Synopsis Peace. Harmony. Comfort andiJoy… Maybe Next Year. The funniest thing about Christmas, according to Jean Shepherd's over-the-top holiday comedy, is spending it with your own family. In 1940s Indiana, nine-year-old Ralphie dreams of his ideal Christmas gift: a genuine Red Ryder 200-shot Carbine Action Air Rifle. But when his gruff dad and doting mom regularly respond with "You'll shoot your eye out!" Ralphie mounts a full-scale, hint-dropping, Santa-begging campaign. In this tale you'll be caught up in all kinds of childhood calamities from snowsuit paralysis to the yellow-eyed Scotty Farkus affair to the dreaded tongue-on-a-frozen-flagpole gambit. We triple-dog-dare you to unwrap a more comical Yuletide classic!

If you have the VHS, don't bother replacing it until the tape breaks. Too bad, because this movie is a holiday staple. Delightfully entertaining - just wish the digital transfer would have included a widescreen version.   more >> Customer Review Well done movie which would be much better in ANAMORPHIC video with DTS or DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1 sound. - 3.25 out of 5  (12/8/2002) Whoever was responsible for making sure that everthing fit the times did an EXCELLENT job. It's just as I remember it.   more >> Customer Review Great Christmas-movie, not so great DVD - 2.5 out of 5  (12/3/2002) One of my alltime faves among many x-mas movies. The DVD-extras are: the original theatrical trailer.   more >>
