You're gonna shoot your eye out!

My personal favorite and must see during the Christmas season is A Christmas Story. Based in the 1940's, Ralphie is a young boy, part of the average American family, who just wants one thing for Christmas, a Red Ryder BB Gun. However, every time he asks for one he always hears, "You're gonna shoot your eye out!" His mission throughout the movie is to prove to everyone that this is the best gift and that he should be able to have one. Throughout the film there are several memorable scenes. The importance of a triple dog dare! Who could forget the leg lamp?!? Never thought a grown man could be so obsessed with something so ridiculous, and when his wife becomes jealous of a lamp it is hysterical. All hell breaks loose when she ends up breaking the lamp "accidentally". Or their Christmas dinner in the Chinese restaurant, Fa ra ra ra... priceless. The infamous bundling Randy up for the cold weather where he can't even put his arms down. Ralphie using the F-word for the first time. In the end, Ralphie finally gets his BB gun and ends up shooting himself, good thing he was wearing glasses because if not he would have shot his eye out!
