A Christmas Story (1983)

Never has a child wanted a BB gun more than nine-year-old Ralphie Parker. Correction: Never has a child wanted a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle more than Ralphie Parker. Little Ralphie, played by Peter Billingsley in child form and voiced by Jean Shepherd in adult form, goes to great lengths to make sure he gets (and keeps) his dream Christmas present, even lying straight to his mother's face about nearly shooting his eye out. While A Christmas Story is a beloved classic for most kids born before 1990, it also provided a truly poignant holiday lesson: Never, ever lick a pole during wintertime.
