Fun fact: In the scene at the Chinese restaurant, Melinda Dillon had no idea when the duck was brought out that the head would still be attached, or that they would chop it off like that, so her reaction is genuine.
One of the greatest lines ever: "Randy lay there like a slug. It was his only defense."
Mine too
The whole movie is one giant group of memorable lines.
It's easily one of the best lines👍🏼 I also love "My father wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over lake Michigan".
My favorite is Mom asking Randy if she'll "See you later?" when he's under the sink. Peace, all 💕
Me and my father would watch this every Christmas it's my favorite
They didnt freeze Flick's tongue to the pole for real. It was a little hole with some suction. He was fine.
Great way to do that scene
lol ya know I guess I always wondered how they did that stunt xD I always thought if they did do it for real all they’d have to do to help the kid out would be to pour some warm water on it.
@@AwesomeUSMoviesIt’s movie magic James. Long before movies became CGI vomit canvasses, filmmakers had to think up clever tricks to sell illusions in the movies.
I always say this movie makes you nostalgic for a time you never actually lived through
Ralphie’s “I dunno, the bell rang!” is just perfect. And the expression on his face 😂 The true dilemma of being a kid and not wanting to get in trouble
Rest in peace
Jean Shepherd 1921-1999
Reginald H Morris 1918-2004
Darren McGavin 1922-2006
Bob Clark 1939-2007
Les Carlson 1933-2014
and Melinda Dillon 1939-2023, the actor who plays Ralphie he played Ming Ming in the Elf movie, the actor who plays Scut Farkus, he played Lt Dante in Z Nation
And the actor who played Ralphie was also in sci-fi horror film in the 90s called 'Arcade' (and it also has the actor who played Scott Evil in the Austin Powers movies and the actor who played Q from Star Trek The Next Generation), the actor who played Flick was in 'The Toy' with Richard Pryor & Jackie Gleason, also the actor who played Scut Farkus was in Freddy Vs Jason as the nightmare image of the dead brother.
The actor who played Ralph is was an executive producer of the first Iron Man movie, and also took a small role as the scientist that Obidiah Stane yells at: "Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! From a box of scraps!" He later reprised the same role in the second Spider-Man movie.
The actor who played Ralphie often produces films directed by Jon Favreau. He also directed Couples Retreat, starring Favreau.
Jean Shepherd, the author on which the stories are based and a co-scriptwriter and the narrator, makes a cameo in the film. He's the father who breaks the news to Ralphie that he is not at the start of the line but the end of it.
"A Christmas Story" is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. This film is truly iconic and a childhood favorite which was released in November 1983. RIP Melinda Dillon, who played Ralphie's mom. She also played the mom role in Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind".
40 years old.
Thanks for reminding me how old i am😞
I was born 35 days after it premiered, and have lived 35+ years of my life less than an hour's drive from Ralphie's house
Darren McGavin was in a short lived show called Kolchack the Night Stalker. Only lasted one season but it was good yet creepy. 1974-1975.
Such a talented performer, sadly underappreciated, his portrayal as the dad is so layered. It would have been easy to play it as a stereotype, but instead he's aloof and boorish and playful and sentimental all at once. Just such a dad.
Kolchak taught me a lot of valuable monster killing information!
When we were still a young family and didn't particularly have any special Christmas traditions established, our young daughter really wanted a tradition. She hadn't seen this movie yet and I had a copy, so on Thanksgiving weekend when we decorate for Christmas, I prepared to put the artificial tree up and fluff it. I asked if she wanted to watch this movie and she said she did. She absolutely loved it, but more importantly she declared that this was now a Christmas tradition. So now that she's grown and married, she still comes over to decorate the tree and we watch A Christmas Story while I put it up and fluff it. My sons come too, but not necessarily to watch the movie with me. This has turned out to be for me and my daughter.
That's true. My kids are all in their thirties. They probably don't know how many of their childhood traditions were started by themselves. But they know that the ones their kids love were started by my grandkids. This is something we should probably discuss with them.
