I remember sitting down with my wife against my will to watch a movie called "A Christmas Story" (1983). I said in my head "Booooring".
Then the commentator started to talk about a memory from his childhood in the 40's. "Some men are Baptists, others Catholics. But my father was an Oldsmobile man!"
I could not stop laughing for a good minute. A cute movie with many funny and similar memories from growing up. My dad was more of a Buick man.
All little Ralphie Parker wanted for Christmas was an official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle.
Ralphie's mom said "You'll shoot your eye out!". Ralphie thought "Was there no end to this consiracy of irrational prejudice against Red Ryder and his Peacemaker?"
Then there's the stocking leg lamp...
The lep lamp came from this movie.
