Feature Film: A Christmas Story (2 hours)

See A Christmas Story (1983), directed by Bob Clark and starring Darren McGavin and Peter Billingsley, on the big screen with state-of-the-art projection and sound at the Barrington Public Library Theater.
Ralphie is an obsessed little lad. Christmas is coming, and he absolutely has to have “an official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock, and this thing which tells time!” Whew. He’s doing everything he can to sell the idea, but his parents are resisting because they’re afraid that he’ll shoot his eye out. And convincing mom and dad to give him a BB gun is hardly his only problem with themes to write, dares to make, bullies to avoid, a whiny kid brother and a hot-blooded dad. It’s tough being a kid. And sometimes it’s really, really funny, too.
The Strange and Magical Things Happen on Warm Summer Nights film series runs on Tuesdays, July 6, 13, 20 & 27 and August 3, 10, 17 & 24.
