I don't know how anyone could hate this movie. It is great.

Never heard of it.

Love it. A classic.

Love the movie. Not fond of it being on for 24 hours straight, but I don't watch TNT that much.

Why would anyone hate it?

Fra-gee-lee

YOU'LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT!!!

Dreck da alls dwif boas of bolly

I like it when he goes over the rules for daring.

I believe it's You'll SHOOT your eye out.

hah-ree not bolly, sucka!

Uh, that's what I said...

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

Uh no

"I like the Wizard of Oz."

I like that part.

Naddafinga!!

All good Christmas movies have dogs running amock
Christmas Story - Christmas Vacation

the narration is hilarious!!

That's the scene.

I found a goof in it. When the family gets up on Christmas morning and goes downstairs to open presents, the fireplace is already going strong...

Best Christmas movie ever. Period.

Should have been a sick of it option

"I can't put my arms down!"

"Randy lay there like a slug....it was his only defense."

"Ohhh fuuuuuuu-dge!"

"Sonsofbitches!!! Bumpases!!!"

oh and one more...

"the rack, the guillotine, the Chinese water torcher....mere childsplay to what awaited me."

Shit do you realize that you are that guy that everyone makes fum of when watching a movie?

Nothing like watching a movie with someone that mocks every line......

Bump..

Sorry, had to bump it for the GREATEST movie of all time.

pretty much my favorite x-mas movie growing up. haven't seen it in a few years at least. I always loved the part when he beats the crap out of the bully

fav parts: tongue to pole, dropping the f-bomb, and beating up the bully

It's my favorite Christmas movie. I'm definitely watching it tonight.

Last one on TBS starts at 5 PM. After that is Family Guy! KA. This is starting to turn out to be a pretty damn good x-mas.

The narrator's voice makes that movie classic.

What bullshit. They pre-empted King of Queens for this trash.

Oh YEAH.... I Tripple DOG dare YA.

It's what it's all about......

I use that quote on the job from time to time.

I'm watching Home Alone for the first time in 15 years

"It it it twas.... SOAP Poisoning!"

I just did a movie with the guy who played the bully.

I tried to watch this Christmas Story thing today and it was so lame I could'nt get thru 5 minutes. It's A Wonderful life...... that's a great holiday movie. This Christmas Story shit sucked 54 kinds of ass.

bump for the 3rd year! :)

Does Fargus's little toadie get kicked in the nuts this year?

good actor...CSI, Transformers, The Outer Limits :clap:

Quite the career!

the book is even better. but I still love the movie.

"Yyyyou used up all the glue....on purpose"!

love the narrator - "...so, the old man. headed to the back yard, to burry his 'major award'"

"I told you not to buy Lifeboy!"


*dramatic music*

Oh Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge

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

All awesome quotes :clap:

love it when the mom shuts off the lamp on their way to get a Christmas tree, and comes out and says simply
"I don't want to waste electricity"

...meanwhile all the lights are still on inside the house.

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 Lamp.

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.

Rather watch Die Hard but it is a good movie

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

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

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.

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!

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

how could anyone hate it?

Everyone needs one of these in their yard.....

Never seen it.

These. Awesome movie.

Oh, and when Ralphie decodes the secret message in the bathroom, finds out it's a "crummy commercial".........then says "son of a bitch!"

The old man's eyes boggled. Overcome by art.

It...Was.....SOAP...Poisioning

Thanks for the heads up, watching it right now.

Just finished wrapping presents while watching the movie. I'll watch the end and put them under the tree. Merry Christmas everyone.

What was the name of the Lone Ranger's nephew's horse? LMAO

As much as it saddens me, to this day I have still yet to see it's a wonderful life.

Loser I know.

Victor. Everybody knows that.

Who doesn't like A Christmas Story?


Dirty communists, that's who!

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

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 never saw it until recently. It's pretty good. And the chick playing his girlfriend/wife is hot.

Some men are Baptists, others Catholics; my father was an Oldsmobile man.

"IT'S A CLINKERRR!!!!"

Donna Reed. Major babe.

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.

Breaking out the yearly xmas thread.

Merry Christmas everyone.
