I know Great American Family was trying to do a fun movie event with this; however, based on what I'm seeing on social media, it seems many fans are disappointed with the results, as I am. Some of the results feel more like a popularity contest, than what movie is actually best.
Personally, I love Great American Family and the scripture messages in the commercial breaks, but I think it's rather harsh to reveal the lineup of movies worst to best like this, from 18 to 1. I can only imagine those who came in last place must feel somewhat discouraged by their placement.
Yes, I do the It's a Wonderful Movie Awards each year, but I only reveal the top three favorites from each category. I never reveal which movie received the least votes, as I would never want to hurt the actors and writers involved.
I've seen many commenters say that Get Him Back for Christmas and Once Upon a Christmas Wish belonged at the top of the list, and I wholeheartedly agree.
Here's a sampling of comments I've seen...
"I can’t believe Get Him Back for Christmas is #17! What is wrong with you people!? That was the best movie of the season!! Unbelievable 😡" ~Nicole
"Loved your movies this year but totally disagree with rankings of best - Get him back was one of the best!!" ~Sharman
"I Heard the Bells should be #1! This movie was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen!!!" ~Vicki
"I think both "Get Him Back for Christmas" and "Once Upon a Christmas Wish" should be listed higher on the Countdown - I really enjoyed both movies! 🎄🎄" ~Donna
"Get him Back for Christmas should have been higher on the list. It was a cute movie and I love the PenaVegas!" ~Robi
"Don’t agree with order." ~Judy
"Get Him Back For Christmas and Once Upon a Christmas Wish should be at the top! Way to go Great American Family welcoming these new actors to your channel and placing their movies so low on the list. Let it Snow should not even be on it and others that are old that you all bought from streaming just to fill the spots each weekend." ~Holly
"I absolutely loved Get Him Back for Christmas - was in my top 5. So disappointed to see it at 17. Wow. Even the supporting cast was awesome" ~Angela
"Loved all the Christmas movies and loved the messages in them. Another great year. Thanks GAF! You do an Amazing job every year and I can't wait to see what's in store in the New Year & next Christmas!❤️" ~Mildred
"A little confused on these rankings so far! I’ve been watching GAF’s movies since year 1 and “Get Him Back for Christmas” was one of the best movies yet of any year. Surprised it’s not #1, being that it had the most engagement in the comments from any premiere this year." ~Maria
"Unreal that Get Him Back for Christmas was #17! This was by far the best movie in my opinion and the highest ranked movie on IMDB out of all the Great American Christmas movies this year." ~Michael
