Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; English Subtitles; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re; Behind The Scenes This vignette-laden, nostalgic view of Christmastime in 1940s Indiana follows nine-year-old Ralphie, who desperately wants a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas--and is waging an all-out campaign to convince his reluctant parents that the toy will be safe in his hands. By turns warped and winsome, the comedy follows Ralphie as he prepares for the big day with his rather idiosyncratic family. Based on the novel by humorist Jean Shepherd (who also narrates the film), A CHRISTMAS STORY gained popularity long after its theatrical run, through frequent holiday broadcasts that turned its schoolyard "triple-dog" dares, family neuroses, and childhood indignities into a Yuletide tradition. Color by Medallion.
Additional cast: Ian Petrella (Randy), R.D. Robb (Schwartz), and Tedde Moore (Miss Shields). Christmas Story: Ultimate Collector's Edition Reviews: "...A version of Christmas as it exists only in the imagination....Shepherd has always been best at evoking the texture of life as it used to be in his midwest childhood..."
-- Jagr., Variety "...There are many small but perfect moment in A CHRISTMAS STORY....There is a real knowledge of human nature beneath the comedy..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "...Think of it as IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE for post-Reagan generations as it morphs from cult to classic 20 years down the road..."
-- Alynda Wheat, Entertainment Weekly "...[A] modern-classic telling of Jean Shepard's '40s-based Midwest yarn..."

This review is for a different format. My home town
Of course it's one of the greatest Christmas movies ever but, the first scene in the movie is downtwn Cleveland, Ohio, my home town. I'll never forget watching the Lionel trains in Higbee's department store window back in the forties and fifties. One of my best friend's Mother has a cameo in Higbee's which made it even more special.

This review is for a different format. The Best Family Movie for any time of the year
I have always loved Christmas movies\stories. One of my favorites even at my age is Christmas Story. It is such a movie to watch and to recapture your own childhood through the eyes of your own children. To watch the family struggle to understand the meaning of the real Christmas is such a joy to see, not only at Christmas but at any time of the year is a joy to me. I think personally that this film protrays the real meaning of the "Holiday Seasoning". Thanks for having it available on DVD. You will have my bussiness no matter where I am and I thank you.

Principally recorded at A & M, Hollywood, California; Rumbo, Canoga Park, California and Gold Mine Studios, Woodland Hills, California in 1998. Originally released on Columbia (3035). Includes liner notes by David Millman.
The 2003 edition of Chicago's Christmas album (now subtitled WHAT'S IT GONNA BE SANTA?) includes the entirety of the band's 1998 Christmas release CHICAGO 25: CHRISTMAS, and adds no less than six newly recorded tracks. Produced by the legendary Phil Ramone (the original sessions featured E Street band keyboardist Roy Bittan at the helm), the new tracks feature more of the group's unique interpretations of holiday chestnuts.
Rather than tired re-treads of the same old songs, the versions on this album generally benefit from radically ...
