Just two more days until 24 hours of "A Christmas Story"

[NFS4]

I know I'll probably watch at least 12 hours of it -- it's one of the few movies I can watch back-to-back, over and over and not get tired of (at least during the Christmas season).

[Ralphie is visiting Santa at the department store, only he can't remember what he wanted]
Santa Claus: How about a nice football?
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Football? Football? What's a football? With unconscious will my voice squeaked out 'football'.
Santa Claus: Okay, get him out of here.
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] A football? Oh no, what was I doing? Wake up, Stupid! Wake up!
Ralphie: [Ralphie is shoved down the slide, but he stops himself and climbs back up] No! No! I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!
Santa Claus: You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

Only two more days until I am eating my father in law's delicious bread and watching A Christmas Story.

Classic!

Ralphie: Oooh fuuudge!
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Only I didn't say "Fudge." I said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the "F-dash-dash-dash" word!
Mr. Parker: [stunned] *What* did you say?
Ralphie: Uh, um...
Mr. Parker: That's... what I thought you said. Get in the car. Go on!
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] It was all over - I was dead. What would it be? The guillotine? Hanging? The chair? The rack? The Chinese water torture? Hmmph. Mere child's play compared to what surely awaited me.

Defiantly watch it 2-3 times...or at least the equivalent as i'll flip past it and have to watch the santa scene or the leg scene or the mashed potatoe scene or....

agreed. it should be required viewing for entry into this country.

 

[aircooled]

I watch a movie once, maybe twice. Then I'm done.

 

[Platypus]

I honestly just do not like this film.. I've tried and tried to watch it. I've probably seen it 20+ times and I just don't enjoy it. People tell me something is wrong with me

Un-American!

 

[dennilfloss]

Never seen it.

 

[frostedflakes]

My favorite part of Christmas.

 

[us3rnotfound]

Hmm, never seen that one before! I'm in bunches just waiting for this to arrive to a TV screen near me!

Dude, you are old as dirt; how could you have not seen A Christmas Story?

LOL at this in the comments section:

My roommate is from China and when I showed him this part, he doesn't understand the joke.
He just thinks they're singing regular.

lol

 

[Cdubneeddeal]

Love the movie and definitely a Christmas classic.

Drakkon beat me to it. Was going to post that as well.

My wife doesn't like it either. It's damn near grounds for divorce.

 

[GenHoth]

I strongly dislike this movie

"Holy smokes, it was 6:45! Only one thing in the world could have dragged me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window."

 

[CPA]

YES!!!! My favorite Christmas movie, by far.

 

[StarsFan4Life]

"Be...sure...to...drink...your...ovaltine....OVALTINE? A crummy commercial? Son of a bitch!"



Mother: All right. Now, are you ready to tell me where you heard that word?
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master. But, I chickened out and said the first name that came to mind.
Ralphie: Schwartz!

 

[IronWing]

Is this the movie where Ralphie shoots his friend in the face with a shotgun?

 

[EvilYoda]

I'm trying to figure out what to do from Wednesday to Sunday...I don't know many people in Phoenix, I have no plans (doing stuff for the new year) and I'm not religious. I plan on cleaning the apartment, watching Band of Brothers in blu ray, catching up on movies and sleep. w00t.

Last year was cool - I was with my family in New Orleans and listened to the Christmas Mass at...St. Louis Cathedral?

Isn't that redundant?
