THE REF

Caroline: How can we both be in the marriage and I'm miserable and you're content?
Lloyd: Luck?

Lloyd: You know what I'm going to get you next Christmas, Mom? A big wooden cross, so that every time you feel unappreciated for your sacrifices, you can climb on up and nail yourself to it.

Caroline: In this dream I was served a platter, and on the platter was Lloyd's severed head with his penis stuck in his ear. And the waiter said, "Please try it. It's a delicacy in our country. But don't eat the penis, it's just garnish."
Dr. Wong: What do you think about this dream, Lloyd?
Lloyd: I think she should stop telling it to our friends at dinner parties.

Lloyd: Caroline, the day you see anything through to the end, I'll stick my own dick in my ear.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Marley's Maid: Pardon me, if you can find the grace to. I just come from Mr. Marley's with a message for Mr. Scrooge.
Bob: Well can I give it to him?
Marley's Maid: Oh please your great kind self dear. I'm to say that Mr. Marley ain't expected to live through the night and that if Mr. Scrooge wants to take his leave of him he should nip along smartly or there won't be no Mr. Marley to take leave of as we know the use of the word. He's breathing very queer when he does breathe atall.

Undertaker: It's poetic justice. He frightened everybody away from him when he was alive and now he benefits us when he's dead.

Goof: When Scrooge looks in the mirror on Christmas morning, a camera operator is also visible in the reflection.

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE

Bleached corn flakes were used to simulate snow. The sound was so loud that the outdoor scenes with falling snow have no dialogue.

As Uncle Billy is leaving George's house drunk, it sounds as if he stumbles over some trash cans on the sidewalk. In fact, a crew member dropped some equipment right after Uncle Billy left the screen. Both actors continued with the scene ("I'm alright, I'm alright!") and director Frank Capra decided to use it in the final cut.

Lionel Barrymore convinced James Stewart to take the role of George, despite him feeling he was not up to it so soon after WWII.

Goof: George's pipe disappears when talking to Violet in his office.

A CHRISTMAS STORY

Ralphie: I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!

Dad: Where's the glue?
Mom: We're out of glue.
Dad: You used up all the glue on purpose!

Goof: 1980s cars can be seen passing by the school at the flagpole scene.
