A Christmas Story (1983)
In this classic Christmas film based on the books by Jean Shepherd, young Peter Billingsley plays Ralphie Parker, who spends his time dodging a bully (Zack Ward) and hoping for a “Red Ryder air rifle” as a gift from Santa Claus.
Favorite Quote: “Oh, life is like that. Sometimes, at the height of our revelries, when our joy is at its zenith, when all is most right with the world, the most unthinkable disasters descend upon us.” Sad but true!
