A Christmas Story - DVD (WS) Reviews

Although A Christmas Story has only been around since the early 1980's, it still ranks up there with other Christmas classics as one of the best! Not only do I watch this during the holidays incessantly, but whenever I need a good laugh or pick me up, I pop this movie into the DVD player.

The storyline is brilliant, the acting is phenomenal and comedic, and the nostalgia in the film is remarkable.

This is a film for people of all ages, including most children. I've never found anything questionable to be in this movie. In fact, the first time I was introduced to it was when I was in public schooling....

This is of course my opinion but A Christmas Story is by far the best Christmas movie out there. I was never one for seasonal movies until five years ago when I was snowed in at an airport and left in a hotel room with only my carry on and the TV to keep me company. I was flipping through that channels and found this great movie on. After watching this movie it became and instant classic with me and that has trickled down to my kids.

As a grey haired man I can still remember the extreme anxiousness and joy of my Christmas seasons as a young boy and how those times were different.

This is an excellent movie based from the standpoint of a young pre-teen boy during the 40's or 50's. Life was different then and this movie has this portrayed in many ways. In that time we wore thick winter coveralls as children and they were very bulky. Calvin Kline did not make them. Every school had a bully and we would go the long way home to avoid them but when pushed too far, we fought. These fights were not with guns but fists and it was not...

A Christmas Story

This is a fun video for all ages. It's a Christmas story and funny. This is a typical family from earlier years, not present day families, very entertaining, I bought it to show my grandchildren and keep them entertained. No bad language, no obsenities, nothing that you would be ashammed to show your family. It is one of my favorites.

This is a Classic Story, but in my opinion i could do without it. Kids whining and screaming over X-mass gifts and ignoreing parents.

classic

a must see/own during the christmas season!  brings back all the wonderful memories of my childhood, and then some!

This is a must see for the christmas holidays. I grew up watching this every year when I was a kid. The movie doesn't lose it appeal after watching every year either. It's great and so true for the whole family to enjoy together. My favorite scene is when they doble dog dare each other to stick their tounge to the flag pole. Classic
