i need the christmas story ( the original )?

A Christmas Story is a 1983 semi-biographical film based on the short stories of author Jean Shepherd collected in the books In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash and Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories. Originally released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer; Time Warner (through Turner Entertainment Co.) now has ownership of the film due to Ted Turner's purchase of MGM's pre-1985 library and Time Warner's subsequent purchase of Turner Entertainment. However, it should be noted that producer-director Bob Clark is said to still hold 20% of the film's rights.

[edit] Plot and major credits

The film relates the tale of Ralphie Parker (played by Peter Billingsley), who wants a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas (specifically, "an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and 'this thing', which tells time") and will go to any lengths to get it despite the numerous adult admonitions of "you'll shoot your eye out." Over the course of the film, Ralphie hides a Red Ryder advertisement in his mother's magazine, fibs about the spotting of a dangerous animal in the neighborhood, blurts his desire outright, writes a theme on the subject, and asks an impatient Santa just as the department store closes.

Subplots include the Old Man (Darren McGavin) entering a contest and winning a "major award" in the form of a leg lamp (much to his wife's displeasure), Ralphie getting his Little Orphan Annie decoder ring, and Ralphie dealing with the neighborhood bully, Scut Farkus, played by Zack Ward. There are also numerous vignettes, including the Old Man's battle with the furnace, Ralphie not saying "fudge" in a moment of stress, and disaster with the Christmas dinner, courtesy of the Bumpuses' dogs.

The movie also starred Melinda Dillon as Ralphie's mom, and Ian Petrella as his little brother Randy. The movie was written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown, and Bob Clark and directed by Bob Clark. Shepherd appears in the film in the department store scene, when he points Ralphie to the end of the line of kids waiting to see Santa. He also provides the movie's narration from the perspective of an adult Ralphie. This narrative style was later used in the dramedy The Wonder Years.

Pole scene

One of the more famous scenes in the film involves a risky dare, which Ralph watches with the others, over whether or not your tongue immediately sticks to a pole covered with ice. When Flick responds to the "triple dog dare" and sticks his tongue, he is proven wrong, and begins to memorably scream in terror (he later is saved by firemen). The scene is still remembered as a classic moment in the film.

The Grinch, Elf, and The Santa Clause a million-three are a couple of of them however I cannot particularly don't forget many others. If I had been to mention what I do not like might be The Nightmare earlier than Christmas.

The original Christmas story can be found here:

then you can summarise it yourself.

Saint Nicholas (Sinter Klaas, Santa Claus) was a rich merchant who took pity on a neighbour who had three daughters and no way of raising the money for a dowry for even one. The neighbour was too proud to accept charity, so Nicholas climbed onto his roof three nights running and dropped gold pieces down the chimney into the girls' stockings, which they had hung to dry in the inglenook. The third night he was seen - there's the origin of Santa coming down the chimney to leave gifts in the stockings you've hung from the mantlepiece!

yeah, those are all neat, but - i think what you are looking for is the story of a pawn shop owner in old England (yes, they have been around for millennium) gave small bags of coins to the three daughters of someone so that they would not have to go into prostitution. if you look at the signs on the front of pawn shops that is what the three golden bags or balls of gold hanging from a hook represent (the pawn shop owners name was Noel)
