What s Wisconsin s favorite Christmas movie? It depends on the data-crunching Chris Foran, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
So, is Wisconsin Team George or Team Kevin?
A sleighful of surveys have surfaced calculating which Christmas movies are most popular in which states. Maybe it s another sign of how divided Wisconsin is, but they don t agree on the Badger State s favorite. It s a Wonderful Life. To make its pick, the site mined data from Google and Rotten Tomatoes, the movie-review aggregator.
They won t get any argument from Comparitech, a website that evaluates search engines and other tech stuff. Comparitech also says the 1946 classic about small-town banker George Bailey (James Stewart) wishing on Christmas Eve that he d never been born is Wisconsin s No. 1 Christmas movie. The site did its ciphering using Google Trends and searching for the top 50 Christmas films on IMDb.com, Internet Movie Database.
