One part of the movie that reminded me of my mom, was after Ralphie got done with the soap his mom said "go in your room lights off, and I better not finding you reading comic books". Then he obviously scowled at her, and she said "Dont you give me that look, your gonna get it". LMAO Thats my mom to a T.

the Dad in Christmas Story reminds me so much of my dad. Growing up my dad was always fixing stuff in the house, on the cars (AMC Hornet, and a few 1971 Cutlasses....seemed like we always had Cutlasses! My first car was a 442 lol).

my dad was remodeling/fixing up an old narly bathroom in the basement - I hear him sawing (yes...sawing...as in handsaw ) into the wall etc...then I hear him yelll "Aaaaaaa". I go down there (I'm probably 8) and he's 'taking a knee' on the floor etc, I ask him what happened and he said he cut into a power line lol. he shut off the power to the bathroom etc, but apparently the way the wiring was run for the other parts of the house, som 220 lines headed to the stove upstairs were still live. lol.

there are so many other stories of my dad cheating death...

my old man was fluent in obscenities too.

[Rasputin]

Rather watch Die Hard but it is a good movie

[kc rush]

This is one of my four required shows each year. Every Christmas season I need to watch -
A Charlie Brown Christmas

Christmas Vacation
A Christmas Story

I usually watch A Christmas Story while wrapping presents on Christmas Eve.

[Zebedee DuBois]

The narrator was Jean Shepard. He was also the author of the book and wrote the screenplay for the movie.

Really? I thought it was Daniel Pinkwater, and I thought the narrator was never listed in the credits.....Now I'll have to go watch again.

[damaticous]

It's my Christmas duty to repost this as one of the few contributions I post to the Planet.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope it's a good one filled with the movie, family, food, fun, and traditions.

Oh! and go Chiefs!

[damaticous]

oh! BTW. the movie is on TBS for 24 hours starting now. :)

Watched it twice last night. It's not xmas until it shows on TV.

[JD10367]

This is a great film. How do you measure a great film? By how many times its lines are quoted in real life. There are dozens of quotes from this film that everyone knows, even small snippets. If you're wearing a big puffy winter coat and you stick your arms straight out and loudly whine, "I can't put my arms down!", they know what you're talking about. "Fra-gee-lay", "oh fudge", "you'll shoot your eye out", "I want a Red Ryder BB gun", etc.,. Classic.

I just recently discovered that the film's narrator is the author of the book that inspired the movie. Apparently there is a podcast of Jean Shepherd reading his book "In God We Trust (all others pay cash)" while he was a Cincinnati radio personality.

If you love the movie you'll love his storytelling.

Jean Shepherd was a radio legend. His style is imitated by Garrison Keillor somewhat as well.

Jean Shepherd wrote quite a few books, which are a delightful read.

Jean Shepherd wrote quite a few books, which are a delightful read.

The book this movie was largely based on is called In God We Trust, all Others Must Pay Cash. Also there is a little known sequel called either It Runs In the Family or My Summer Story. Though about the only actor from A Christmas Story is the teacher. Its still narrated by Jean Shepherd.

[Easy 6]

The Mom has a great set of Banana tits, seriously.

The family & i watched it while we opened presents this morning, i had never noticed until today what a nice lil frame the mom has.

A Summer Story was possibly the worst sequel in the history of movies, and that's saying something. Charles Grodin as the Old Man and Macaulay Culkin's less-charming kid brother as Ralphie is irredeemable.

[Rooster]

One scene that always makes me laugh is when the guy brings in the crate with the lamp. The lamp crate has a huge arrow that points up and a huge "This side up" printed on the side.

He sets it up right and pauses then lays it down on its side. It's subtle but very funny how they set it up the scene.

[whoman69]

I'm going to surprise people. Never seen it. I've seen parts of it and just never felt interested enough to watch it all.

[Micjones]

Absolutely love this film. I force my family to endure it for hours EVERY Christmas.