I never get tired of seeing Ralphie kick that kid’s butt.
They say that if you want to know who the best people in show business are, look to the ones who are known for playing antagonists and villains. And the actor who played Scut Farkus was no exception. He was apparently the nicest kid on set, and grew up to be a very good man.
Every Christmas, TBS shows 24 hours of A Christmas Story. It has been my tradition since I was 17 years old to watch it at least 3 times during that 24 hour period.
The line from the old man saying "he looks like a deranged Easter bunny" was improvised on the spot
And the mothers resction during the whole chinese restaurant scene was genuine
She was given a different script from the rest of the cast and had no idea what was happening 😂
You just know that the grown-up actors were having a blast making this film! Especially the daydream sequences. And even the everyday stuff gave them things to do. One of my favorite moments I didn’t notice until years of watching it was after Ralphie says, “Fudge” (“only I didn’t say fudge…”). When the Old Man sends him into the car, as Ralphie turns his back and walks away, you see the Old Man start to smile just before the camera cuts away. Perfect!
I can confidently say that I have watched this movie at least 10 times every Christmas season for thr past 20 years straight.
You're not alone! Does watching this reaction count as the first watching? 😂
Same!
Fun! So many iconic lines but I think my favorite is “Don’t want to waste electricity” when the mom goes to turn off the leg lamp while every other light in the house is on full power 😛🤘
Saw this one in the theater when I was about Ralphie's age, with my whole family. I remember my dad saying several times that this is EXACTLY like when he was growing up.
Grandpa always wanted to take the turkey out of the oven at the earliest possible time, and Grandma always thought it was under-cooked. "You'll get worms!" is exactly what she said to him to try to convince him to cook the bird a little bit longer.
Have the whole movie memorized but still smile watching it each Christmas season. 😊
As a Cleveland girl - the square is downtown Cleveland public Square. The house has been made into a home you can tour and the houses around it have different things from the movie you can enjoy. You can go to a place in medina called castle Noel and you get to actually go down the slide as they take pictures. They have other things from Christmas movies for you to enjoy - including uncle Eddie's horrible rv!!
You forgot to mention the house is in Toronto canada. :)
@MitchClement-il6iq the house is in Cleveland the inside is a sound stage. The school is in Canada and where the boys are running from scut farkas and the toady
The store is on public Square and is now a gambling place
And the Chinese restaurant is in Canada
There are a lot of great holiday movies out there that have become a tradition for me to watch (multiple times) annually in celebration of holiday nostalgia. For me, this is the most relatable and takes me back to a special Christmas (1982) when I really wanted an electric guitar. I swear, Ralphie and I lived parallel stories, dropping not-so-subtle hints to the parents and such, including parallel endings when, after all the other presents were opened, and it didn't look like I'd get my Christmas wish that year, my dad revealed that one more present was hidden in my sister's closet. It was a Peavey T-30, my first ever electric guitar.
I discovered old time radio shows when I was around ten or eleven in the form of cassette tapes at the local library. By the time my brother-in-law introduced me to A Christmas Story on vhs, several years later, I had listened to an unknown number of Lone Ranger episodes. Imagine his surprise when I knew the name of the Lone Ranger's Nephew's horse. 😉
Same. In the 80s my parents had some old radio shows on cassette we used to enjoy. 😊
I love listening to old time radio shows online. They're so good!
This movie has been a part of my life for over 35 years. It feels so true to life and really captures that family Christmas feeling, especially through the eyes of a 9 year old. Jean Shepherd's writing and narration has that underlying cynicism, but never loses that sense of nostalgia for days gone by. Classic!
My great grandmother used to write Miss before my name and Master before my brother's when she wrote to us. I liked it.
My sister who was 8 years older, and didn't live with us, introduced me to this movie. She passed away 35 years ago, and this movie never fails to remind me of her. Miss you, Diane! ❤
Sorry for your loss
This movie hits hard for those who can relate to that era and experience. Such a great film!
