    Bro my grandmother was the exact same, she dragged us to some polar express experience when I was like 10, and I was stuck in my footie pajamas on train for like 4 hours in the freezing cold.

    I still have to do this day, a christmas ornament that is just a silver bell, she fuckin adored that movie.

    The town near here has a steam engine and they do a polar express thing every year. It makes me want to burn it off the face of the earth.

    Can’t we have a Hogwarts Express for the Holidays? I saw that last Christmas and I thought that was a nice take on it. They had a snowy Hogsmeade too.

    It's A Wonderful Life, because when you sit down and actually think about the plot, you realize it's a terrible depressing piece of shit.

    And this...ladies and gentlemen...is why DR works for the government.

    I can feel the cynicism through my computer screen.

    As far as I'm concerned the answer is all of them.

    There's always bells and shitty Christmas songs and someone is always Santa's daughter, yuck.

    I like it when the story is a normal one that's just happened to be set during christmas.

    My cynicism and my service have nothing to do with that movie truly sucking hard.

    The movie is only depressing if you fail to learn the lesson it taught.

    I can't tolerate the Polar Express slander in this thread.

    Polar Express sucks to begin with, and then you realize the really annoying kid is basically how you imagine Ben Shapiro as a child.

    My sister and I have a Christmas tradition which involves finding the trashiest hallmark Christmas offering of the year, breaking out mums sloe gin and doing shots everytime one of our clichés are met.

    Our cliché list has gotten so extensive that it's a struggle to finish the movie.
