The key takeaway here is that Ralphie tells his mother, his teacher, and Santa about the BB gun. He never mentions it to his father, who seems indifferent and distracted by the furnace, the dogs next door and his major award, yet he knew all along what his son wanted. He was almost as excited to give his son the gift as his son was to receive it. There's even a clue in the movie when the father says, "Santa knows. He always knows."
I have watched this movie for 35 years. Seen it so many times, I have every scene in my head. Yet, I never EVER stopped and realized that. At one time, all boys had a level of fear of their father. It kept us in check. But yeah dude, I never once realized that detail. Amazing!
Peter has one of the originals. It's the one you see in a Christmas story Christmas. He also has one of the rifles. Ian has one of the snow suits and the zeppelin
I grew up with this film. Born in '78 in Cleveland. My dad grew up in Lakewood where the school was. My mom tracked down Life Buoy soap (they didn't have the red one, but it didn't taste much different than the normal soap). I still have the Red Ryder BB gun my parents bought me. The sight is off, but I worked around it. I now live in Columbus and my parents have passed, but the movie is a must watch every year.
I'm a Cleveland girl (not far away from the house) and have done a lot of research while we were watching the house being transformed into the movie house. In now down by cincy. Moved down here about 6 years ago
Zack Ward looks exactly the same. He has that perfect sly fox villain look. But he seems like the nicest dude. I only know him from the movie. He did great.
I grew up watching this every Christmas, with my parents and brother. And this year, we're going to watch this with our daughter, who's 7 now, and can appreciate it.
Same. I've been waiting for mine to get old enough to appreciate it. However, they have seen me bring out the dvd (and then blu ray) over the years with the other Christmas movies and they have said they want to watch it, so this will be the year. Ages 9, 7 and 4. Maybe tomorrow on Christmas Eve. I hope yours likes it, enjoy!
Thank you Jean, for writing such an excellent story, and for allowing it to be adapted to so many other forms. I've been unbelievably lucky to have played Grown Up Ralphie in the stage play so many times I've lost count. Recently I even played Jean in A Christmas Story The Musical for the first time. I've had some of the best times of my life because of this story, because of this movie and the work done by the cast and crew. Have a Merry Christmas, all And don't shoot your eye out
This is our favorite movie ever!! My husband grew up in this era so he says this is like watching his family’s home movies! Pure joy!! Thank you all so much!!
I love that Peter Billingsley had a very authentic American Christmas just like in the movie, I’m sure it made his job of acting like a kid at Christmas that much easier.
My top 5 Christmas movies are as follows: “BEN-HUR” (1959), “A CHRISTMAS STORY” (1983), “KING OF KINGS” (1961), “THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD” (1965), and “MR. MAGOO’S CHRISTMAS CAROL” (1962).
Imagine making acting out A Christmas Story your tradition, and then the film's director comes over to say hi. I'm so glad everyone has happy memories of making this movie.
Now if only Billingsley could possibly portray the Roman Centurion Lucius Catanius aka Lucius of Cyrene in a Biblical movie epic with Ian Petrella as Jesus, R.D. Robb as Disciple Simon Peter, Scott Schwartz as Disciple Thaddeus, Zack Ward as Disciple Bartholomew, Chevy Chase as Pontius Pilate, Clint Eastwood as The Older Lucius Catanius (doing narration), and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
I wish like everything I could share a picture of one of my friends on here. He looks identical to Scut. His name is Shawn but I have called him Scut for years and years. I've never seen anyone look so much like another person in my life. So I literally think of this movie non stop.
I'm the guy that when Christmas came around and TBS did the 24hr A Christmas Story marathon. I would put it on the TV all day. Even when I would go to other people's houses. It is by far my favorite Christmas movie!
This movie has become larger than a movie. I mean, it plays 24 hours STRAIGHT every year. I have watched this movie more times than any other movie on Earth and the kicker is, I only watch it close to Christmas time. When I was younger I stayed up for the entire 24 hours of A Christmas Story. I watched EVERY single showing that year just cause I was a teenager and wanted to see if I could. At the time it also was helping me hang on to my inner kid at a time I was too cool for that. This is a special piece of art, it's more than just a movie for us. The memories I have of watching this with family is priceless.
That man at 5:24 , to those who don't already know, is Jean Shepherd, author, 70's radio host, raconteur, and the author of this movie. He is also the author of several humorous books, and in the 1970's had his own radio show on NY Radio station WOR. Back in those days, some people appreciated Jean Shepherd's humor so much that they personally recorded his radio shows, and many of those recordings are posted elsewhere here on RUclips. Edit: And he is also the narrator of this movie.
I Love watching this film on Christmas EVE and Christmas Day . Best Christmas movie ever and I'm going to be watching it again this year in less than a week from now.
I first saw this movie when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade in the early 90s. Up until I was 22-23ish, I thought this movie came out in the 1960s. I thought the kids in the movie were my dad's age. I didn't even notice he was in Elf, I went back and watched the DVD to see his cameo. I had no idea that was Peter in Elf. I only went back and watched it because someone else mentioned it to me. I was SHOCKED at how young 'Ralphie" was at the tome.
I was 19 when I meet Ralphie in Orlando at the Hard Rock back in the late 90's Xmas Season and I won the contest on the radio to be the first to meet him. I still have his pic of me and my sister and I put it up every year! People ask if that was my college boyfriend and I'm like I wish! That was Ralphie from Christmas Story and the lines keep going the whole visit to my home. Love you Peter!!
