Dang Ralphy! A Christmas Story (1983) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction

[@jccw227]

Fun fact: In the scene at the Chinese restaurant, Melinda Dillon had no idea when the duck was brought out that the head would still be attached, or that they would chop it off like that, so her reaction is genuine.

One of the greatest lines ever: "Randy lay there like a slug. It was his only defense."

[@Ohiostatefan221985]

The whole movie is one giant group of memorable lines.

[@RyneMurray23]

It's easily one of the best lines👍🏼 I also love "My father wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over lake Michigan".

[@janecrow1122]

My favorite is Mom asking Randy if she'll "See you later?" when he's under the sink. Peace, all 💕

"you used up, All Of The Glue, ON PURPOSE!"

Ralphie’s “I dunno, the bell rang!” is just perfect. And the expression on his face 😂 The true dilemma of being a kid and not wanting to get in trouble

[@pleutron]

when i was a kid, my "pink bunny suit" was a pair of red cowboy boots (ropers) from my granny. I bawled like a baby. never wore them again.

[@zedwpd]

They didnt freeze Flick's tongue to the pole for real. It was a little hole with some suction. He was fine.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Great way to do that scene

[@Gumgumgamer009]

lol ya know I guess I always wondered how they did that stunt xD I always thought if they did do it for real all they’d have to do to help the kid out would be to pour some warm water on it.

I always say this movie makes you nostalgic for a time you never actually lived through

[@tomyoung9049]

Have the whole movie memorized but still smile watching it each Christmas season. 😊

[@leogothisoscar271]

I love this movie. I feel you can't really appreciate it until you are an adult because it's all about nostalgia and a child's perspective (the flashbacks are silly, but spot-on for a kid). I also find that I get and appreciate his parents more since I became a dad. My 2 favorite parts are how the mom handles him beating up the bully and how upset he and his brother were (giving him milk and shutting the cabinet for example) and the pure elation on the dad's face when Ralphie is opening the bb gun.

[@darrenshoults4620]

I watch this movie every time l come across it. It just makes me happy and nostalgic from when l was a kid. All the daydreams that runs through your head when you're that age.

[@kathyastrom1315]

People argue over when exactly this was set. I think it takes place in December 1940. We know it’s 1939 or later due to the prevalence of the Wizard of Oz characters, and 1940 would explain why there are people in uniform in the beginning but they don’t yet have wartime restrictions/rationing or blackouts. Since it is so close to the end of the depression, that also explains the ancient wiring and furnace in the house-it was probably built in the teens or ‘20s but they couldn’t afford to upgrade anything during the ‘30s, especially with a growing family.

Didn't know there's a debate

This is my husband's favorite movie! He would watch it every year with my father-in-law and I.

[@StCerberusEngel]

This movie has been a part of my life for over 35 years. It feels so true to life and really captures that family Christmas feeling, especially through the eyes of a 9 year old. Jean Shepherd's writing and narration has that underlying cynicism, but never loses that sense of nostalgia for days gone by. Classic!

[@drcornelius8275]

This movie hits hard for those who can relate to that era and experience. Such a great film!

[@angelagraves865]

My great grandmother used to write Miss before my name and Master before my brother's when she wrote to us. I liked it.

Darren McGavin was in a short lived show called Kolchack the Night Stalker. Only lasted one season but it was good yet creepy. 1974-1975.

[@oaf-77]

Such a talented performer, sadly underappreciated, his portrayal as the dad is so layered. It would have been easy to play it as a stereotype, but instead he's aloof and boorish and playful and sentimental all at once. Just such a dad.

Kolchak taught me a lot of valuable monster killing information!

The significance of the blue bowling ball is that was the time of the introduction of space age plastic bowling balls. Previous to that bowling balls were made of hard rubber and were always black.

Fun! So many iconic lines but I think my favorite is “Don’t want to waste electricity” when the mom goes to turn off the leg lamp while every other light in the house is on full power 😛🤘

[@kathyastrom1315]

You just know that the grown-up actors were having a blast making this film! Especially the daydream sequences. And even the everyday stuff gave them things to do. One of my favorite moments I didn’t notice until years of watching it was after Ralphie says, “Fudge” (“only I didn’t say fudge…”). When the Old Man sends him into the car, as Ralphie turns his back and walks away, you see the Old Man start to smile just before the camera cuts away. Perfect!

[@llorona7847]

I love this movie. Ever since I was a kid, it holds a special nostalgic place in my heart. I’m not a Christian and don’t care for Christmas, but this movie is a whole mood. So many iconic lines and imagery.

[@MLJ7956]

And the actor who played Ralphie was also in sci-fi horror film in the 90s called 'Arcade' (and it also has the actor who played Scott Evil in the Austin Powers movies and the actor who played Q from Star Trek The Next Generation), the actor who played Flick was in 'The Toy' with Richard Pryor & Jackie Gleason, also the actor who played Scut Farkus was in Freddy Vs Jason as the nightmare image of the dead brother.

