Movie title: "A Christmas Story"
Year: 1983
Rating: PG

Running time: 94 minutes
Synopsis: A little boy named Ralphie must convince his parents, his teacher and Santa that a Red Ryder BB gun is a perfect present for him.

My Angle: This movie is perfect for any comedy lover! It just wouldn't be Christmas without it!
Similar movies: "It's a Wonderful Life"
The moment that really put me in the holiday spirit was: When the Chinese people were singing carols over a duck dinner.
Favorite quote from the movie: "You'll shoot your eye out!"
