Christmas Vacation

Another movie that is a must see each Christmas. I just love the subtle humor in scenes from within the movie. My absolute favorite is when Clark and Eddie are in the supermarket. Eddie keeps putting dog food into the cart and there is a point where Clark puts a package of light bulbs into the cart second before Eddie slams a bag of dog food directly on top of the light bulbs. Neither man reacts to that happening. They just keep going along. It is probably one of the must subtle and funny scenes of the whole move. This movie is also infinitely quotable. There is just so much in the movie and it endures through the years. Behind the original vacation movie this is the best one ever. Chevy Chase is certainly at the top of his game in this movie. See for yourself.

A Christmas Story

I love A Christmas Story. The main character Ralphie is wonderful. The voice over work is awesome and what other Christmas movie gets a whole day marathon. Everyone know the meaning of “Fra-G-LAy” (phonetical) and that it is Italian. Who hasn’t said “fudge” but didn’t say “Fudge” in front of their parents? You get to see the little guy win, then lose and then win again, just to go and shoot his eye out. There are so many fantastic things to say about this movie that it requires another viewing each and every year. So spend some time with Ralphie and his family and watch A Christmas Story. I love seeing it every year.
