Your Turn

With the soon to be filming remake of Vacation, I thought I would ask what is your favorite Vacation movie? If you have not seen any of them, I would settle for your favorite sequel of any movie.

  7. European Vacation was my fave hands down

  8. Chevy Chase's douchery has ruined those movies for me. Plus, I dont find incest funny.

  9. Ohhh man... Christmas is first just because, and I then Summer and European (I did the same thing the first time I drove on a roundabout). I haven't seen any of the others.

    I love that Ed Helms is going to be in it. He's the perfect blend of awkwardly funny. (And I'm still HATING what they're doing to The Office in its farewell season. Downright mean.)

  10. Vegas is my favorite. Wayne Newton and Nick Papagiorgio cracked me up.

  11. @auntliddy - me too! (about Chevy Chase). Never seen any of them just because he's in them. Didn't know there was an incest theme.

    Christmas Vacation. Hands down bar none. "I'm going to catch it in the coat, and smack it w a hammer."

  13. Christmas! @mmshukla I also say that and I always say It is a bit nipply out when it's cold. I could quote that movie all day long!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Never seen a vacation movie. IDK if it counts as a sequel, but I would pick Godfather 2 as my favourite.

  15. European Vacation!

  16. Christmas without a doubt - can watch it all year and still cry from laughing so hard. Original would be second & the a tough call on 3rd/4th. I remember going to see Stonehenge many moons ago & my Dad was like "look, its still there. I thought Clark Griswold knocked it down" - of course, I was a mortified teenager then, but if I go there now I'd probably say the same thing!

  17. The original. The rest in order for me are Christmas, European, and Vegas.

    Izzie, what's your Office gripe? I'm not sure I follow...

    All I remember from those movies is Christy Brinkley stalking Chevy Chase ( even as a kid I thought it was creepy ) and I seem to remember a dead grandma in the car?

    Favorite sequel of all time? Easy!!!!! Spiderman 2!! My favorite of the series BY FAR! ( ok going to crawl back to my nerd hole )

  20. Original. I love John Candy. Christmas is in second for me.

    ReplyDelete
  21. EuroXmas too.... didn't he and the Mom have and affair? Beverly D'Angelo? Great movie.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Christie wasn't stalking him that I can see. They were just kept ending up in the same place at the same time.

    Aunt Edna was the one dead in the car and later tied to the roof. And later left on a chair on the porch in the rain. Tough day for Aunt Edna.

  23. Favorite sequel?
    Empire Strikes Back.
    Terminator 2 would be second...

    ReplyDelete
  24. Incest? Okay I am so outta the loop! Can someone please explain that part to me. #clueless

      Cousin Vicki: I'm going steady, and I French kiss.
      Audrey Griswold: So? Everybody does that.
      Cousin Vicki: Yeah, but Daddy says I'm the best at it.

  25. They need to STOP. leave the Vacation movies alone, and let them be great!

    ReplyDelete
  26. The original Vacation.

    Favorite sequel? Toy Story 3/Aliens/Silence of the Lambs? Can't pick.

    ReplyDelete
  27. JoElla, in the original Audrey is asked if she has ever French Kissed. She says yes, and her cousin (Jane Krakowski) replies, "yeah, but Daddy says I'm the best."


    I still love that movie

    ReplyDelete
  29. oh yeah - favorite sequel(s): Empire Strikes Back, Godfather Part II, Desperado

    ReplyDelete
  30. European Vacation for sure!

    ReplyDelete
  31. OMG Pairs I totally forgot about that! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwww

    ReplyDelete
  32. Christmas. This is a yearly classic with my whole family. One of my favorite scenes is when the squirrel comes out of the Christmas tree.

    ReplyDelete
  33. The First Vacation was my favorite. Writing visual jokes is easy but writing funny dialogue is a lot harder. John Hughes could write the funniest dialogue. The movie was just pure Fun. The sequel was lazy and sexist. Christmas Vacation is very good - but I've seen it sooooooo many times I feel I need at least a 5 year break from it.

    Favorite sequel - Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom (don't start with me about that 'but it's a prequel' stuff) and Godfather Part II.

    ReplyDelete
  34. One of my dad's favorite movies of all time was Weekend at Bernie's 2. Apparently it's much better than Weekend at Bernie's 1

    ReplyDelete
  35. Christmas.... It's gonna be the hap hap happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby danced with Danny fucken Kay....

    ReplyDelete
  36. Christmas for sure...I know the entire script at this point.

    ReplyDelete
  37. European Vacation for sure! Whenever we're having trouble finding a place it's always "Look kids: Big Ben. Parliament." And when there's nothing on TV (especially at a hotel) it's "God there is nothing on but the cheese channel!"

    Best sequel? Godfather II and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

    ReplyDelete
  38. whichever one has the line "My daddy says I'm the best French kisser!"

    ReplyDelete
  39. It's a toss up between the original and Christmas Vacation. But, I'll pick Christmas, simply because it's a tradition to watch it every year and I reference it every time drama breaks out at a holiday.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Favorite sequels:

    Godfather 2
    Terminator 2
    The second Bourne movie (Ultimatium?)
    Aliens

    Christmas hands down. Know it by heart. "Shitter's Full!"

    ReplyDelete
  42. The original Vacation is my favorite. Sorry, but I refuse to watch the new one. Why mess with a good thing?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Eurotrip. Scotty Doesn't know

    ReplyDelete
  44. European Vacation. "My family and I are looking for sex."

    ReplyDelete
  45. European!! No question.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I didn't like the Vacation movies, but I did love Caddyshack. Bill Murray is awesome. I can hear that 'I'm All Right' and still see that gofer dance.

    ReplyDelete
  47. That is a toughie. I've seen them all but it's hard to choose between European Vacation and Christmas Vacation. Those are my favourites.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Vegas, Baby! I know it's cheesy, but I love it.

    ReplyDelete
  49. They are all good, my #1 is Vegas.

    The original movie was intended to be more raunchy, and it was, but the family theme caught fire and the sequels adjusted accordingly.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Christmas, but I love the original as well. And watching the Vegas one is where we discovered that my dog does not care for Minnie Riperton's "Loving You" at all.

    I am ok with another remake, but I think Ed Helms is miscast.