Was I the only one yelling HUSH while he was explaining tires???
YOURE GUNNA MISS THE FUDGE PART!!!!!
THANKFULLY you heard it 😊
I love this movie. Ever since I was a kid, it holds a special nostalgic place in my heart. I’m not a Christian and don’t care for Christmas, but this movie is a whole mood. So many iconic lines and imagery.
I love the story about your wife kicking anyone out who makes trouble during peaceful holiday celebrations. 🙂
Hard to believe this movie is 40’s yrs old. I was in my first year of college when I first saw this magnificent movie in the theater. It IS the best Christmas movie EVER!
My stepdad had a permanent scar on his tongue when was dared to 😂
Since you liked this, you might also like "A Christmas Story Christmas" (2022). It is the only true sequel to this original. It's a bit sadder, but now you'll get all the jokes and callbacks.
I was born in 83, I was born 7 months before this film was made and always watched it as I got older
I was born a month after it hit theaters, I'm 83 by a week😂
This movie hits my nostalgia button and it transports me back to when I was a kid and all the excitement I felt waking up Christmas morning and celebrating it with my family. It was wonderful 🥰
I adore this movie!!!! I was a junior in HS when it was released. I went on a double date with a boy I was newly dating & really liked, to see this & unbeknownst to me, another group of my friends were at the same show (they’d said they were going to a different show). About halfway through the movie I hear “Suz Kane we know you’re here, we recognize your laugh!” I was so embarrassed at the time. 😂
I grew up in a small town and we had store windows decorated and the Main Street decorated as well as an annual Christmas parade. My dad LOVED Christmas and gift giving. He and my mom spoiled us rotten on Christmas. But the best was that he would do things like the BB gun - get some super gift that my mom didn’t even know about and surprise us and it was from Santa. And he’d be just as excited for us as if he’d received it himself. Did you notice how excited Ralphie’s dad was and was acting out pouring the bb’s in himself? So makes me think of my dad. My folks grew up in the 30’s & 40’s, so this movie really felt like a mix of their childhoods and mine. And the mom telling Randy “well you can put your arms down when you get to school” was so something my mom would have said to me. I just love this one so much!
Oh and we were a live tree family and we did both garland and tinsel cause each parent preferred one over the other. 😂
And while I was never given a BB gun, my brothers received them when they were young. 😉
I have since been skeet/trap shooting several times as an adult and love it.
Absolutely love the movie!It was a family tradition while my parents were still alive but still watch it on my own now.
The significance of the blue bowling ball is that was the time of the introduction of space age plastic bowling balls. Previous to that bowling balls were made of hard rubber and were always black.
"you used up, All Of The Glue, ON PURPOSE!"
when i was a kid, my "pink bunny suit" was a pair of red cowboy boots (ropers) from my granny. I bawled like a baby. never wore them again.
My favorite Christmas move ever! We let it play on repeat all Christmas Day. Thank you TBS for creating this tradition 😆
We do too! Turn it on as soon as we get up and eventually you see the whole movie throughout the day
"The queen mother of dirty words" 😂😂😂
This is the an amazing movie, it's not just about a Christmas present, it's about how that Christmas changed his perception of things and along the way he developed a deeper understanding of his parents and himself as he grew through childhood.
Every year, we watch this. I celebrate a different holiday but this movie is just feel-good, laugh-out-loud, and we always loved Darren McGavin. He was such a wonderful actor. I had a pop gun when I was 5--back in 1966--and I snuck up behind my mom while she was canning something in the pressure cooker and pulled the trigger. She freaked, thinking the pressure cooker had exploded. I didn't get to play with my pop gun (it was a 'rifle' style) for awhile.
Schwartz getting Pearl Harbor'd over the phone will always the funniest part to me, and I've seen this movie a hundred times and laugh my ass off everytime at that part!
Poor Schwartz
I always had the vision of him just laying on the couch or his bed reading a comic book just before his mom burst in and started to beat him, probably the only time in his life where he said he didn't do anything and was telling the truth.
