I am going to watch a Christmas movie tonight with my parents. I am debating between this one and It's a Wonderful Life.

I'll watch it later. Our annual Xmas movie after the dinner is usually Christmas Vacation.

Darren McGavin isn't alive, and therefore a reunion would never in a good sense happen. Surprisingly, everyone else in the main cast is alive besides McGavin and Sheppard. Well that's still better than most attempts at reunions. Even if the 2 in question are pretty important to the movie (1 being a lead actor and the other cowrote the script as well as being the author of the short story in which the movie was based). But everyone but 2 is better than getting no one but 2 people. Also if they can't have a reunion, then just bring on Scotty Schwartz and a reunion of his costars from the porn he starred in when his Hollywood career spun out as "Plan B" for the Christmas Story reunion. If they can't get Zack Ward, they can always call Sheamus.

I watched Scrooged earlier. That's my holiday favorite. May check out Better Off Dead later which only has a Christmas scene in it, but still a classic.

This has gotta be the only movie that I can watch without ever getting tired of. It's a timeless classic, but I only watch it once during the marathon, otherwise I get sick of it fast.

Caught a little bit of it tonight before watching Christmas Vacation, have no fear, my family uses it for background noise during the get-together tomorrow/today.

Easily without a doubt the most overrated Christmas move of all time. Certainly not worthy of being played a day straight on a cable channel.

I am sad to say I have never seen this movie the whole way through.

But everyone but 2 is better than getting no one but 2 people. Also if they can't have a reunion, then just bring on Scotty Schwartz and a reunion of his costars from the porn he starred in when his Hollywood career spun out as "Plan B" for the Christmas Story reunion. I know what you're thinking, "Oh geez, here's Mister 'I-live-in-Jean Sheppard's-hometown' guy." I live where the movie is "based" (as opposed to where it was filmed). Every year around Thanksgiving, they start the ball rolling with the annual Christmas parade. This year, the "Grand Marshalls" were the actors who played Randy, Grover Gil, Scott Farkus and Miss Shields. (No Schwartz or Flick this time, weird considering there's a Flick's Tap not too far from here - yes, the dad's "tavern" is still there but now a tequila bar and grill.. And I had no idea Miss Shields was still alive. She looked 55 when the movie was made.) That's about as good a reunion as you're going to get. They have a Christmas essay contest, ugly lamp contest (winner gets an authentic leg lamp), "Oh Fudge" father-son relay race, and "Mommy's Little Piggy" mashed potatoes eating contest. The Welcome Center has a replica of Santa's Mountain, with the big-ol' slide. Yes, we're weirdos and cling to any sort of celebrity rub we can get. I know where I'm spending next christmas

Christmas Vacation > Christmas Story
I still love both though.

I don't hate this movie, but I do hate how it's the only thing TBS'll air for an entire day. Any movie, no matter how good, that airs for 24 hours on a cable channel will get flack because of it. Remember the 24-hour Iron Giant marathon on Cartoon Network a few years back?

I love this movie. It's still the greatest Christmas movie there is. It's absolutely timeless.
I remember someone here posted a photo collage of the boy in 4 different embarrassing situations. (soap in the mouth, bunny costume, etc) does anyone know where that is? I've been looking for it...
