A great movie. Really captured the mood of that era.

Unlike Billingsly, Scott Schwartz (Flick) went on to a career in porn.

Hopefully he's not still sticking his tongue to a pole.

It doesn't mention his role as "Messy Marvin" in the Hershey's chocolate syrup ads!

What I like about "A Christmas Story" is that it's throwback to the good old days of Hollywood, a nice family film, pure Americana. Such a film today would never get green-lighted. Liberals would scream bloody murder at Billingsley's character requesting a BB gun. And the scene where he kicking the bully's behind? Forget it - the school would make him attend sensitivity classes. And the dogs running around the house eating up the turkey? PETA would get mad as well.

All I see in post #11 is someone calling you a bandwidth-stealing jerk.
