A Christmas Story (1983)

Love this MOVIE
This film never gets old no matter how old I get. It's completely classic.

A Christmas Story still a hit
For anyone looking for some classic holiday enjoyment, A Christmas Story is the epitomy of the traditional Christmas. Told from the point of view of young boy Ralphie, the story covers his desperate longing for the mother of all Xmas gifts, the Red Rider carbine action single shot air rifle.

As with any special edition DVD, there are a ton of extras. Some enjoy them; I am only interested in the movie itself.

Anytime one is in the mood for some good family entertainment A Christmas Story delivers the humor, realism, and trials of a classic Xmas tale.

Classic Christmas movie, less than classic picture quality.
I purchased this movie for my family to watch at Christmas time. We had been amassing a good sized HD-DVD collection and we enjoyed this movie and didn't own it yet, so I purchased the High Def version. Unfortunately, the graininess of the movie doesn't lend itself to HD so well. I can rate the movie 5 stars, but the high def part is what this review is about. IMAX blue planet is the only high def movie I've seen that looks worse. Time of original release doesn't seem to be a factor in Picture Quality though, as Casablanca is one of the clearest pictures I have seen from a high definition movie.