One year for Chritmas I got the movie on DVD. I was so happy I could not wait to open the rest of my gifts ust so that I could go into the other room and watching it. Then for my very last gift I got my mother handed me a long wrapped box. When I opened it it was a red rider BB gun. I quickly ran outside put a few targes up in an oak tree and on the 3rd shot the BB bounced off the branch and hit me in the forhead. When I walked back into the house I had my head down low laughing. When my mother saw what happened she also started laughing and said those famous line. "You are going to shoot your eye out."
Christmas 2006 my Grandfather gifted me a daisy Not the red Ryder but the 105 buck model and I still have it to this day almost 20 years and still shoot occasionally
My yearly contribution to Thanksgiving Day was 6 assorted pies and the VHS (the 8 track tape today's young adults and kids) of A Christmas Story... When families were big and gatherings bigger! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!
My grandmother worked at that Higbees. The house used for the outside shots is right around the corner from where my dad grew up in Cleveland. My wife's aunt is an extra in the movie. She is in the Santa/ slide scene. The elementary school is right next to the old West Tech High School, where my dad and grandfather went to school. That movie clicks with my childhood in Northern Ohio.
I grew up on 19th and denison. Our neighbors across the street owned the bar on the corner. I love seeing the "land" in movies. You see a bunch of it in the new superman trailer
And lastly you can actually go down the slide. It's in medina at a place called castle Noel's. This time of year you need to get reservations though and it's usually sold out. Amazing place
What a treasure! I love how gracious they all are. I bought small versions of the "F R A G I L E" panel and the leg lamp for my mom. She keeps them up year-round in her guest bedroom, eliciting nostalgic smiles. My dad, now in his 80s said this movie captures what times were like. The documentary "Road Trip for Ralphie" is precious. An engaged couple exuberantly seek out the movie's filming locations. It's almost as wonderful to tag along in their journey.
For what it's worth, along with others I feel compelled to watch this movie every Christmas; also 4 or 5 others. I can relate to that time period so that makes it enjoyable as well. Also, believe it or not, I had a neighbor a couple years older than me that actually had a Red Ryder bb gun with a wooden stock but w/o the compass. Fond memories.
I saw this movie when it released at the ole Portage Theater on Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago. There weren't alot of people who went out initially to see it. I and another movie goer laughed so hard at this movie! The other dude laughed as loud as I did especially every scene with the 'old man'. Great movie!
My mom loved it because she grew up on Cleveland Street in Piqua, OH. I switched twice in the movie theater in middle school. I watched with my sons. Family tradition.
My local independent theater just played this the other night and to be able to watch this in an actual theater was so great! My absolute favorite Christmas movie!
Long time ago in the late 80s our church went christmas caroling in down town port Jeff NY and we got to a Chinese restaurant, ofcourse we all sang Deck the Halls complete with the Ra Ra Ra. Not sure if the staff got it, but all the patrons eating got the joke!
Now we need another update 20 years after this update! I was 10 when this movie came out and watched it every year multiple times since. Everyone LOVED this film even in 1983
This movie is so infused with americana and traditional american culture...whats not to love about it? And i feel the same way about "My Summer Story" 1994. There is also a made for tv sequil called "Ollie Hopnoodles Haven of Bliss" 1988 that follows the family on a summer vacation. Very charming and PG oriented
Christmas 2006 my grandfather gifted me the daisy 105 buck model (similar to the red Ryder but it has no forearm just a bare barrel) my sister did get an actual Ryder in 2022 for Christmas
@@ADRay1999 ive had about every Daisy BB gun made over the years lol My Obsession started with the movie like 35 years ago. To this day, I still enjoy air guns !
One of my favorite movies of all time. I went to the 20th anniversary of the movie and the cast was there watching the movie with us. I met them all and they were all SO nice. Zack ("Scut") took a pic with me and he was taking fake bully pics with people. He was incredibly nice. Had a nice conversation with Scott ("Flick") as well and he was also incredibly nice. Peter (Ralphie) left before the movie started, he tried to sneak out when the lights went down and everyone in the audience was screaming "bye Ralphie" lol. He was sitting in the seat at the theater and I asked if I could take his pic and he said yes and he didn't smile at all but the girl he came with sitting next to him did. Darren ("Old Man") was there too but he was in a wheelchair and not signing due to health issues and not being capable but he was waving to people as much as he could lift his arm to do so. It was both sweet and sad at the same time. J.D. Robb ("Schwartz") was there and he was taking pics and seemed very sweet and quiet. Ian ("Randy") was there but only saw him for a moment. Bob Clark was there as well. I got them all to sign my DVD of the movie. The Mom was not there which wasn't surprising. It was definitely a great experience. There were so many people that showed up they had to do a second showing but only the first showing had the cast there.
To some people, this isn’t just a movie. This is a family tradition that they watch with their families that means the world to them.
❤❤❤
I'd argue that it is to _most_ people.
Dad watching his boy open the real present always gets me
I think it’s really cool Cleveland has the house.
@ Me too. I think it speaks to a lot of us. I've been on both sides of that equation now and that scene gets all over my one feel.
The key takeaway here is that Ralphie tells his mother, his teacher, and Santa about the BB gun. He never mentions it to his father, who seems indifferent and distracted by the furnace, the dogs next door and his major award, yet he knew all along what his son wanted. He was almost as excited to give his son the gift as his son was to receive it. There's even a clue in the movie when the father says, "Santa knows. He always knows."

