I gained nothing but respect for Flick because he wasn't a snitch

[smallmovieworld]

"Flick? Flick who?" Hands down Jean Shepherd's best line delivery of the entire film, kills me every time haha!

[Wasserkaktus]

I love how Raphie and Schwartz were the only kids who not only didn't get up with the rest of the class to look out the window, but also looked awkward and guilty as hell in the process. It's perfect.

[calenajackson]

Don’t leave me come back 🤣🤣 but the bell rang. That was so messed up

[buckdouglas]

1:21 the best/worst thing about this scene is how convincing his screams are. Best because it really sells it but worst because when you're like 5 and feel sympathetic for him its heart breaking to hear such legit screams for help.

33 years later, Flick got revenge on Schwartz by triple dog daring him to ride the Ramp, angry about Schwartz’s beer tap.

"Well go on smartass and do it"😂😂😂😂😂

This is one of those movies that you never seek out but end up having seen 900 times. This and ‘don’t tell mom the babysitters dead’.

[benjaminrogers]

Let this be a lesson to all of us
Never triple dog dare or dee double dare or even triple dog dee double dare anyone to put their tongue on something made of metal which is frozen during winter

A fun fact: Teacher was 6 months pregnant but wanted the job and they wanted her but the story line did not call for a pregnant teacher. So they padded her up to make her a bit bigger and you can't even tell.

This has always been my favorite Christmas movie. One time I was outside in what the temperature felt like 5 degrees F and I stuck my tongue to a wheelbarrow outside in the back yard. I would’ve been stuck for a while if my dog didn’t start licking my hands and made me start laughing. But when I realized I was stuck I just started thinking of this scene and was trying to figure out how to get out of that situation. Then I did the same thing AGAIN and got my lips frozen to a piece of metal. I thought it was hilarious, but my mom was mad at me fire it like I forced somebody else to do it. Then she scolded me and said “the kid who got straight A’s in the second quarter…”
Oh well, I learned my lesson TWICE.

Don't lick a flagpole during winter. It's a very bad idea.

[margotplumadore]

😂 I have to say, "I am so happy to see you." I hope you are able to be extravaganzalorious with Puffer Wallace and Patti Dwobeng.

[RiverSprite]

Believe it or not, his teacher is actually my favorite character. I love her reaction when she sees him outside, the way she says "oh my GOD!". 😂 She looks like every photo of my great-grandmother back in the day. 😂

[TheDarkarrow]

Well Flick brought it on himself when he was talking trash about Schwartz’s old man being a liar. 😂

Seeing that old brick school building in the middle of winter, with the kids playing out in the snow, and the Christmas decorations inside is like a time machine for me back to my middle school days. My middle school was a beautiful old brick building in the center of my small town. It was built in the 1920s and was easily the most beautiful building I’ve ever been inside of for an extended period of time. Going to school there felt like being inside of some old castle, like a real life version of Harry Potter. It had big grand staircases at the entrances, a beautiful auditorium on the 2nd floor with big red curtains, a big old gym, and all kinds of old unused areas that were talked about as a kind of lore. Kids said there was an old unused pool in the basement that nobody was allowed near. I just absolutely loved that building. It was beautiful in every season. Now it’s only used for special education and a faculty building. I think it’s a dam shame. The 2 middle schools in my town have been combined into 1. It’s just a big, soulless modern building that looks exactly like every other building that has been built in the last 20 years

Loved this scene. If you look closely at 2:37 when he’s swinging his arms, his tongue comes off for a split second.

I find it hilarious that Flick needs to be rescued by the fire department because they can’t get his tongue off of the flagpole.

[jaredtaylor]

Schwartz: Ralphie what are gonna do?!
Ralphie: I don't know, the bell rang.
They ran off and left Flick there. Savages!
