Even though I am not Christian, I love Christmas movies. My favorites include "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Elf" but today I will talk about "A Christmas Story." This film is hilarious and it is great to watch even for 24 hours on TBS on Christmas. It tells the story of Ralphie, played by Peter Billingsley. He is a young kid living in suburbia in the 1940s. It is almost Christmas and Ralphie doesn't want anything for Christmas except a Red Rider BB gun. Everyone says it is too dangerous and he does not care, because he believes it is the greatest gift ever.
This film is a classic and it is great even in 2013, soon to be 2014. It is a timeless film that only gets better with age. It is so funny to watch Ralphie really try to get what he wants, but he cannot get through the holiday without constant hazing towards the gift he wants. There are countless memorable quotes and moments in this film need to be watched over again. It is great that it is on for 24 hours during Christmas. From the lamp scene, to Santa pushing him down the slide, it is an amazing and hilarious story to watch. It is a classic that will be remembered for awhile.