I was shocked you didn’t tell Ralph to stop when he was beating that kid. Lol. You were as mad as he was! Lol
As a younger brother, I too cheered on Randy while he beat on Ralphie.
Lol
This is my husband's favorite movie! He would watch it every year with my father-in-law and I.
My dad introduced me and my brother to this movie years ago and we watch it every Christmas. A classic! And yeah we also play Santa on Christmas morning. 😄 Loved the reaction! Thank you!
Thanks for watching
One of my favorite Christmas movies. Watch it every year.
Last year they made a really good sequel called "A Christmas Story Story". It is the best of the sequels. One cool thing about it is they brought most of the original cast back. And it is filmed in a similar fashion. Worth checking out.
Weird that the sequel was produced in Bulgaria. Lots of CGI, including the too-clean '65 Plymouth, called a '66...
@rickr442 Which sequel?
The one released in 2022?
That was filmed in Ohio.
Gary, look at the end credits of the '22 sequel. Cast interviews have mentioned it as well. Like the original used Canadian soundstages, the sequel went offshore, probably because of government subsidies.
@@rickr442 Ok. So no USA filming.
This movie's story takes place in 1939. The sequel made last year. Took place in Dec of 1973.
I watch this movie every time l come across it. It just makes me happy and nostalgic from when l was a kid. All the daydreams that runs through your head when you're that age.
I also say our house is the only house decorated on our street so we go all out with lights& things.
One of my go to Christmas films that I only discovered 5 years ago and must watch once every holiday season.
Peter Billingsley who played Ralphie is now Vince Vaughns business partner
The kid who played Ralphie, Peter Billingsly, is now a sucessful movie producer and has worked frequently with Vince Vaughn and John Favreau.
I randomly met Peter all grown up at a bar one night and hit it off...such a great guy...I didn't even know it was Ralphie until later , but it was definitely a night to remember! We had a great adventure akin to the movie's premise...I sure do miss him !
Great reaction James. Thank you so much for doing this one. I love this movie you were so funny you always make me laugh with your reaction and I just sit here and laugh along with you. Thank you so much 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
This is hands down my favorite Christmas movie. I watch it every year. I really love it.
Haven’t watched it yet, but I needed this rescuing today. Was just thinking, I needed a good Christmas reaction. God bless you sir!
You've gotta watch A Christmas Story Christmas next! A sequel that came out last year or something with most of the OG cast coming back! Cried like a baby
Duck is good for ALL occasions. That one at the restaurant looked like it was striking a pose in the oven.
They actually made a sequel a year or two ago. It was really good. Same family. Ralphie all grown up.
People argue over when exactly this was set. I think it takes place in December 1940. We know it’s 1939 or later due to the prevalence of the Wizard of Oz characters, and 1940 would explain why there are people in uniform in the beginning but they don’t yet have wartime restrictions/rationing or blackouts. Since it is so close to the end of the depression, that also explains the ancient wiring and furnace in the house-it was probably built in the teens or ‘20s but they couldn’t afford to upgrade anything during the ‘30s, especially with a growing family.
Didn't know there's a debate
"Melinda Dillon, who plays Ralphie's mother, was completely caught off guard seeing the duck served with its head. In fact, she was intentionally given the wrong script so that her reaction - including every laugh and shriek that ended up being left in the film - is completely genuine."
The pole was a vacuum, it had a little hole that sucked the kid's tongue to the pole. Fun movie magic fact.
My favorite line is the father when he says, 'dad gummit, blowout!'. 17:10
this movie never gets old for me, I grew up in middle of nowhere too pretty much, Walla Walla WA, and got to love reading Sci-Fi and Fantasy in the mid 70s
We open gifts one by one, youngest to oldest. Usually we pick one person to hand out the gifts. Great reaction!!
