National Lampoon's European Vacation

Yes,"Vacation" started it all on a good note,and "Christmas Vacation" is easily the most family friendly of the series (it is by far one of my all time favorite holiday movies), but European Vacation is my personal favorite in this series for many reasons. The antics here are outragous and Chevy Chase is hilarious. The comedy is clever and nonstop. It is paced better than the first. Don't even get me started on "Vegas Vacation". I used to really like that one until I realized recently that it was a missed opportunity and just wasn't very funny. This one has a ton of classic moments for me and really captures a fun 80's feel. Great comedy. Justice is served. Hey kids, there's Big Ben.
