"A Christmas Story" (1983).

[Joanna]

"A Christmas Story" tells of the epically materialistic journey of Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) as he searches for the golden, upheld idol of all red-blooded American boys: A Red Rider Air Rifle. Ralphie spins an intricate web of cunning and deceit as he plots to get his hands on it - including an essay, a trip to Santa Claus and more. The movie also shows us a glimpse of his family - his irritable, foul-mouthed father with a good heart, his whiny brother Randy, and his sweet, all-American mother. It is not so much a continuous story as a series of vignettes, but it ultimately serves the movie's purpose.

This is my brother's favorite Christmas click and a family fave! Ralphies big blue eyes and childhood memories make us laugh together! It was written about a home in Indiana where I grew up -- but the humor is American classic!

Best part of this flick is when Flick (the character) is dared to lick a pole and he ends up bawling!
