National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation [1989]

starring: Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Juliette Lewis, Johnny Galecki, John Randolph
directed by: Jeremiah S. Chechik

Release Date November 05, 2007
This is a great movie `cause it has a little something for everyone. I watch it with my boyfriend (who is pretty reluctant to anything too "christmassy"), because I want to see as many christmasmovies as possible in december, and this is one out of a few he is willing to watch with me. It`s funny and entertaining enough to keep him sitting still, and it also has enough christmas spirit to make me happy! :)

The Chevy Chase National Lampoon's Vacation Collection (4 Disc Box Set) [1983]

starring: Chevy Chase, Jason Lively, Mel Smith, Eric Idle, Diane Ladd

Release Date October 17, 2005
In this box you get 4 full length Chevy Chase films;
Vacation is an excellent film where the Griswolds are driving across the country to a theme park. There are many laughs along the way, from car crashes, dog deaths, family deaths, theiving and holding John Candy at Gun Point.
European Vacation is probably the weakest film in the series, and isn't as funny, but it does feature the Griswolds traveling across, Britain where they get into trouble at the B&B and at Stone Henge, France where they visit the Efle Tower, and Germany where Clark gets into a fight. Theres also an appearnce by Eric Idle in this film too.
Christmas Vaction is most likely the best, and is full of laughs from start to end. It's simply Hilarious!

Three Amigos [1987]

starring: Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Martin Short, Patrice Martinez, Philip Gordon
directed by: John Landis

Release Date January 08, 2001
Take the title characters from "The Three Musketeers," place them in Hollywood during the Golden Age of Vaudeville, and add a little SNL spice, and what do you have? The Three Amigos! The movie opens in 1916, when a peaceful Mexican village is threatened by the evil El Guapo (Alfonso Arau). When young Rodrigo (Philip Gordon) watches a Three Amigos movie and sees his heroes save a village - a Shakespearean "play within a play" - he sends them a telegraph immediately. Little does he realize that Lucky Day (Steve Martin), Dusty Bottoms (Chevy Chase), and Ned Nederlander (Martin Short) only play these Amigos on stage, not in real life. Moreover, they have been banished from Goldsmith Pictures by its owner, played by Joe Mantegna....

Caddyshack [1980]

starring: Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, Ted Knight, Michael O'Keefe
directed by: Harold Ramis

Release Date June 28, 1999
I first saw this back in the early 80s and although it was indisputably crude and juvenile it appealed to my own crude, juvenile sense of humour. It sort of dropped off my radar for years until I got talking to a work mate about films we remembered from childhood and Caddyshack cropped up as a shared highlight. We then spent the next few weeks trying to drop in quotes from the movie into conversations and memos.

So it's difficult for me to be objective about this one. I can see that the jokes are mostly lame, the subplots are predictable and the acting rarely rises above the adequate. But I still can't help laughing like a drain whenever I watch it.

It's probably one for nostalgists who remember when we thought Chevy Chase was ... Read More:

National Lampoon's Vacation [1983]

starring: Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Imogene Coca, Randy Quaid, Anthony Michael Hall
directed by: Harold Ramis

Release Date June 21, 1999
I can only echo what other reviewers have said about this movie. Hotwire complains that it isn't in the same league as Hot Shots. Well, that's right, it's a totally different kind of movie. Hot Shots is built on the continual visual gags and movie piss-takes that have been apparent since Airplane, and include Top Secret, Naked Gun, Spy Hard, Dracula - Dead And Loving It, and a million and one other Zucker and Zucker movies. To compare this film with Hot Shots would be like comparing Psycho with Scream - they're both horrors but they aren't meant to be in any way similar.

This movie is one of the John Hughes feelgood films, and plays on the fact that Chevy Chase, as everyday hero Clark W Griswald, is what American and English kids find more embarrassing ... Read More:

Fletch/Fletch Lives

starring: Chevy Chase, Hal Holbrook, Julianne Phillips, Tim Matheson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
directed by: Michael Ritchie

Release Date December 26, 2006
I loved Fletch, from the moment I saw the first film I thought that this was a great film, and even the second one rated highly in my mind. Perhaps it is a touch of 80's nostalgia (apparently a rather typically UK thing) but I always thought these films weren't as loved as some commedians vehicles to stardom (Eddie Murphy for example). I was so happy to see that I could get these two films together, it's just a shame that there weren't any extras, not even a trailer!

Zoom: Academy For Superheroes [2006]

starring: Tim Allen, Courteney Cox, Kevin Zegars, Chevy Chase, Rip Torn
directed by: Peter Hewitt

Release Date April 30, 2007
This was quite a good film, made better by Courtney Cox (friends), Chevy Chase (fletch, vacation movies) and Rip Torn (men in black).

Tim Allen does O.K. in this film as well. The plot is a bit cheesy, but the characters make up for that. A good (cheap) entertaining film.
