The comic mishaps and adventures of a young boy named Ralph, trying to convince his parents, teachers, and Santa that a Red Ryder B.B. gun really is the perfect Christmas gift for the 1940s.

Ha my father just tried to put some movie on that wasn't A Christmas Story. I just shut his ass the f**k down. We're on 24hour Christmas Story lock down

Nothing captures the essence of Christmas like the scene where the dad is struggling and uttering obscenities to himself while decorating the tree.
the fuck is up with these kids in these christmas movies being straight up psychopaths
dad's face as ralphie opens the bb gun is a thing of such pure tenderness, it makes me cry every fucking time, like the best parts of my life as a child and as a parent have condensed into one moment of simple pleasure and i remember that that's all happiness really is, peaceful stolen moments and watching someone you love get exactly what they want
Bob Clark should have turned A Christmas Story into an early '80s slasher, Ralphie traumatized by everyone telling him he'll shoot his eye out, grows up and is now known as "the eye snatcher."
Part Twenty-two of A Very Merry Christmas Challenge.
Simultaneously a glistening piece of nostalgia and a free-wheeling work of Christmastime charm and cheer; A Christmas Story is an utter masterpiece that explores the life of a child named Ralphie as well as visualizing a period of vibrant happiness and Rockwellian beauty.
Directed by Bob Clark, the film flows like a constant stream of memories. Some good, some embarrassing, some bad, and some venturing into the surreal and the fantastical; the state of mind of Ralphie makes up the bulk of the story, as does his quest for his ultimate present of a Red Ryder Air Rifle. However, the film never becomes a character study, always finding ample screen-time for the…
Directed by Bob Clark, who bizarrely also has Porky's in his filmography, A Christmas Story is a captivating and heartwarming comedy that's a delightful countermeasure to the full-grown responsibilities of Christmas with a movie which captures the susceptibilities of childhood in imperishable detail. Based on novelist and comedian Jean Shepherd's semi-fictional reminiscences from his 1966 book In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash, it contains a sufficient amount of projectiles lampooning Christmas themes such as nostalgia, conservative values and consumerism. This is a undoubtedly a festive classic.
It’s that once a year time for the Bob Clark Double Punch!
I never get tired of this movie because it is my childhood in so many ways, just switch out BB gun with ultra violent R-rated horror movie. The scene where you can hear Schwartz’s mom on the other end of the phone is one of the best things ever captured on celluloid.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or just good day, y’all! However you do you, have a fabulous one!
My dad loves this movie so every year we watch it and I used to hate it. But every year I like it more and more and more

based on Jean Shepherd's semi-fictional anecdotes in his 1966 book In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash, with some elements from his 1971 book Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories and Other Disasters;
a seasonal classic in North America;
The film is presented in a series of vignettes, with narration provided by the adult Ralphie Parker reminiscing on one particular Christmas when he was nine years old. Ralphie wanted only one thing that Christmas: a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle. Ralphie's desire is rejected by his mother, his teacher Miss Shields, and even a Santa Claus at…
This is, in my opinion, the best Christmas film of all time; it is, without a doubt my favorite Christmas film of all time. Like many holiday related films, A Christmas Story presents the audience with a feel-good story. What makes this film different from others is the means by which we arrive at the films denouement. The film is full of mildly raunchy humor and has an overall phenomenal story. I’ve seen this film at least one hundred times and I’ve laughed every time I’ve watched, without fail. The scene about thirty minutes in, that depicts Ian Petrella’s Randy eating his dinner like a “piggy” is hilarious. One of the things that I believe makes this film so great…
Too mean spirited and overly pleased with that aspect of itself to be great.
for being a nostalgic Christmas favorite that I truly do enjoy watching, there are a surprising number of scenes where I find myself having to look away from the screen in disgust! ho ho ho!
My favorite Christmas movie. I know it’s my favorite when I watch it in October.