[scho63]

There are about 10 movies that I have seen at least 50 times, this is one of them.

I still laugh hard and two funny scenes for me are when the lug nuts go flying in slow motion and Ralphie screams "Oh fudge" as well as when Ralphie tells his Mom he heard that bad word from "Schwartz" and the kid gets a beating on the other end of the phone from his Mom.

I liked it the first few times I saw it but it didn't have the staying power for me that other Christmas classics have had (A Christmas Carol - '51 version is my favorite, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, Christmas Vacation). It's jumped the shark for me.

I actually sat down and watched this from start to finish with no distractions this year. It was cool. My wife HATES this movie for some reason. I told her that was grounds for a divorce, but I love her, so she stays. For now...

I watch this once a year, on TV when TBS plays it. Usually it's on Christmas day, but I think Christmas Eve is better, and I'll probably start watching it then.

A Christmas Story was ok the first time I saw it 30 years ago, but it isn't a good move it at all.

We cut the cord, so I had to stream the movie this year while wrapping presents last night. It's a tradition I enjoy. I watched Merry Christmas Charlie Brown this morning, It's a Wonderful Life this afternoon and will be watching Christmas Vacation this evening.


Merry Christmas everyone.

The Chicago Bears. Terror of the Midway. More like Chicago Chipmunks.

They still haven't had a good QB.

The parents are so great in their roles. The dad especially. And the narrator is what make the movie for me.

[HonestChieffan]

I've finally gotten old enough to find the mom on here kinda hot.

welcome to grown up

[RunKC]

I usually watch this but did not watch very much of it this year.

I decided on The Princess Bride tonight

The narrator is Jean Shepherd. He was a radio raconteur whose stories were the basis for the movie.

And, yes, Darren McGavin was perfect as the dad.


The director, Bob Clark, had a really odd career.

Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things
Black Christmas
Murder by Decree
Porky's
A Christmas Story
Rhinestone
Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2

each year when I open a random gift from a random relative etc, my wife will look at me and can tell I'm thinking ".....a can of Simonize" while I pretend to be excited about it; just like the Dad in a Christmas Story.


"Stay away from that Turkey...it's got another hour to cook. You'll get worms" is also another line my wife will randomly say when she's in the middle of cooking something and I'm picking at it.

The Old Man's recation to the dogs stealing his much anticipated turkey;; he was so pisssed, he could barely talk. LMAO

The old man has a ton of subtle facial expressions that are just awesome.

Love the movie, but since it is played continuously on Xmas every year, I really don't watch it all that much. It'll probably happen more when I have kids, and my nieces and nephews get a little older but now, I don't watch it much (that with the majority of xmas movies)

[Dartgod]

It's that time of year again. Just started on TBS.

You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

Christmas Vacation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A Christmas Story

Peter Billingsley, who played Ralphie, has gone on to be a producer in Hollywood with a lot of credits to his name. He doesn't act much but he has an uncredited role as the elf Ming Ming in the movie Elf with Will Farrel. Ming Ming is the 'supervisor elf' in this scene:

Certainly doesn't look like Ralphie anymore.

Anyway, just a bit of trivia.

He was in Iron Man, in which he was also an Executive Producer on the film, then played the same character in Spiderman: Far From Home.

[O.city]

Think he was in a movie with Vince Vaughan as well?

Presents are wrapped and I have a scotch in hand.

Cheers and Merry Christmas to all on Chiefs Planet and to those that are no longer with us.

Thank you all for bumping.

I got myself a special Christmas present this year in honor of this thread and my favorite Christmas movie.

"OH FUDGE!" - ROFL

...only I didn't say Fudge...I said THE word...

Over the years, I had become a connoisseur of soap...

Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine...A crummy commercial??? Thunufabitch...

[Dartgod]

A quick trivia question.

How long did it take Ralphie's father to change the tire when he said "Fudge ****"?

No fair Googling.

I actually used the "Fudge... only I didn't say fudge" line while telling a childhood story at Christmas dinner today. :D