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

The actor who played Ralph is was an executive producer of the first Iron Man movie, and also took a small role as the scientist that Obidiah Stane yells at: "Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! From a box of scraps!" He later reprised the same role in the second Spider-Man movie.

[@AutoPilate]

The actor who played Ralphie often produces films directed by Jon Favreau. He also directed Couples Retreat, starring Favreau.

Every Christmas, TBS shows 24 hours of A Christmas Story. It has been my tradition since I was 17 years old to watch it at least 3 times during that 24 hour period.

[@alanflor703]

I got two BB guns one Christmas when I was about that age. I got the standard one like Ralphy got plus my uncle handed down one that he had. It was older and more powerful. That was the one I used! (Still got both eyes)

Jean Shepherd, the author on which the stories are based and a co-scriptwriter and the narrator, makes a cameo in the film. He's the father who breaks the news to Ralphie that he is not at the start of the line but the end of it.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Saw this one in the theater when I was about Ralphie's age, with my whole family. I remember my dad saying several times that this is EXACTLY like when he was growing up.

[@ryanfeit1420]

"A Christmas Story" is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. This film is truly iconic and a childhood favorite which was released in November 1983. RIP Melinda Dillon, who played Ralphie's mom. She also played the mom role in Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind".

[@jimpemberton]

When we were still a young family and didn't particularly have any special Christmas traditions established, our young daughter really wanted a tradition. She hadn't seen this movie yet and I had a copy, so on Thanksgiving weekend when we decorate for Christmas, I prepared to put the artificial tree up and fluff it. I asked if she wanted to watch this movie and she said she did. She absolutely loved it, but more importantly she declared that this was now a Christmas tradition. So now that she's grown and married, she still comes over to decorate the tree and we watch A Christmas Story while I put it up and fluff it. My sons come too, but not necessarily to watch the movie with me. This has turned out to be for me and my daughter.

[@wmason1961]

That's true. My kids are all in their thirties. They probably don't know how many of their childhood traditions were started by themselves. But they know that the ones their kids love were started by my grandkids. This is something we should probably discuss with them.

[@tofersiefken]

There are a lot of great holiday movies out there that have become a tradition for me to watch (multiple times) annually in celebration of holiday nostalgia. For me, this is the most relatable and takes me back to a special Christmas (1982) when I really wanted an electric guitar. I swear, Ralphie and I lived parallel stories, dropping not-so-subtle hints to the parents and such, including parallel endings when, after all the other presents were opened, and it didn't look like I'd get my Christmas wish that year, my dad revealed that one more present was hidden in my sister's closet. It was a Peavey T-30, my first ever electric guitar.

They say that if you want to know who the best people in show business are, look to the ones who are known for playing antagonists and villains. And the actor who played Scut Farkus was no exception. He was apparently the nicest kid on set, and grew up to be a very good man.

The tongue on the flagpole trick was very clever. The metal was heated from the inside and there was a small hole that had a tube that ran to a vacuum cleaner. As long as he didn't pull too hard or too far he stayed "stuck". Very sneaky!

I adore this movie!!!! I was a junior in HS when it was released. I went on a double date with a boy I was newly dating & really liked, to see this & unbeknownst to me, another group of my friends were at the same show (they’d said they were going to a different show). About halfway through the movie I hear “Suz Kane we know you’re here, we recognize your laugh!” I was so embarrassed at the time. 😂 I grew up in a small town and we had store windows decorated and the Main Street decorated as well as an annual Christmas parade. My dad LOVED Christmas and gift giving. He and my mom spoiled us rotten on Christmas. But the best was that he would do things like the BB gun - get some super gift that my mom didn’t even know about and surprise us and it was from Santa. And he’d be just as excited for us as if he’d received it himself. Did you notice how excited Ralphie’s dad was and was acting out pouring the bb’s in himself? So makes me think of my dad. My folks grew up in the 30’s & 40’s, so this movie really felt like a mix of their childhoods and mine. And the mom telling Randy “well you can put your arms down when you get to school” was so something my mom would have said to me. I just love this one so much! Oh and we were a live tree family and we did both garland and tinsel cause each parent preferred one over the other. 😂 And while I was never given a BB gun, my brothers received them when they were young. 😉 I have since been skeet/trap shooting several times as an adult and love it.

[@cliffchristie5865]

As near as I can make out this is Christmas of 1940. With the references to The Wizard of Oz, the Little Orphan Annie radio show and the other period details - plus Ralphie's age in the story compared to the narrator in 1983, it can probably be narrow down to that year.

[@oaf-77]

The wizard of oz had a major theatrical rerelease in 1945 , which was actually when the movie made most of it's money and became the cultural icon it is today. Ed: it was actually 1949

[@cliffchristie5865]

@@oaf-77 Oddly, for some time, I also thought it was 1949. I've since reconsidered. '49 still doesn't jibe with the narrator's age, there's no reference, visual or otherwise, to the war - which, though not part of the story, would still be very much on people's minds and, lastly, the Little Orphan Annie radio show only aired up to April of 1942.
