gotta love it

"It's a major award"

I just bought the special edition dvd of
A Christmas Story
I usually just watch it on tv - but I felt that
I needed to own a copy

It's not Christmas if you don't watch this movie
at least once...



"Ralphie Parker" - Peter Billingsley
was just in that move "the break-up"
I didn't even know it was him when I saw it...

"Mr. Parker" - Darren McGavin
died February 25, 2006

"In the heat of battle my father wove a tapestry
of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space
over Lake Michigan."

I love this movie. I especially love the quote.

my best friend just told me she first saw this movie last year. I then asked her if she had been living under a rock? she seemed a little offended.

she's 44 years old and has two kids. I have no kids but I have seen this movie more times than I care to mention. It's a christmas tradition.

This TOTALLY beats "It's A Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart. This movie is never old. I loved it when Ralphie shot his eye out. Hahahaha!

Are you going to make a pilgrimmage to the house in Cleveland though? You can buy one of those lamps at the gift shop ;)

Most amazing Christmas movie. I seriously watch the TBS marathon in its entirety most years. I want that lamp. Have you seen the guy who bought the house that the movie was filmed in? He restored it. It's hilarious.

Scut Farkus though..

Zed said...

Okay, even though I recently told someone I HAD seen this movie, I haven't ever seen it. Blame it on confusion from overwork...

Now I have to go see the just so I don't look like a liar. Sigh. Life is so difficult... :)

Sounds good though!
