And the winner is Mama Mia with the loathsome Polar Express. Congratulations, Mama Mia, you get to choose Monday's question.

I despise The Polar Express. All my children think the eyes and mannerisms are just flat out creepy. And we can’t get over Tom Hanks.

Yeah. Some people try to write-off its creepiness due to the fact that it was made on the front end of CGI filmaking but that's not the problem - Toy Story wasn't saddled with the same dilemma. No, its just a weird story with disturbing, unlikable characters and zero charm...and crap CGI.

Fun fact: You can find a major flaw in the elf scene where one of the elves has no legs. Don't bother watching it again though, just take my word for it.

You couldn't pay to me to watch this nightmarish freakshow ever again. I'll gladly take your word for it.

YEESSSS! You beat me to it! WHYYY does every single person in every single social setting EXCEPT ME love this movie?! idk what it is.... no. who am I kidding? I know what it is. It's WHO it is. Will Farrell is just the worst, to me. Very few movies with him that I like.

I'll have to pick a different movie now haha

Well, I did it again. I replied. But, in my mind :/

Are entire series acceptable? If so, I nominate the Oceans 11 series *gag*

The Breakfast Club. I struggled through it once. Have no idea why so many people seem to think it is profound, or even funny.

Milo and Otis! SOOOO boring I could not keep watching it, not even when I had little kids.

Keeping with the Christmas theme, Love Actually. A film that celebrates the immorality Jesus came to save us from. (I distinguish this from a film like Bad Santa that intentionally contrasts its characters with the true meaning of the Season. Love Actually actually thinks it's about "love", but it isn't.)

Dumb & Dumber (to include all of them).

I cannot, cannot, cannot stand this movie. (is it Christmas themed, actually).

Anyway, it's over-the-top toilet humor & It far exceeds my cap.

Oh boy. Have you seen it more than once? We can still be friends, but I’m intrigued. Why? Why, Shannon? WHY?!!!

No, I could barely get through it the first time. Why would I put myself through that twice?! It doesn’t seem like an acquired taste. 😂

It's one of those movies that were soooo awesome when we were impressionable kids that we have a nostalgic appreciation of it that will probably last forever. Were I to watch it now I doubt I could enjoy it as much as I used to. The quotes however are timeless.

I still say, "It's just a flesh wound." Can we still be friends?!
