THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION. Every Thursday in 2012, I am connecting movies through actors.

March is all MUSICALS!

In honor of Alfred Hitchcock's death on April 29, 1980, April is dedicated to Hitch, and all my favorites.

A Christmas Story, 1983






Director: Bob Clark
Stars: Peter Billingsley, Melinda Dillon, Darren McGavin





"Some men are Baptists, others Catholics. My father was an Oldsmobile man."

This one is a classic! And if you are one of those people who hasn't seen it, you are seriously missing out!

It's based on the novel In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash by Jean Shepherd, and the narration is actually done by Shepherd. He tells the story of one Christmastime of his childhood, and how he longed for a Red Rider BB gun. It's a little mix of stories during Christmas time, but they all come together just beautifully, and the narration is absolutely hysterical.
