If there was a teenage male equivalent to the saccharine Lifetime romance "Christmas" movies, it would be A Christmas Story. I'm convinced that its popularity comes from two TV execs making a bet much like the one from Trading Places.
One says, "If we broadcast any movie over and over long enough, the American public will learn to love it and proclaim it a classic."
The other exec replies, "Poppycock and gobbledygook. Impossible."
"Any movie," the first exec says, "You can pick any movie and we will broadcast it until it's a classic."
The other exec responds, "A Christmas Story. No one can stand watching that one. Good luck with it!"
Sure enough, the American public, desperate for tradition and foundation, brainwashed by repetition, has fallen for it. The first exec won the bet.
