Numero 1. movie resembling Pathfinder for me is Conan the Destroyer. Now hang in here with me. I know a lot of people thought the Arnie Conan sequel sucked. The movie puts together a traveling group looking for a Mcguffin. Its got monsters, wizards, and even PvP lol. My first Rogue was modeled after Malak from this movie.
Number 2-5 is on yall.

Not a fan of torture films.
Not a fan a torture period! Read Wizard's First Rule which contain torture in the middle of the book. When the second book came out and there was more torture at the beginning of the book than the first book, I dropped it like a hot potato.
Favorite Comic Film?
Blues Brothers
Favorite Nun?

I call Shenanigans. That is not a movie nun. The question still stands.

Wait? so we get to skip questions if we dont like them?
Doesn't that kinda defeat the entire purpose of this exercise?
No. The question was answered truthfully.

(Shrug) A guy asked for a movie, and you said "none" -- shenanigans in an of itself, regardless of veracity, because an injunction to "name one" is quite different from a yes/no question. On the other hand, you asked for a nun, and I gave you one; you never specified "a movie nun." So if my question is negated by your shenanigans call, then yours is as well, and we're back to torture porn. And I hate torture porn. So I say let's let some evasions slide!

I could argue shenanigans, since IaWL actually came out in the SUMMER of 1946 and didn't become a hit or really associated with Christmas until later... but it's way too late at night to worry about it.
In answer to your question, my next favorite Capra production is the LEGENDARY old-school "educational" film Hemo the Magnificent! This takes me wayyyy back to small-town elementary school.
Favorite movie gun (of the small arms variety)?

Oh I'm not saying Christmas doesn't happen in it, but so does World War II and I don't think most people would call IaWL a "WW2 movie." That the final scenes of the movie take place at Christmas isn't all that relevant to the plot; it's kind of a bookend framing device for the story of George's life told in flashback and seems like more of a coincidence than anything that Uncle Billy loses the Christmas deposit.
I was wrong about the film's release; it did come out in December 1946, after Technicolor couldn't finish Sinbad the Sailor in time for a December release, they pushed this movie ahead and released it in December 1946 (although the year shown on the film title card says 1947).
As to whether its creator, Frank Capra, who directed, produced, and cowrote the film (one of only two that his company Liberty Films ever released), intended it as a Christmas film, here's what wikipedia and Capra have to say:
The film's elevation to the status of a beloved classic came decades after its initial release, when it became a television staple during 1970s and 1980s Christmas seasons. This came as a welcome surprise to Frank Capra and others involved with its production. "It's the damnedest thing I've ever seen," Capra told the Wall Street Journal in 1984. "The film has a life of its own now, and I can look at it like I had nothing to do with it. I'm like a parent whose kid grows up to be president. I'm proud... but it's the kid who did the work. I didn't even think of it as a Christmas story when I first ran across it. I just liked the idea."[47] In a 1946 interview, Capra described the film's theme as "the individual's belief in himself" and that he made it "to combat a modern trend toward atheism".[47]"