Youngest to oldest. I get that. We just do it willy nilly but the youngs kids get one right away to keep them busy
I was almost in the store front scene, and I was standing at the store front window when I heard they were inside filming the santa slide scenes. I was about Ralphie's age at the time too. I wasn't in the movie but my family were walking around one of the nights they were filming in the city. my mother was a kid in the years that the film was set, so she was tripping out at the set design, taking our city back 35 years. it would be like walking into your town square tonight and it was 1988 again. They redid the signage, the cars, busses, bus stops, street lights, all of it.
"Randy lay there like a slug, it was his only defense"😂😂 that line kills me
It's a great line
My family always opens one gift at a time so everyone gets to see what everyone got and you get to watch the other people open what you got them. It’s so nice I can’t imagine doing it in a frenzy of everyone at once, it would be so quick and missing out on that connected feeling for me.
Agreed
I would open my presents quietly because I really did not want much because I thought my p aren't could spend the money on needed thongs AND I did not want to pretend that I liked the present if I did not want it on the first place
Strange but true = thought it was a "put on show"
I never tire of this movie. I was ten when it came out and I watched it numerous times with my mom. She was a kid in the same time period the movie is set in so it was really nostalgic for her. I love putting the TV on TBS on Christmas Eve and Day and just letting it play over and over. I highly recommend A Christmas Story Christmas. It was released last year and has most of the original cast.
Mom died in 2013, but a few years before that Mom andcI went out for Chinese food on Christmas Day. I always remember that when I see the final scene.
They actually sell the pink bunny suits and different sizes of the Leg lamp at the "A Christmas Story" house and museum here in Cleveland. I bought a leg lamp years ago, but never the bunny suit. Maybe that'll be next. Lol great reaction as always James.
The Wizard of Oz came out in 1939. It might have won the Academy Award if Gone With the Wind had not dominated the Oscars that year
I love this movie. I feel you can't really appreciate it until you are an adult because it's all about nostalgia and a child's perspective (the flashbacks are silly, but spot-on for a kid). I also find that I get and appreciate his parents more since I became a dad. My 2 favorite parts are how the mom handles him beating up the bully and how upset he and his brother were (giving him milk and shutting the cabinet for example) and the pure elation on the dad's face when Ralphie is opening the bb gun.
I still pronounce fragile like the dad 😂 so excited for you to watch this!
I do have a bunny suit yes. I wear it and my family wears other onesie pajamas while we hit the Chinese buffet every Christmas.
Came out in the 80’s. Takes place in the 40’s. The great humorist and author about his Midwest memories, Jean Shepard narrates. His lines are hilarious.
The ending at the restaurant, the mom didn't know about the duck with the head on it, so her reaction to this is legit!
So funny
I only recently discovered this movie about ten years ago. Ever sense, we watch this every Christmas day. We also watch Christmas Vacation, which is my very favourite.
Oh I love that one. I reacted to it last year
I just can't believe you've never seen this. Amazing movie, my mom got my dad a leg lamp just like the one in the movie. They have a running joke where she criticizes it and my dad yells "your just jealous!" 😂.
This film is a true modern classic. Most of the classic Christmas movies were made in the 40s and 50s, so it's a little ironic that the movie is SET in the 1940s. My grandfather used to address letters to me as 'Master;' it's an archaic usage for pre-teen boys.
This is one of two movies I ever tried to imitate, as a kid. I had never heard about sticking your tongue to frozen metal. When my tongue stuck, I panicked. Instead of waiting for it to warm up, I yanked my tongue off the metal, leaving behind 3 layers of taste buds.
The tongue on the flagpole trick was very clever. The metal was heated from the inside and there was a small hole that had a tube that ran to a vacuum cleaner. As long as he didn't pull too hard or too far he stayed "stuck". Very sneaky!
While the movie was filmed in Cleveland and Toronto, it’s set in the fictional town of Hohman, IN, which is based on Jean Shepherd’s hometown of Hammond, which is across the state line from Chicago. The film is set in 1940.
