I *love* that movie. I'd be hard pressed to choose a favorite line, let alone scene. Actually, I have a favorite scene and it's quite serene. It's the one where the parents are sitting on the couch on Christmas night with only the tree lights on and it's snowing out the window. Ah, in that scene all is right with the world (but for that moment).<BR/><BR/>And I met Ali in Cleveland. What an incredible man he truly is.<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>~Toni~Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318409820949377086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-44991912847792749722008-03-14T23:52:00.000-03:002008-03-14T23:52:00.000-03:00I couldn't stand The Three Stooges until I married...I couldn't stand The Three Stooges until I married my husband.<BR/>My Dad loved Abbott and Costello and Bob Hope and Bing Crosby Road movies. <BR/>And "A Christmas Story" is HUGE in our house.Jennifer McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03613714863799177911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-43568418176948101902008-03-14T17:10:00.000-03:002008-03-14T17:10:00.000-03:00That fight scene was because Harrison Ford had the...That fight scene was because Harrison Ford had the runs.

They say in the bonus material that Harrison Ford was wicked sick. When it came to this scene he was so beat that he came up with the solution rather than actually fight.
