    I like the brief summaries of each movie listed, which can help people who have never seen the movie to get a better understanding of it. I also like when it states, “some believe this movie is unsettling and uncomfortable,” for the Polar express, because as a kid I hated it and it was unsettling, so it was funny to see that I wasn’t the only one.
