I say, I love to be entertained and I'll take it any way I can get it!

By the way, if you missed last year's Christmas-related FFT, you can find it here:
