A Christmas Story Turns 25

[Prof.]

Oh look! A Christmas Story on TBS for 48 straight hours Christmas Eve and Day. YAY!

Every time I see the word 'FRAGILE', I pronounce it 'FRAGEE-LEE', and think that the contents of the box must be Italian.

That's a family thing where I come from too...

I still haven't seen It's a Wonderful Life.. I don't care for Jimmy Stewart (he was good in Flight of the Phoenix, tho)

I love that movie for the narration alone. Although I'm definitely interested in listening to the 60's radio versions.

I also love Scrooged ("Look Frank, a toaster! Wack!"), National Lampoons Christmas Vacation (the attic scene kills me) and Holiday Inn (Bing Crosby reminds me of my grandfather. They both had smooth voices and spoke similiarly).

EDIT : Oh, and does The Nightmare before Christmas count?

I hope so, for it's a pleasure to watch such craftsmanship.

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation (the attic scene kills me)

There were many classic shots in there.. Dumping the sh*tter.

If you really want to hear Jean Shepherd telling this story the way he did on the radio during the '60s, drop me a PM.
