Saw this movie once, which was a waste of my time. Something I won't repeat; nor will my family. There are enough good Christmas movies around that this need never waste your time.

So many people have written about A Christmas Story that it's difficult to come up with anything novel to say. I remember seeing it for the first time when I was in junior high school and the other kids were saying "You'll shoot your eye out." Over the years, I've watched it as my life has changed. But A Christmas Story has always retained its charm.
I think that A Christmas Story is not so much about Christmas as it usually works out for most of us. Like most "holiday classics," it's about the Christmas that we always hope that we will have. For those who first watched the film in the 1980s, it evoked nostalgia for a seemingly-simpler time. A Christmas Story celebrates family, friendship, decency, triumph over adversity, and not taking oneself too seriously. It probably goes without saying that this is a "sweet" movie.
The only things that I dislike about this film are the sequences in which Ralphie fantasizes. Those segments just don't do much for me.
This film has become a holiday classic. I recommend it to anyone who has not seen it.

Few films can stand to be seen as many times as 'A Christmas Story'. If you grew up in the 50's or 60's this film will really bring back memories of being a kid at Christmas time, but anyone should be able to relate to this film. I avoided this film for a few years because TNT played this film continually for 24 hours every Christmas. I finally was ready for a viewing and what better day to do it?
The film is a timeless classic brimming with the excitement of the holiday. The narrative only enhances the dialogue going on in our own minds. This was Christmas in a simpler time, when the emphasis wasn't on over spending, but the thought of family and that one special item for Christmas morning could make all the difference.
The two disc set is very nice with full and widescreen versions of the film included, There is also a fair amount of extras including commentary, trivia game, "making of" feature-ette with on screen comments by the director, Billingsley and three other child actors from the film. There are spots on Daisy rifles and the famous leg lamp and a few other interesting tidbits to toggle through. While most of the extras are fun, none of them are essential or give any real insight on this excellent low budget film. I would have loved more depth in the making of feature-ette and not just the actors remarking on how much they liked making the film. The DVD transfer looks really good and if you don't have this in your collection, you should.
Merry Christmas everyone, from yours truly Dr Shock!

It was great to finally purchase this DVD for both of my children. It's our favorite Christmas movie by far.
