From the manufacturer

'You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out'

At least that’s what little Ralphie Parker is told when he asks his parents for a Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-Shot Air Rifle for Christmas. Hilarity ensues as Ralphie, along with his friend, Flick, try to convince Ralphie’s parents and even his teacher, Miss Shields, that a Red Ryder BB gun is the perfect Christmas gift for a nine-year-old boy.

Trivia

A Christmas Story aired before Thanksgiving (on November 18) in 1983.

The movie opened on 883 screens.

Director, Bob Clark, had to agree to make a horror movie for the film studio as a trade off for making 'A Christmas Story'.

The movie was filmed in Cleveland, Ohio, and many of the townspeople temporarily donated their antique cars to help the film appear more authentic for its 1940s time period.

A Christmas Classic

  • A fun and appropriate comedy for the entire family
  • Available on DVD or Blu-ray
  • 94 minutes of charm and laughter
  • 8.5/10 rating from a leading movie review site
  • The perfect Christmas movie to get everyone in the holiday spirit

Meet the Cast

Ralphie (Peter Billingsley)

All Ralphie wants for Christmas is a Red Ryder BB gun and there’s not much he won’t do to try and convince everybody around him that he needs one. Will his comical and manipulative antics get him what he wants come Christmas morning?

Old Man Parker (Darren McGavin)

Old Man Parker is Ralphie’s dad and the quintessential father of the 1940s. Between winning a contest for the first time in his life, to seemingly never-ending battles with the furnace and the neighbors’ dogs, Old Man Parker is the temperamental, yet loveable, character you’ll secretly cheer for throughout the movie.

Mother Parker (Melinda Dillon)

Mother Parker is the glue holding the Parker household together. While refusing Ralphie’s request for a BB gun that will 'put his eye out', she must also make sure that her youngest son eats and her husband stays away from the Christmas turkey. Now if only she could get rid of that ugly leg-shaped lamp.

Flick (Scott Schwartz)

Ralphie’s trusty sidekick could always be counted on to help fight the bullies and get into general mischief. In one of the most memorable scenes from 'A Christmas Story', Flick gets his tongue stuck to a frozen flagpole after receiving a triple dog dare from one of the school bullies.

Product Description

Product Description

Christmas Story, A (WBFE) (DVD)

It's the final days before Christmas in early 1940s Cleveland, and 9-year-old Ralphie wants one thing from Santa Clause more than anything else: a Red Ryder Carbine Action Air Rifle. As he trudges through the snow to school, faces the neighborhood bully and visits a malevolent department store Santa Clause, Ralphie connives, conspires and campaigns for the most fabulous Christmas present ever in this heartwarming, hysterical and sweetly nostalgic holiday film.

Amazon.com

Director Bob Clark's charming, touching, and very funny adaptation of humorist Jean Shepherd's nostalgic, autobiographical Yuletide novel, In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash, remains essential holiday family viewing. Narrated by a man (Shepherd) recalling his childhood, the film looks back at the compulsive efforts of 7-year-old Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) as he tries every means possible to acquire his dream Christmas gift--a Daisy-brand Red Ryder repeating BB carbine with a compass mounted in the stock. Problem is, he lives in a Norman Rockwell-esque Midwestern town in the 1940s, where his parents, teachers, and even Santa Claus all warn Ralphie that "he'll shoot his eye out." Episodic in nature and seen entirely through the eyes of a child, the film offers a wonderful look at the day-to-day eccentricities that grew out of this conservative period. More interestingly, it cleverly captures childhood urgency, where even the most trivial fantasies or objects become immediate life-or-death necessities. While countless family Christmas movies serve up clichéd situations suffocating with preachy sermons, Clark's acute eye for detail and odd mixture of warmth, satire, and quirky humor are the reasons why so many viewers have rediscovered this after it initially bombed in the theaters. Sentimental without being syrupy, it's a true rarity: a holiday movie that adults and children can enjoy equally, for completely different reasons and regardless of the season. --Dave McCoy

Love this movie
I'm so happy to finally own this movie and not have to wait for it to come out on tv every Christmas. The disc was in good condition. The case was a little flimsy but, for the price I didn't expect much. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't fill the entire tv screen and has wide black borders but, I'm still glad I bought it.
Thank you for your feedback

Amo esta película navideña, y cuando supe que saldría restaurada en formato 4K UHD la compré de inmediato. Se ve increíble, con todos sus colores llenos de vida por el HDR, y traía un Slipcover de colección.
