Saw this in the theater in 1983 with my sister and brother the day after Christmas. A masterpiece that is rewatched multiple times a year in our house.

A true Christmas classic, it's the kind of movie you should watch every Christmas season.

A Christmas story is not only one of the worst Christmas movies ever made it is one of the worst movies ever made.

it is definitely recommend but it was good

I would recommend this film to anyone who wants some holiday laughs and some great family time together.

You’ll shoot your eye out this is a really good classic

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This charming film is a family favorite that is surprisingly literate, edgy and compelling on many levels. Every year my family has it on continuously during its Christmas Day marathons with each generation enjoying a different level. Jean Shepherd was a genius and in the end Ralphie receives his Christmas prize from the only one he hadn't asked. Brilliant!

A Christmas Story occasionally delves into underwhelming 80's screwball comedy, but on the whole stands as a masterful approach to portraying the charming Christmas simplicity that pertained to one place at one time.

Nostalgia even though I wasn’t alive. Brings me back to simpler times in the Parker’s home during 1940s Christmas.

The only Christmas movie that matters. I grew up in the Midwest and this movie rekindles the memories of all the good of Christmas past. It is the only Christmas movie that we can watch every year. Highly quotable, which is always a plus!

In a small town in the UK.2 young twin girls celebrate Christmas with an adventure. Including the parents being away for the day. I love this movie because it was a vegan theme. No spoilers but watch it all the way to the end credits 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿/5 on Netflix

One of my two favorite Christmas movies of all time, Love it!

This Christmas movie was really good. Peter Billingsley, Darren McGavin, Melinda Dillon, Ian Petrella, and the rest of the cast did a fantastic job in this movie. The story of the movie was entertaining and dramatic. It's about what you've always wanted for Christmas. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a must see for an entire family.

The most relatable Christmas movie ever made! A Christmas Story (1983) is a triumph of classic directing from the highly inventive Bob Clark and the perfectly executed gimmick of Jean Shepard narrating the entire film. Clark's use of high and low angles to represent a child's perspective, speeding up the daily bully rundowns, nostalgic cuts to the next scene, and wonderfully funny scenes right out of your own childhood. Clark is a brilliant director that proves himself all over again with each scene. The Santa Claus sequence is masterfully crafted and absolutely hilarious no matter how many times I watch it. The tense Ovaltine decoder ring full of suspense of joy is cleverly put together as is the revenge on the bully. Every scene in A Christmas Story feels like something I've experienced in real life with my family or friends. The morals are apparent from being careful for what you wish for, standing up to bullies, standing by your friends, and learning from your mistakes. All useful advice, but are particularly funny put into sequences that any kid can relate and empathize with from your father screaming about decorations, furnaces, food to your mother yelling about swear words, homework, or dinner time. I feel like watching A Christmas Story is more akin to peering into some random family's home during the Christmas season. This is brilliant writing at its most homegrown. A Christmas Story is more than a gut busting comedy of constant laughs, but it is simultaneously a recreation of early 1950's America. The sweet old school score with classic symphonic sounds to the radio programs and decoder rings. Clark even made sure to add bars of soap in your mouth as punishment, Ovaltine, leg lamps, BB Guns, and mall Santas. It's a quaint attempt at referencing back to an older era of American culture. Lastly, the cast of A Christmas Story is just cast to perfection. Jean Shepard's narration is ever present and wonderfully delivered with the enthusiasm of an adult man reminiscing on his childhood. Melinda Dillon is so sweet and motherly, while also capturing the insanity of 1950's mom behavior. Darren McGavin's father figure is so accurate to real life dad conduct it's even funnier. His swearing, frustration, excitement, and tender affection towards his son are all so true to life. Finally, Peter Billingsley as the main boy Ralphie is excellent at delivering funny faces to go along with the narration. He really captures the essence of a young boy anticipating Christmas. This remains my favorite Christmas film of all time. I never tire of it.

The narration and the main character’s whiny voice is so grating and annoying that it’s hard to get past. I can’t sit through this movie when it’s on because of all of the whining. 0 stars, not funny, just annoying.

Loved everything. Disliked people talking during the movie.

A funny movie, but I don’t think I ever gonna see it again.

This movie is such a classic! I watch it every year and it always makes me laugh. It makes me feel so nostalgic for the good old days and I wasn’t even born when this movie was set. I recommend it to everyone.

Not always a fan of Xmas movies but this was great. Unsure how I’ve only just become aware of it. Fun for all ages. Watched on Amazon Prime.
