How did you first discover this movie?
I've first discovered this movie on TBS during the part where Ralphie's mother punishes him by sending him to bed and her yelling at him not to give her that look

Trailers on TV then actually seeing it at the movies.
shareIt's been a family favorite since it was release on home video...I was born a couple years after it was released and my first few viewings were on our old Betamax :)

What was it like watching this movie in the theaters?
shareIt had been out a couple of year before I saw it. A friend raved about it and said I had to see it. And I was glad I did.

When they aired the theatrical trailers. I remember being quite impressed with the Ralphie/Santa boot scene haha.
shareOn cable in the mid-80's. I don't even remember it coming to theaters, sort of like The Princess Bride. But by about 1987, my brother and parents and friends were all big Christmas Story fans, and looked forward to it every year (no marathon yet, you just had to catch a showing).
I never had it on VHS, so I picked up the DVD about 8 years ago because my wife and I like to watch it on Black Friday and eat leftovers while everyone is out doing the shopping craziness thing.
You still have the VHS ๐ผ ?
shareI was visiting my father in California back in the summer of 1989. He was a music teacher and was teaching summer school. I was at home glipping through the channels and ran across this on HBO. I've been hooked on it ever since!
