National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) is a movie in my DVD collection that I recently watched on HBOMAX. The storyline for this film follows a family road trip from Chicago to Los Angeles to visit a famous theme park. As they stop to see various attractions and family members along the way they discover the most simple tasks may not be so simple...
This movie is directed by Harold Ramis (Caddyshack) and stars Chevy Chase (Fletch), Beverly D'Angelo (American History X), Brian Doyle-Murray (JFK), John Candy (The Great Outdoors), Christie Brinkley (Jack and Jill), Eugene Levy (American Pie), Frank McRae (License to Kill) and Anthony Michael Hall (The Breakfast Club).
This move makes you feel good from the opening song. The soundtrack and cast for this is absolutely outstanding, from top to bottom. There is so much creative comedic content in this that is gold - from the video games opening, the car exchange, the Dodge City scenes, Aunt Edna, the desert sequence, I could go on forever. The cameos by Christy Brinkley and John Candy are legendary. Randy Quaid is always awesome in these movie. And what can I say about the Beverly D'Angelo shower scene?
Everything about this movie is sheer perfection. This is a timeless masterpiece that is an absolute must see. I would score this a 10/10 and strongly recommend it.
