A Christmas Story is one of those movies that has transcended its original era and now is seen as a bona fide holiday classic. It has become a staple on TBS and TNT for a 24-hour marathon each year, playing straight from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day.
There are a lot of Christmas movies that are about a scrooge or Santa, but A Christmas Story is all about kids getting their presents on Christmas morning. It’s a film about how a young boy sees the holiday differently, and it’s the innocence of childhood that makes it so powerful.
It’s based on Jean Shepherd’s semi-fictional anecdotes in his book In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash, and is directed by Bob Clark. It’s also a movie that’s full of quotable lines and a ton of iconic scenes.
The main character in the movie is Ralphie Parker, who is played by Peter Billingsley and narrates the entire story himself. This is because, as Shepherd told the press when the film was first released in 1983, he’d been unable to write a script for the movie due to illness and wanted to use his own voice.
Another interesting fact about A Christmas Story is that the film was filmed on location in two different locations, which meant it took a lot of work to get all the snow and frost. Most of the snow and ice was made by using frozen water, which was pumped up by massive snow blowers.
