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.

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.

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 12-29-2011 01:19 PM

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 12-29-2011 05:13 PM

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

scho63 12-29-2011 05:37 PM

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.

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.

ROFL - that is one of the better stories told on CP that I could remember, and no airplane toilets were destroyed in the process!!

My wife used to hate it too, but I think it's grown on her over the years. Her sisters absolutely hate it and guys from my work have talked about how their wives/gfs don't like it. Must be a guy thing.

Version 1 has the "fa-ra-ra" scene cut out because some red Chinese commies found it offensive.

Version 2 is not cut.

Is that what they did, depending on the station?

I don't know if I was TNT or TBS, but I watched it twice throughout the two days and both had it in.

Al Bundy 12-26-2015 08:23 AM

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

Mennonite 12-26-2015 09:17 AM

I think it's a classic. Great performances, great "slice of life" story that I think a lot of people can identify with, very funny and endlessly quotable dialog.


My top 8 family Christmas flicks:

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
Scrooge (1951)
A Christmas Story (1983)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966)
Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
A Christmas Carol (1984)
Joulutarina (2007)
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
