Love this movie- fun for everyone. Alabama Theatre christmas movies is a tradition. The theatre has been restored beautifully and has magnificent Christmas decorations. Fun to see a movie as they were once shown, with a cartoon and a sing a long with Big Bertha, the Wurlitzer theater organ.
Alabama Theatre is always a great experience. Our students had a great time.
My wife is a total fanatic for Christmas Story, and I am big fan as well. I got this for her birthday gift and was hoping it would live up to the hype. It did that and more! The format was perfect. You first watch the movie in full on the big screen. Nice touch to keep continuity with the film. Too many times, during the "marathons"and other commentary type events, the interruptions leave something to be desired. Not here. Watch full movie and then Peter enters the picture. Peter did an excellent job at presenting the materials. Outstanding speaker and really showed his passion for the film and respect for the audience. The trivia and items learned about the film are fascinating and only adds the "lore"of the movie and certainly offer something more to talk about this Christmas season. If this event is offered again next holiday season, we are going again and this time bringing even more members of the family. Top notch event. Highly recommended!!!
My daughter & I got to meet Peter Billingsley (aka Ralphie Parker) from "A Christmas Story". This movie has been a long Christmas tradition in my household since I was a kid. It was the "icing on the cake"being able to share this experience with my now adult daughter. Thanks to my hubby for the early Christmas gift. The venue was very nice & personable.
Peter Billingsley was awesome! So down to earth and even signed everyone's poster at the meet and greet, which was a complete surprise! He answered questions for over an hour after the show. The only disappointment was the screen that the venue used for the movie. It was pretty small.
The movie showing was good. The screen could have been bigger but it wasn’t that kind of theater. The program and q&a were very informative. My wife and I really enjoyed it.
If you’re a fan of this film, this is a must see to remind you why it’s a classic family holiday film.
Seeing The Christmas Story on the big screen, in a magnificent theater was amazing! Hearing the commentary of scenes and back story from "Ralphie"was so incredible! Peter Billingsly was awesome!!! Highly recommend!!
Loved watching the movie with other fans and hearing Peter Billingsly tell stories and answer questions was a lot of fun
