Just wonderful
Nostalgic tale of a Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley) growing up in the 1940s (I believe). He wants nothing more than a Red Ryder Ranger Model Air Rifle (a BB gun for short) for Christmas but everyone tells him it will “shoot your eye out”.

That’s about it for plot but the film has sequences that every child (and adult) can relate to. My favorites: Ralphie’s best friend getting his tongue stuck to a pole when he’s dared to lick it; Ralphie accidentally swearing in front of his father; the bully that threatens Ralphie and his friends every day until Ralphie beats him up (in a GREAT scene); Ralphie’s constant fights with his little brother (wonderfully played by Ian Petrella) and Billingsley and his brother being terrified by a department store Santa.

Also Melinda Dillon and Darren McGavin are just great as the parents– especially Dillon. She has one uproarious scene where she gets Petrella to eat by imitating a pig! This was totally ignored when it came out in 1983 but has slowly developed a cult following. It’s now considered one of the best Christmas movies ever made–right up there with “It’s a Wonderful Life” (which was also ignored at its release).

A charming, wonderful Christmas film. A 10 all the way!

a contemporary classic
Bob Clark, the director behind the collegiate slasher flick “Black Christmas” and the naughty sex comedy “Porky’s” surprisingly went on to hold the reins of the charming, innocent, nostalgic holiday romp “A Christmas Story” in 1983. The film is seen through the eyes of nine-year-old Ralphie, and is frequently told through the older more knowing voice of Jean Shepherd, who wrote the source material “In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash” in 1966. The film takes place sometime in the early 1940s (Shepherd has been quoted as saying specifically 1940), although the tone and texture of the film allow for more of the uncertain “period” look. The film follows the struggles of our child protagonist, specifically his longing for a very specific BB gun, which he references nearly thirty times during the course of the film, explaining why the come back “you’ll shoot your eye out” is so associated with this movie. “A Christmas Story” is a wonderful, relaxing, little movie that never seems to age.
