 | | 28. Christmas Story (2-Disc Special Edition) | | | Starring: Peter Billingsley Director: Bob Clark | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/5/2004 | User Rating: 5 |  | A Christmas Story - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/24/2008 3:31 PM | |
For the uninitiated, A Christmas Story ranks as the best holiday movie ever, better even than It's a Wonderful Life. Based on the book In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash, it's a period piece set in roughly 1940, telling a series of vignettes about a young boy that's 9 years old in the weeks leading up to Christmas. He faces down bullies, witnesses a dare match over whether a tongue will stick to a frozen metal pole, gets his mouth washed out with soap, and sees the holiday turkey devoured by dogs... and all he wants is a BB gun! But as everyone tells him, "You'll shoot your eye out, kid!" read the full review | |

 | | 37. Back To the Future | | | Starring: Michael J. Fox Director: Robert Zemeckis | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/10/2009 | | Back to the Future - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/30/2009 4:47 PM | |
A classic adventure that holds up perfectly today aside from a few green-screen gaffes, Back to the Future is a quintessential '80s flick that combines science fiction, action, comedy, and romance all into a perfect little package that kids and adults will both devour. I know I did when I saw this film as a teenager, anxiously wishing I could zip back in time too to stand up to a bully, right some wrongs, and otherwise fix the mistakes that I made... never mind my parents. Michael J. Fox is perfect in the lead role (though the film was original half-shot with Eric Stoltz in the lead), but Christopher Lloyd ("Damn! Damn damn!") steals the show as Doc Brown, whose Delorean time machine enables all the madcap adventures that follow. read the full review | |
