Re: A Christmas Story
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] It's ok the first time but I don't get the obsession with it. I think it is one of those movies people say they love just to sound cool [/ QUOTE ] No, it's definitely not. [/ QUOTE ] I remember raising this movie in OOT some time back cos I love it so much, but I thought it was sort of unknown/a sleeper to most. It was a very pleasant surprise to hear how many OOTers liked it - I thought it was pretty obscure till that point. And I was cheered greatly when it came top of the 'best Christmas film' poll. I think it's not well known in the UK (but we love it in our house). So when I tell people about it here, I definitely don't look cool, just a typical gushing film geek. |

Re: A Christmas Story
I watched it in the theater at midnight this year, as Christmas Eve turned into Christmas. I love when he's writing his theme and after reading his first sentence, which just describes the gun, he mutters, "Wow, that's great."

Re: A Christmas Story
My favorite scene has to be the kid's eye view of Santa's boot to the face.

This movie is a classic xmas movie. Your opinion sucks. [/ QUOTE ] Agreed - it might be guilty of overexposure since TBS/TNT decided to play it around the clock 10-15 years ago, but when you look at most of the other crappy Xmas movies out there this is the best of the bunch. |

Lethal Weapon Miracle on 34th Street It's a Wonderful Life pretty much any version of a Christmas Carol the claymation Rudolph with the yeti and the gay elf dentist Charlie Brown with the [censored] tree claymation Frosty Silent Night Deadly Night Silent Night Deadly Night 2 Silent Night Deadly Night 3 Silent Night Deadly Night 4 Silent Night Deadly Night 5 ~D |

Re: A Christmas Story
People always say Die Hard and Lethal Weapon for Chrimbo action, so here's a prop for 'Long Kiss Goodnight' - I love this one!

[/ QUOTE ] I'm really not much of a Die Hard fan, and it doesn't really feel like a Christmas movie to me. For some reason Lethal Weapon did, perhaps because I used to be generally depressed around the holidays. Maybe it's just Bruce Willis, since I can't think of a movie he was in outside of The Jackal that I enjoy at all. I'll imdb him and see if I can find any others that I'm forgetting. Maybe Unbreakable. ~D |
