That movie is the first DVD I bought (1998). Prior to the DVD, my family always checked the TV schedules for air dates. It is a family tradition to watch it at least once a year between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

And because all they ever ate was meatloaf, red cabbage and mashed potatoes.

Except Randy who ate nothing.

"In the heat of battle my father wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan. "

One of the all time best movie quotes....

Sorry, but this movie is the closest I can come to reliving my childhood. It gives the feel of authentic America in the late ‘40s throught the late ‘50s.

I know. I was there.

Chinese turkey! (Actually, after the dogs ate the turkey, they ate duck at a Chinese restaurant.)

Brilliant writing, perfect casting, oh-so-real look at a ‘normal’ family back then.

And didn’t Ralphie grow up good!