Huh, I never thought about that. Nice spotting that detail
Rest in peace Bob Clark. Thank you for a beautiful Christmas classic. 😊
and Jean Shepard
He made two Christmas classics! This and black Christmas
And Darren McGavin
@@davidhenderhan716 ALWAYS THE FAVORITE
I guess it’s been another 20 years since this,even more of a classic now that the movie is 41 years old
So crazy I'll be 38 movie never gets old lol❤
WHAT!? It’s 41 years old!🫨
I kept thinking to myself, no way was this released in 2003!
This movie is so awesome. Never get tired of watching it. A CHRISTMAS tradition
One of my friends loves it!
Why'd you boomer all caps Christmas like that?
Was the one movie I made a point of watching via TBS throughout Christmas day.
That bunny suit needs to be in the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
I have one!
I agree
Peter has one of the originals. It's the one you see in a Christmas story Christmas. He also has one of the rifles. Ian has one of the snow suits and the zeppelin

You might be the closest to being the real Ralphie!
@@ront769 I did reenact the mashed potatoes scene a few times lol. A little bit less messy. Definitely didn't get duck.
@@saralynn518 That's pretty cool. Have a Merry Christmas and don't shoot your........
The school is in Canada
I'm a Cleveland girl (not far away from the house) and have done a lot of research while we were watching the house being transformed into the movie house. In now down by cincy. Moved down here about 6 years ago
The Christmas Story is now, 41 years old. That’s just crazy to think 😮!
I'm usually the last one up christmas Eve watching this movie on a 24-hour marathon.
Scut Farkus is so sweet, kind of adorable.....
He's Rickety Cricket's brother on It's Always Sunny in Philadephia
Zack Ward looks exactly the same. He has that perfect sly fox villain look. But he seems like the nicest dude. I only know him from the movie. He did great.
He was the younger brother on Titus also.
He has a great narrowed eye “look”. 😁😁😁😁😁😁
@@doctornova3015 He was also on an episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia!
I thought that was The Sherminator..
I think he was also in Anne of Green Gables and The Sequel, 1985, 1987 as Moody Spurgeon

