Written by Hughes, Vacation was the movie that introduced us to the
Griswold family. The movie was so popular that it spawned a few more
installments like European Vacation, Christmas Vacation and Vegas
Vacation. This one has a special place in my heart since it was the
first and most original. I would list Christmas Vacation (1989) as a
very close second though. Join the Griswold family as they embark on
a cross-country road trip to Walley World, stopping along the way to
view such important sites as the world's largest ball of twine.
Among the mishaps are a dead aunt, dead dog and a police raid. The
movie showcases the talents of: Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, John
Candy, Randy Quaid, Imogene Coca and Anthony Michael Hall. |
