"It has a warmth and humor that soar with the season." -Christian Science Monitor

"Isn't just about Christmas; it's about childhood and it recaptures a time and place with love and wonder...an instant classic, a film that will give pleasure to people not only this Christmas, but for many Christmases to come." -Boston Globe

"Delightfully entertaining, with a wryly amusing narration to keep the adults in the audience smirking." -Time Out

Based on the humorous writings of author Jean Shepherd, this beloved holiday movie follows the wintry exploits of youngster Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley), who spends most of his time dodging a bully (Zack Ward) and dreaming of his ideal Christmas gift, a "Red Ryder air rifle." Frequently at odds with his cranky dad (Darren McGavin) but comforted by his doting mother (Melinda Dillon), Ralphie struggles to make it to Christmas Day with his glasses and his hopes intact.
