Starring: Peter Billingsley, Darin McGavin, and Melinda Dillon
Plot: Nine year old Ralphie Parker wants just one thing for Christmas, a Red Rider BB Gun. However, every adult responds the same way, “You’ll shoot your eye out!”
Favorite Moments:
- The mother telling Randy to eat like the piggies
- The dad trying to fix the furnace, falling down the stairs and swearing away while he hits the thing with a hammer.
- Randy being shoved into his snowsuit and then falling down and not being able to get up.
- The leg lamp scene, without a doubt, probably still the funniest single moment in a Christmas movie.
- Ralphie telling his mother that Flick taught him the “F” word
- Ralphie imagining how his teacher will react when she reads his essay.
- The bunny pajamas
- When Ralphie gets his gun
- Christmas dinner at the Chinese Restaurant
Quotes:
-----
Ralphie: Flick said he saw some Grizzly Bears next to Pulaski’s candy store.
Adult Ralphie: They looked at me as though I had lobsters crawling out of my ears.
-----
Chinese Chorus: Deck the Harrs with Bough of Harey, Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra.
Tis the season to be Jarey, Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra.
-----
Father: It’s a major award!
Neighbor: I wouldn’t have guessed that, it looks like a lamp.
Father: What is a lamp, you nincompoop! It’s a major award and I won it!
-----
Father: It’s so indescribably beautiful! It reminds me of the 4th of July!
-----
Father: Get the glue!
Mother: We’re out of glue.
Father: You used up all the glue on purpose
-----
Father: He looks like a deranged Easter Bunny
Mother: He does not.
Father: He’s does too, he’s a pink nightmare.
