I've watched A Christmas Story every
year on christmas for almost as long as I can remember. It is by far
the movie that I have seen the most. I know this movie inside and
out. The name of the girl who raises her hand to point out to Ms.
Shields that Flick is still stuck to the flagpole is Esther Jane.
Actors are credited for playing Flash Gordon and Ming the Merciless
in the closing credits, because of a dream sequence that in the
original edit, but was cut from the final version of the film. My
family quotes this movie year round. When my dad won a bag at
Niketown in Chicago for shooting free throws, he called it a “major
award.” Almost all of my aunts and uncles own dogs, and when they
all come to visit my mom calls them “The Bumpuses.” This movie is
ingrained into my like unlike any other film, and I wouldn't have it
any other way.
