Oh man, they are BOTH classics -- I love 'em both, but I can only take but so much of Christmas Vacation every year. I watch it once, then I'm done.

Isn't that redundant?

I suppose...but I'm leaving it anyway :p

I can't stand this movie.

Now give me 24 hours of 'Christmas Vacation' and it would be playing the entire time -- even WITH commercials.

WITCH!! BURN HIM!

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

Tape his eyes open- Clockwork Orange style!

My dad is a SPITTING IMAGE of the dad in that show---talks the same, looked the same when I was a kid, same mannerisms...that's why I identify with it so much.

To this day, he curses by saying "CONSNARNFRIGINFRAGINSNAGLEBLASTINBITCHES!!!"

lack of soul?

Unhappy Childhood?

General contempt for humankind?

stop me when I'm getting warm...

:p

I always liked Red Skelton's Christmas special, and does anyone remember Emmit Otter's Jugband special?

We tortured our parents with that one year after year :)

Has become my new favorite sequence over the previous years. Those curses are bloody brilliant :D

I like when he's so engulfed with rage over the broken lamp, that all he can muster is "Not a Fingah!"

A Christmas Story- the director's cut. Scutt Farkas is shot in the head with the RR. Of course, Scutt's head flies backwards, and to the left. Someone is seen fleeing the stockade fence to his rear.
