What passage of the holiday season would be complete without at least one viewing of this immortal classic. This movie is (or at least at one time was) one of the two most popular films among prison inmates (the other one: Texas Chainsaw Massacre), probably because its portrait of childhood is at once sweet enough to be comforting but also sarcastic enough to keep it from getting to cloying. Everyone I know who’s seen it not only likes it, but also has his or her favorite scene (my personal preference is for the tire-changing sequence). Buy the tape
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
