"A Christmas Story" (1983)

[David]

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.

My dad and I watched our DVD version earlier tonight, then went to look at Christmas lights. This is one of my favorite movies of all time, hilarious!!

"You'll shoot your eye out!"

"Oh fuuuuuudddddggeee. Only I didn't say fudge. I said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the "F-dash-dash-dash word."

Only one thing in the world could've dragged me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window..."

"Fra-gee-lay. Must be Italian."
"I think it says fragile."

BWAH!!

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.
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. I, personally, watched about 10 minutes of the end of Miracle on 34th st., mainly because i love Natalie Wood.

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.

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.

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

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

AMEN! Christmas Vacation is the best Christmas movie ever.

I thought I was the only one who can't stand A Christmas Story!
