"A Christmas Story" (1983)
 

I'm noticing a LOT of very poor (saccharine, mawkish, totally banal) Christmas TV movies on my cable channels.

But this one -- "A Christmas Story" from 1983 -- is a gem. What a hoot! What a howl! It's perfect. Add it to your NetFlix queue. I'm adding it to mine.

Right on!!
 

yep. however, most people have seen it 5000 times. my favorite show today was "tv mega bitches" or something like that. 50 top villain ladys from tv. yes, alexis carrington did come in number one. Megan Mullally (my fav.) was 11 or 12 I think. :wavey:
back to A Christmas Story. My dad says he'll probably have to watch it once tonight. My mom said, fine, do it at 4 in the morning when everyone else is asleep. :laugh: I, personally, watched about 10 minutes of the end of Miracle on 34th st., mainly because i love Natalie Wood. :D

I bought this at Best Buy this year! It is absolutely my fav Christmas movie! We watched it today. I think one of the stations are playing this marathon style today.

Hey Amber... would you happen to know the name of the only kind of wood that doesn't float?

Natalie Wood!!!


yeah yeah... i know, bad taste..... i do like her too, though.

oh back on the thread's subject... i watched this tonight with my family... we laughed our asses off... the little brother whining about not being able to put his arms down... walking around like the freaking marshmallow man from ghostbusters.... the mom tricking the little brother into eating by asking him to show her how a pig eats and he shoves his face into the plate.... good god that movie is funny.

"Deck the halls with boughs of horry, ra ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra...." :lol:

I? Love that movie (just got the DVD for Christmas too). Best holiday movie - ever. :nod:

I love, love, love that movie. We watch it every year at my house. That's our Christmas tradition.

One of my friends had a Christmas Eve get together last night. We watched an old video tape that she had of Rocko's Christmas special.

It was kind of cute but a really odd cartoon. It was really fun to all sit around and watch it together.


I do have "A Christmas Story" on DVD that I got a few years back. I have seen it so many times, however. I remember that my Mom and Dad and myself all used to sit and watch it when it was on cable all the time.

Dumb frattin housickle fifer! You bladda-pus...You snort tunger, lay mungus snaff-a-sill caca!

After seeing this movie probably more than any other movie (which trust me, is a lot), I still crack up at the father fighting with the furnace.

Har. thanks, jessica leigh. :mad: :laugh: And what about those suspicious circumstances around her death with Chris Walken and Mr. Hart to Hart? okay, i'll stop now.

This movie just PALES in comparison to Christmas Vacation:

Helluhuah... Holy ****

Hated it when...
 

it was released....Hate it even more now!!!

Wished the kid would put his brains or face out with a larger caliber weapon...Hell, I would do it for him, A good ol' Christmas Mercy Killin'

I love "A Christmas Story"....TBS starting on Christmas Eve played it straight for 24 hrs...so I think I've seen it plenty this year (although I dont think i got to watch the whole movie ONCE..just pieces)

I have NEVEr seen that movie all the way through - I tried to watch it once when I was younger and it depressed me so much - don't know why...

So this year, thanks to TBS, I've seen many parts of the movie - but still haven't seen the beginning or the end :shrug:

It's okay - but definitely not my favorite Christmas movie of all-time...though who can say...since I haven't actually seen the whole thing :p
