25 Days of Christmas Movies: Day EightChristmas Vacation (1989)
"A fun, old-fashioned family Christmas..."
As I watched this movie tonight with the guys, I realized a lot of its charm has kind of worn off--maybe since I've seen it at least 20 times by now. I know when the jokes are coming and the physical comedy isn't quite so genius anymore. However, there are tons of great lines in it and it is definitely a Christmas classic, so here it is, folks. The Griswold family Christmas!
Soundtrack Highlights: "Christmas Vacation Theme," "Mele Kalikimaka," and "Hey, Santa Claus"
My favorite quotes:
- Aunt Bethany: "Is your house on fire Clark?" Clark: "No, Aunt Bethany, those are just the Christmas lights."
- Clark: "Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?" Eddie: "No Clark, I'm doing just fine."
- Eddie: "You surprised to see us Clark?" Clark: "Oh, Eddie... If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now."
- Margot: "Why is the carpet all wet, Todd?" Todd: "I don't know, Margot."
- Clark: "That's a lot of sap!"
- Ellen: "I don't know what to say, except it's Christmas and we're all in misery."
- Clark: "Hey, Kids, I heard on the news that an airline pilot spotted Santa's sleigh on it's way in from New York City." Eddie: "You serious, Clark?"

It's not going in our yard, Russ. It's going in our living room.