They also came out with A Christmas Story 2 with same people
Except for mom - she was played by the lady from airplane and just friends Julia hagart or something. Melinda wasn't able to do - her health was too far declined
The movie takes place in 1940….and “this thing which tells time” is a sundial…I remember getting my dad that gun after he bugged me for years…I think he was around 65 at the time lol.
I watched this every year. I would watch it while I wrapped gifts. Then I would have it on for the 24 hour marathon.
I'm pretty sure I could recite this movie word for word.
TBS shows this movie for 24 hours on Christmas and we turn it on first thing in the morning and leave it on all day and eventually you see the whole movie.
I think this is the reason I've even seen bits and pieces here and there.
- Peter Billingsley, who played Ralphie, was once a spokesman for the young astronaut program at NASA, and was present for the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
- I don't know for sure, but Darren McGavin, who played Mr. Parker, may have been the inspiration for the name "Shooter McGavin" in Happy Gilmore, because he appeared in the movie Billy Madison with Adam Sandler, which was seen as Sandler's big breakout role.
- It's supposed to be set in Hohman, Indiana, a fictionalized version of Hammond, which was seen in "Dutch" in the shelter scene. Nearby Griffith, Indiana, is mentioned.
- Zach Ward, who played Scut Farkus, later sued Warner Brothers because he had a mishap with his contract and didn't receive any merchandising rights, and he found out that they were trying to create a toy action figure version of Scut. The lawsuit was thrown out because it was considered a "generic" face, and because the statute of limitations had run out.
I don't know why it was so funny listening to some kid get his ass beat over a phone!
It's a movie. Calm down. Try some of the dip.
A neighbor of mine used to have a replica of the leg lamp. It was the only thing they put out for Christmas decoration. So I can say for a fact that you very much can see it from the street.😊
Oh my. Did his wife approve?
@@AwesomeUSMovies lol they lived at the end of the street, so I never got to ask. The lamp just showed up in their front window in December. I just figured it was something of a tribute to this movie and left it at that.
Watch this every year. Fun watching it as a Hoosier
This and The Grinch (starring Jim Carrey) are my favorite Christmas movies. What a great week!
Awesome
I only remember one Christmas from when I was a kid. I suppose it has come to represent all Christmases from when I was a kid. We got princess dresses and sparkly ruby slippers. And bikes!
Oh... love the bikes part
Back in the 70's all us kids and cousins would go to our Great Grandparents house on Christmas day. Our Grandmother would make pajama's for all the kids. The boy's would get nice flannel PJ's with cool designs on the fabric, like Hot Wheels, G.I. Joe, Rockets and Spaceships. Every year was a new design, as a kid I loved having a nice pair every year.
James, if you should ever find yourself near Cleveland, OH you can visit the house where the movie was made. They also have a small museum in one of the houses across the street, with a lot of items from the film. On the day that I visited, the actress who played the teacher was there to rewrite the A+++++++++ on the chalkboard, as it had faded over time. If you do visit, you'll get a guided tour and learn all sorts of behind-the-scenes info about the making of the movie, e.g. the "snow" on the trees and ground was actually firefighter's foam and the large "snowflakes" falling as the parents were talking at the end of the film were instant potatoes that the crew was dropping from the roof of the house! (Cleveland had very little to no snow at the time the movie was being shot.)
I always thought about Randy trying to put the snowsuit back on at school; he would definitely need help.
Sooo much help and Ralphy just had a coat WITH
My parents were pacifists and they refused to buy Us toy guns of any kind.
My brother and I saved up our gift money for a while (no allowances in my house) and bought ourselves a BB gun.
It wasn't that we couldn't have one, they just weren't going to give us one.
How we spent our money was up to us.
Never been double dog dared but I did get my tongue stuck to a posicle at the beach when I was a kid. It was over 100° and the temperature difference caused it to stick. Was prety funny.
Every year we watch it. You were hysterical to watch while you reacted.
Glad you enjoyed
My brother and I saw this in the theater the year it was released and it's a Christmas tradition for us every year to watch it together. It was filmed in Cleveland Ohio and you can take a tour of the actual house, completely furnished as it was.
