OK my mind has been blown a little bit today by a discussion being had about the movie "A Christmas Story". I didnt think it was possible that some people have never seen this movie, I mean how is that possible? I know I've seen it a gazillion times and it never gets old so this poll is for if you have seen it once, seen it multiple times, or never seen it.

The damn movie is on a continual loop Christmas Day--maybe all Christmas week--on TBS.
Ron_Mexico
They run it for 24 hours straight on TNT or TBS spanning Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Anyone who hasn't seen this movie either doesn't have cable, has no pop culture awareness, is under the age of 12,or is partially retarded.

There is no other explaination

Mr. Henkey the Christmas Poo was really good in that movie.

just a few from the army thread, Whiskey has never seen it, Jeff has never seen it, others have seen it once, seems impossible. I mean especially as old as Jeff is and as many years of opportunity he has had.

This from the guy who was an extra in "It's a Wonderful Life"

Geez man, check it out. Classic Christmas movie.

I don't know what that means, but its a very good movie. As are the other two, Miracle is cutesy (watch the updated version) and 'Life is a classic.

But ok, if not, then dont watch.

Christmas Story is lacking in Schmaltz. It is hilarious. It is a parody of a number of Christmas traditions. It also has a lamp that looks like a leg in a fishnet stocking.

Mom: it says Fragile honey

The Christmas Story is a classic. On of the best Xmas movies ever made. Nothing "schmaltzy" about it. It is a hilarious comedy.

Yeah, obviously if Kurt says something... we must have to do the opposite.

For no other reason than to blindly hate someone you don't know at all....

Maybe 100%

A Christmas Story is one of two holiday movies I can actually watch without feeling nauseous.

"Over the years I got to be quite a connossieur of soap. Though my personal preference was for Lux, I found that Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heavy, but with a touch of mellow smoothness. Life Buoy, on the other hand... YECCHH!"
Ron_Mexico
well, what's the other?

christmas vacation, if for nothing more than the rant towards the end

"Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fatass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is. Hallelujah. Holy shit. Where's the Tylenol?"

Me and my sister still argue to this day over whether or not the BB got his eye or whether an iscicle fell and hit him. She hasnt seen it in years and swears up and down it was the iscicle.

I also love the part where he throws out the triple dog dare and gets his toungue stuck to the pole.
bleacherbum3
Great movie. I like when the kid's tongue gets stuck to the flagpole.

Also when Ralphie snaps on the bully and cusses for like 20 seconds straight.

Likewise on both counts.

People who've never seen A Christmas Story are missing out on the fact that Scott Farkus and Dave Titus are one and the same.

My favorite part of the entire movie HAS to be when Ralphie cusses and his mom asks him where he heard it... and instead of telling the truth (that it was his dad), he tells his mom it was his best friend... then his mom calls the friends mom and you actually hear the friend getting whipping on the phone. (NO! *whip whip* I didn't DO ANYTHING! *whip whip* AHHHHHH!!!! *crack* *whip*) It is so funny I am usually laughing about it on and off for the rest of the day.

One of these years, I'm going to celebrate Christmas with a smiling duck and a rousing rendition of Deck the Halls.

Until that day comes, I'll watch this movie every year and say a little prayer for the poor bastards who haven't seen it.

Greatest line in a Christmas movie ever.

A Christmas Story is one of the greatest movies ever. I have watched it way too many times over the years. I actually have my TV on TBS the whole time I'm sleeping on Christmas Eve.

Nope, it's the BB. It ricochets off of the target and into his eye. The icicle was the excuse for the broken glasses.

I love this movie. I'd say that I watch it at least 2.5-3.5 times every Christmas.
