What is your favorite scene or line from the movie "A Christmas Story"? I have to go with Fra-gill-eee cause my wife and I use that line all the time (said with a very thick and very bad Super Mario Italian accent). "You'll shoot your eye out" being a close second. |

"It must be Italian. See? It says 'Fra-jee-lay.'" or "I triple dog dare you." |

My dad could weave a web of profanity
To this day, it hangs like a blue cloud over Lake Michigan
Ralphie throwing his buddy under the bus for the "F-word" and the mother hanging up when she realized how bad it was going to get at the other kids house. There are so many good ones in this movie

I liked the Ralph's fantasy of defending his family from a bunch of burglars creeping into their backyard. Ralph shot one of the burglars in the butt with his BB gun; the guy fell off a fence, went into convulsions and then died. The whole back yard looked like a shooting gallery as Ralph picked off the burglars, one by one. The stack of dead burglars with Xs on their eyes at the end of it all was pretty cool! |

My favorite scene is at the end when Ralphie takes his brand new Red Ryder BB gun into the backyard, starts shooting stuff, and whack!, almost gets a BB in his eye. He then goes in crying to his mom, tells her an icicle fell off and hit him in the cheek, and she buys the story! The triumphant, but gloating, look on his face is priceless. |

All things considered, a post that begins with that sentence is nothing but trouble. |

It's all good, but the scene that always gets me laughing is the mall Santa. The way it was shot was great, from the way the bells on the elf hats bounce when the elves say their lines, to the whole surreal kid like perception of Santa and the panoramic view of the surrounding mall from above.

Psycho Santa saying What would you like for Christmas,little boy? and then the kid screams.The very first time I saw this at the movie theater,I was plastered ,and I dont think I've ever laughed so hard at a movie.Especially when the guy chops the head off the "Chinese Turkey". The store scenes were filmed at the old Higbees store in downtown Cleveland,I remember going there when I was a kid. |

Ralphie beats up the bully and the priceless shoulder shrug of his best friend says it all at the end. As in, you weren't much of a bully after all, huh? Opening the first presents and the synchronized tossing of the socks over the shoulders. The can of Simoniz as a present
don't we all have relatives that are well meaning but don't have a clue as to Christmas presents? Whatever the aunts name is that perpetually thinks Ralphie is a 5 year old girl and gives him the "Demented Easter Bunny" outfit as the old man calls it. And the classic "But the bell rang" as Ralphie states rather than stick around and help with the tongue frozen to the flag pole. The teacher's reaction is quite priceless too. |

Sigh
I used to like this movie
But a former job location played this movie ALL DAY, EVERY DAY for the eight-nine hours that it was open
so, everyday starting the day after Thanksgiving up until Dec.23
.I got to hear "A Christmas Story", over and over and over and over and over and over and so on
.and so forth
I took the fun out of that movie for me
That was four odd years ago
I'm just not getting back to where I can watch it
without wincing
