Summary: The funniest Christmas movie ever!
Review: Honestly, I watch this movie fanatically on video around Christmas and yet, during its annual televised 24 hour Christmas marathon, I am still hooked to the TV. There are so many hysterical scenes that I never get tired of and still almost split my side laughing at! Both children and adults will find this movie completely entertaining. It is nostalgic, funny, realistic, and charming. Great fun!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME
Review: This has become not only my favorite movie at Christmas time, it is my ALL-TIME favorite. I recommend it to anyone that feels that Christmas is becoming a drag. It brings back memories of my childhood and always gets me to smile. Definitely an all-time hit.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not up to potential, but still great
Review: I bought this DVD version hoping that the transfer would be of a somewhat higher quality than the former MGM DVD release. Unfortunately, it looks like they may have simply taken the pan and scan version that Turner owns (the Turner logo is prominently featured) and runs each year on TBS, and simply cleaned the video and sound up a bit.

The video quality is fairly clean (no obvious scratches, dirt, hair lines, etc) and the sound is clear, but at times sounds like a slightly warped record (wavy notes).

In the area of supplements, the DVD comes only with alternate languages, subtitles, and the theatrical trailer.

This transfer is obviously not taken from the original print, and it's a shame, because it deserves it. The title, however, is worth the money regardless. The price is fair, and if a souped-up version is released in the future, it won't be for a year or two. In the meantime, given its price point, it's a good buy for those who love the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No Holiday would be complete without this DVD
Review: The classic tale revisited on DVD. I purchased this DVD, and was dissapointed that although the catalog says it is presented in widescreen, it is only in full screen format. Wonder why the studio re-released it without any changes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic
Review: This movie is fantastic, and is certainly one of the funniest that I have ever seen! The scene where Ralphie climbs over his little brother as they race upstairs to wash-up for dinner reminds me of when I used to do the same thing to my younger brother. This movie is a riot, and the department store scene with Santa is absolutely hysterical!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Caveat emptor.
Review: Contrary to what is listed about the new Warner DVD of "A Christmas Story", it is only a fullscreen version and does not include a widescreen one. I think Warner made a mistake in re-releasing it in the same limited format as the earlier MGM release.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie but it's NOT IN WIDESCREEN AS STATED
Review: Yes, it's a Christmas classic and one of the funniest movies ever. Witty and blunt and a take on the American family. But a warning to those of you who already own the earlier version and are planning to buy this version because of widescreen.....IT'S NOT IN WIDESCREEN AS STATED. That is an Amazon misprint. Even the box itself states "Standard (full-screen) only." Amazon still rules regardless.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A modern classic!
Review: I always crack up when I see this film!I like when the kid sticks his toungh to the flag pole and when Ralphie finally has enough of the bully Scott Fargas and teaches him a lesson!I have a question however.Wouldn't it have been neat when we were all kids and went to see Santa Clause if there was a slide to slide down like the one in the movie?I just thought I would mention it.This movie relates to the way things were in a lot of our childhood memories with a humorous twist.I find it very entertaining.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the Christmas classic
Review: This makes me laugh every time I see it. Excellent characters, great acting, and was that something surreal that just happened? I love the location and time period too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You can see the movie in French, Spanish or English!
Review: But ONLY if you buy this DVD. The Chinese waiter singing scene is REALLY hilarious in French!
