The original movie's schedule starts December 1st. Just check your local theaters schedule. They don't appear to have done anything to it. Running time is identical.

Such a great cast of actors. Love Darren McGavin. RIP.

Of all the characters, I loved Ralph's teacher, she was the wisest of them all....she was onto them kids in her class!

I love how the actors all speak so positively about their experience on the film. They could be bitter that people know them from those roles but they seem to really embrace being a part of this movie

I recently saw the actor that played Randy and he's kind of "bitter". Mainly because he didnt really have many speaking parts

That's how you know you made a great story, when even the bully of the story is beloved

It's Christmas day and I'm literally watching it again, like every Christmas day, right now!!! Love this movie. It's one of the All Time classics.

Ever since they have started the 24 hrs of A Christmas Story it has played on my tv for 24 hrs straight.

I consider this one of my top 10 favorite films of all time. Peter Billingsley gives a perfect performance, as does Darren McGavin, and Jean Shepherd's narration is priceless.

I grew up watching this movie thinking it was filmed in the time that it takes place. It wasn't until the early 2000's that I realized that I'm near the same age as the characters! What a wonderful movie

What a treat this video is. A Christmas Story has been a solid generational Christmas tradition every year. With quotes from the movie saturating Christmas celebration almost all the month of December. A Christmas Story is a part of the history of Christmas now.

Ralphie grew up to be gorgeous!

I saw it in the theater in 1983....wonderful movie...brings back the fondest memories....I even watch it in the summer....it’s up there with its a wonderful life

HIGBEES was a real store chain in Cleveland when this was filmed, and they used the old downtown store location to film (the parade scene made the local news for shutting down Public Square).... The REAL Jean Shepard made a cameo appearance as the guy who told Ralphie where the line for Santa started...

💚🎄A Christmas Story Thank you!! for Our family tradition at my house every year on repeat #AChristmasStory entire Christmas Day.

And to think the film critics labeled it a flop. But it’s become a national icon for Christmas and is more popular today than when it was first released.

One of my favorites! My father-in -law loved this movie, I loved to hear him talk about it and relate it to his own childhood in Michigan. My daughter's HS drama dept put on the play and, and she played the teacher, it was pretty fun.

Christmas Story is a classic great movie!

Such innocent times! Jean shepherd was the centuries greatest story teller. I’m glad “A Christmas Story” become a Christmas classic. I hope the new movie lives up to and surpasses this. 😊🎉

This movie is an absolute classic, an icon! I have watched it every year since it came out. It reminds me of Christmas when I was a kid in the late '40s.

My husband and I always laugh and say “let’s have a Christmas Story Christmas dinner!”. We always go to a Chinese restaurant wherever we are and eat duck! 😂😂😂

I watched this every Christmas day. It's fun to watch this on Christmas day. A great movie.

Ayo, every Christmas for 24 hours, this movie shall not be turned off unless you want your fingers chopped

The bully in this looked so much like the bully in my 4th grade class. He even cried like him. 🤭 The narrator's voice is so soothing. I almost named my female cat Ralphie cuz she likes to sleep under the sink.

A CHRISTMAS STORY! Classic! LOVE IT!!

Love, love, love this movie. The cast is fantastic. The script is great. There’s no a Christmas without this movie. I look forward to it ever Christmas and I never get tired of it, never! It always brightens up my Holiday. 😊

TO the entire cast and crew...THANK YOU AND JOB WELL DONE!

I love this movie so much my brother bought me a red rider bee bee gun for Christmas and as I’m unwrapping the gift my family yells don’t shoot your eye out. Best Christmas ever!! Christmas story for life ❤

I love this movie been Watching every year around Christmas time for the past 20 or so years, I play it all day long and never tire of it. It really brought my family together even if only for a day. I'll never forget the memories this movie gave me.

Christmas Story was, and still is by far a gem to watch. A few Christmases ago, I got the Christmas Story Lamp, not the large size...it is a medium size leg lamp. My desire is to tour the Christmas story house, seeing as though I'm from the general Cleveland area. Thank you for this memory

It's funny how Peter's voice almost sounds like the Narrators (Ralphie as Adult) voice now.

This movie brings me such joy and tears to my eyes. I love it so much

I saw this in theater as a kid and that was great. Even more amazing was decades later as an English teacher in China renting a theater and watching this with Chinese students and some European teachers that had never seen it before. Just like that a movie I had seen dozens of time was new again. I laughed along with the theater full of people like it was the first time. And of course the Chinese thought that the singing at the Chinese restaurant was hilarious.

Every Christmas Eve my mom puts this on at her house and my grandparents and every year it’s the exact same moment. At my grandparents on Christmas Eve night it’s right in time for the Santa scene at Higbees, and the next morning we’re always up just in time to see Ralphie get the Bunny Pajamas. Lol.

I remember watching them film the original Christmas story! The Christmas story house is up the street from where I grew up

I watch this every year after thanksgiving , it kicks off the holiday season for me, i can’t wait for the new movie

Kids are still young guys. Twenty years is only the beginning 🤩loved Darren McGavin

I saw this in the theater when it was first released! Classic gem! Long love Ralphie!!!

It's our family tradition for the last 22 years to watch A Christmas Story while we put up the Christmas tree 🎄THANK YOU💓p.s. I have the leg lamp ornament on my tree😁

R. I.P Bob Clark.

Lest we forget, the guy in the Santa Claus line who says, “Hey, kid! Where do you think you’re goin’?” is the AUTHOR, Jean Shepherd. (He’s also the film’s narrator.)

My kids loved this movie! We watched it every Christmas 🎄 all day. Can’t wait to see the 2nd one.😊

This is Christmas gold!!!

Two Great movies to run back to back. Have the tree and decorations already up. My home is brand new, snow outside. Was a perfect time to watch.

I just watched it with my family and we Loved it ❤! I would love to see more older style classic type films make a comeback ❤

Great look at the actors and the back story. I can't wait to see the new sequel this year.

It was released in 1983. They're talking in this documentary that it's the 20th anniversary, so it must have been released in 2003. Next year will be its FORTIETH Anniversary. In 1983 it was looking back to 1940s America, now it's 40 years later still...

Love this! These candid interviews make this movie all the more worth its weight in gold!!

The kids are all grown and MOM passed away two yrs ago😞 now every time I see it I just break down and cry! But I still HAVE to see it every year! We bought the ten yr commemorative CD coplete with little Ralphie bobble head! I cherish it as one of the fondest memories that I will have as long as I live!

I'm from Michigan this was so much included in the Christmas Season we could identify with the snow the tongue stuck to the pole 😆 lol the dinner This movie will always be a classic👍❄🎄🎅🎁

I LOVED RALPHIE!! Such a crush🥰

"aren't you what's his face?" "I'm sorry. I'm not Tony Stark "

The comparison to the enduring legacy of "It's a Wonderful Life" is apt. We raised our children and grandchildren on "A Christmas Story" and I expect the tradition will continue with their children.

I saw it in the theater in Coram NY . I loved it and still watch every year on Christmas .

What a TERRIFIC update to one of my favorite Christmas movies. It's so nice to see how these young kids have grown up. The movie has become a real classic. I grew up in the 50's but certainly can relate as to how families and Christmas used to be celebrated. Everyone in the movie was so great in their characters. I'm watching it again and again and again this Christmss ! It's just a part of the "Holiday Season" ! I 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅
