A Christmas Story. 1983.
In 1940s, little Ralphie tries to persuade everyone that a Red Ryder BB gun is the perfect gift, while his family prepare for a Christmas that's to never be forgotten.
"A Christmas Story" tells of the materialistic journey of Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) as he searches for the golden, upheld idol of all red-blooded American boys: A Red Rider Air Rifle while everyone tells him he will shoot his eye out. Ralphie spins an intricate web of cunning and deceit as he plots to get his hands on it - including an essay, a trip to Santa Claus and more. The movie also shows us a glimpse of his family - his irritable, foul-mouthed father who fights with the furnace and has a good heart. His whiny little brother Randy who gets dressed up to go outside in the cold by his sweet natured mother.
From the start right up to the end this is a fun family film that we can all relate to with the preparation of Christmas and the dad getting the Lamp in a shape of a leg that stands out in the window for all to see and thinking it's the golden idol of everything. Every household should have this in their Christmas collection pile.
