I don't understand the draw of Doctor Who. I tried to watch it and I just couldn't get into it. It's a little too out there for my taste.

I couldn't either. Not that it's out there. I just found it dull and not having any background could not jump in.

Blasphemy!!!!

If you start from the reboot (9th Doctor) it is easier to get into it than starting from the old ones.

We did.  Still couldn't get into it.  And I thought I would since the actor played Barty Crouch, Jr in Harry Potter.

I don't understand the obsession with kids (especially girls) being labeled as royalty (princess, prince). I especially dislike it written on clothes.

I agree about the clothes.  As for people calling their kids princess or prince...eh...doesn't bother me.

I sort of get you.. I watched the ones with the 11th doctor.  They are ok, but not my thing.  I now know enough to fudge my way through DR who conversations, but I am not watching any more.  

(This is coming from the star wars, x-files, game of thrones, all other pop culture things person.)

I started watching Doctor Who with the reboot (ninth Doctor)

because my sister insisted. We binged most of that season over thanksgiving weekend. I remember thinking I didn't understand why she liked it - it was weird, disjointed, dull. But somehow by the end of the weekend I was hooked. It definitely had to grow on me.

A lot of people I know suggest starting with the 10th doctor, David Tennant, but I'm glad I started with nine.

That said, it's no Firefly.

[kaydee0402]

They have Supernatural on Netflix. I want to start it. It seems like something I would be into.

Me too. It's silly.

My husband understands that if given the chance.. I will leave him for Nathan Fillion.  Our dog is named Zoey for this Zoey and Kayleigh was on our list of names as was Malcolm for a boy.

I have it in my queue to start watching again. Loved the early seasons and then got to busy to watch.

I've never seen its a wonderful life

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

I've never heard of doctor who

[cougarette]

I don't think It's a Wonderful Life should be considered a Christmas movie. Neither should Meet Me in St. Louis.

But how do you feel about Nightmare Before Christmas? Gremlins?

[seamonster]

Unpopular with my child is sleeping for more than 45 minutes.

I've never seen those. But if they happen to randomly have a few scenes that happen to take place on or near Christmas time, then no - they are not Christmas movies.

I hadn't either until 2 years ago, now it's a Christmas tradition to watch it! Such a great movie

So now I'm curious what your favorite Christmas movie is.

It's A Wonderful Life is the quintessential Christmas movie. You are wrong.

I've never seen Meet Me in St. Louis. So no opinion.

Neither of these are Christmas movies.

Also not a Christmas movie. My husband and I have this debate every Christmas.

[kaydee0402]

I'm very opinionated when it comes to what's considered a Christmas movie.

White Christmas, Holiday Inn and It's a Wonderful Life are my three favorites.

[kaydee0402]

Bing Crosby was amazing.
