National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (Jeremiah Chechik, 1989)
Clark Griswold (Chevy
Chase) is an upper middle class father of two teenagers Audrey (Juliette Lewis) and Russ (John Galecki) and he wants to throw a
classic Holiday just like when he was 10 years old back in 1959 with his entire extended family
including his uncle Lewis (William
Hickey) his aunt Bethany (Mae
Questel) and his wife’s (Beverly D’Angelo)
cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid). Add in Sam McMurray, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, John
Randolph, Diane Ladd, E. G. Marshall, Nicholas Guest, Brian
Doyle-Murray, and the beautiful Nicolette
Scorsese and you have my family’s Holiday favorite.
