Last chance to watch A Christmas Story on TBS

Thanks, been watching it for 30 plus years.  I'm pretty sure I know the dialog from memory.  It is also running on TNT.

Certainly one of my favorite Holiday movies.  I like Its a Wonderful Life the best, then this one comes in a close second...

Speaking of the display window, while the M10000, Hiawatha, and the beginning of the freight train are Lionel, the caboose on the freight throws me off. It is a nickel plate center coupola. The film was
done in 1982-83 I wonder if Williams or someone else had one of these on the market yet.

Perhaps Kusan? I think Williams was only selling kits in the early 1980's, but could be wrong.

No train directly visible in this shot, but it's reflection is in the window.

 

Getting ready to watch it now on DVD.  Perfect way to end Christmas!

I have the DVD.....so weather its on or not....I'll be watching!!

Window displays are so beautiful and the work is incredible. The artistry to create such magical displays blows my mind. Reminds me personally of those days when I was a child and my parents would take my sister and I to DC and see the Christmas windows at Woodward & Lothrop. Almost always they had a Lionel working train and needless to say......I wanted it!

I caught a few minutes of it but the real highlight for me today was seeing A Holiday Affair with Robert Mitchum and starring Lionel 2333 Santa Fe F3s!

I said goodbye to Ralphie about 4PM Christmas Day,  went

to my daughter's house to open presents.  To say I love 

that movie is one big understatement.

 

"See you in Oz folks," will see you next year Ralphie. Gee

I hope he gets that rifle. 

 

Many thanks,

Got more bad news to tell

 

By posting about the article here, you are serving the author by increasing its visibility.
As far as I am concerned, Jean Shepard was not a racist, nor was the movie. The article was written by one person, and reflects that one person's opinion. I know of no organized effort to ban the movie.
But since you bring it up, maybe the anti-gun lobby will seek to have the movie banned because it glorifies guns.

 

For the record: I played with toy guns as a child. As an adult, I have no interest in guns, but respect the rights of those that do. And I listened to Jean on WOR in NYC, and have read all his books multiple times. I even have a copy of Excelsior, You Fathead, but haven't read the whole thing yet.

 

Isn't this board supposed to be free of politics?

Everyone lives in harmony in my world of Lionel.

My kids gave my the 25th Anniversary DVD set a few years back and we always watch it when they're home for the holidays. For a movie that I didn't even know about until the late 90's or so, it's amazing how much it's become a holiday classic.
