A Christmas Story (1983)
Who would've ever thought that a director with "Porky's" -- and its sequel -- to his credit could deliver something as entertaining as "A Christmas Story?" Well, director Bob Clark III did just that, capturing on the screen this hilarious story of a young boy who wants nothing more than a Red Rider BB Gun for Christmas. Peter Billingsley is "Ralphie," the boy who struggles through the reality and fantasies of his 1950s youth in Gary, Indiana, and Darren McGavin plays his father, affectionately referred to in the narration as "the old man." There are many funny and memorable scenes in this film, which can be found on just about every cable channel throughout December.