Oh, wonderful; I may have enjoyed you! We had a date & another family outing to watch this 🥰
@@gohawks3571 Ah nice! Cheers
Greatest Christmas film of all time.
Thank you! I was in a sad mood, now I'm happy!
😆😆😆🖖🖖🖖
We turn this on Christmas morning and let it play on repeat. It’s our background for opening presents, cooking, getting ready for the day
It’s CRAZY to see this late 90’s- early 2000’s era reminiscing on the mid 80’s movie
(c) 2003
A complete Masterpiece!! In my opinion, the #1 best Christmas movie all-time.
Holy wow. (c) 2003. So, another 21 years later since those interviews took place.
This is our favorite movie ever!!
My husband grew up in this era so he says this is like watching his family’s home movies! Pure joy!!
Thank you all so much!!
I love that Peter Billingsley had a very authentic American Christmas just like in the movie, I’m sure it made his job of acting like a kid at Christmas that much easier.
Much more than just a movie, I have a copy we watch every Christmas. 😊❤
It's my forever favorite Christmas movie... and on my top 5 favorite movies of all time
My top 5 Christmas movies are as follows:
“BEN-HUR” (1959),
“A CHRISTMAS STORY” (1983),
“KING OF KINGS” (1961),
“THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD” (1965),
and “MR. MAGOO’S CHRISTMAS CAROL” (1962).
Imagine making acting out A Christmas Story your tradition, and then the film's director comes over to say hi. I'm so glad everyone has happy memories of making this movie.
I have a hard time seating through many movies. This is one I always sit through.
All the kids in this movie are in their 50s now. Crazy this is.
Now if only Billingsley could possibly portray the Roman Centurion Lucius Catanius aka Lucius of Cyrene in a Biblical movie epic with Ian Petrella as Jesus, R.D. Robb as Disciple Simon Peter, Scott Schwartz as Disciple Thaddeus, Zack Ward as Disciple Bartholomew, Chevy Chase as Pontius Pilate, Clint Eastwood as The Older Lucius Catanius (doing narration), and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
This was one of the first movies I was taken to see as a kid and I’m 45 but I still think of them all as kids
A wonderful movie! It has become a tradition in our home!
I wish like everything I could share a picture of one of my friends on here. He looks identical to Scut. His name is Shawn but I have called him Scut for years and years. I've never seen anyone look so much like another person in my life. So I literally think of this movie non stop.
Number 1 best Christmas movie ever. It became a family tradition for us in 1983, and is still our favorite today.

Absolute classic and tradition to watch this every year.

This movie is such a classic…we watch it every year…it is so well done!!
By far my fav Christmas movie, reminds me of family members gone and missed. This movie was always a standard at Christmas for us all to watch.

He ( Zack Ward) was a living Norman Rockwell painting in that movie!
I grew up about 2 blocks from the house, LOVE this movie!
I was sweet on Zack Ward and I would watch the scenes he was in over and over again. He’s still quite handsome! 😍
LOVE THIS 💙
Likewise.
My local independent theater just played this the other night and to be able to watch this in an actual theater was so great! My absolute favorite Christmas movie!
Time of filming this it's on its 20th.... It's now 21 years later from then. Make that's 41st. Holy shooyt I'm getting old.
Peter, that original Pink Bunny suit languishing in your Mom's attic would probably sell for many thousands of dollars on ebay...lol

I would just love to see Peter coming down a set of stairs today 🐰 ❤
I still want a full sized leg lamp. I got a night light leg lamp once but it fell apart after a couple months.
My favorite movie of all time!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

We were one of the families that watched this every single Christmas Eve. I carried that to my children. (Zach grew to be so handsome).
lol Farcus is awesome
Love this movie!!! I've seen it over 200 times, watch it many times during the week of Christmas

I love this Christmas movie there’s not Christmas without “A Christmas Story” I loved Zack as “Scut Farkus”
Great video! Well done!
