National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation: 30th Anniversary: Casting

Best Christmas movie of all time

The original Vacation is legendary, but Christmas Vacation has solidified itself as a timeless Christmas classic.
It’s just not Christmas without the Griswolds.

Holy crap Chevy Chase is almost unrecognizable

Who else watches this year round?

I probably watch this movie at least 10 times over the course of December. I usually will watch it on Christmas night and I end it the same way every year. I always say, "Until next year Clark." I've been watching it every Christmas since 1989!

Absolutely

Ever Christmas

What always stands out to me is that whenever I listen to actors talk in real life, they always seem like some of the most bland and uninteresting people I’ve ever listened to lol.

I did

I love Beverly D'Angelo. She is still beautiful and talented. All of the cast are talents. So great to see the lovely and talented Diane Ladd.

WHY ISN'T RANDY QUAID THERE!!!

This movie is so well cast. It is, in my opinion Chevy’s finest work. This was the perfect vehicle for him and he made the most of it. As great as the cast is, this is his movie. My favorite scene is with him and Ruby Sue. It’s such a sweet scene. The movie hooks me in every time…

I watched it quite a bit this year

Everyone I know!!!

as an English kid growing up I always wished I could have had the griswald kind of happy nuclear family, or like that 70s show

First time I saw this was in a bunker in Desert storm with 200 Marines. The swimming pool scene got many cheers and then jeers. Freedom!!

It’s nippily out “ !!!!
Omg 😅😅😅❤

My families Favorite Christmas movie ever!!!!!!!❤

I wonder what Chevy Chase is really like, ive read plenty about him being obnoxious.

Juliette Lewis does bring up something interesting. Beverly D'Angelo did work with her dad, Geoffrey in 'Every Which Way But Loose'.

Why tf was the dude from Broken Lizard running this panel? 😂

I guess randy quaid to right wing for these lefty wackos lol

i also loved Juliet Lewis in Mixed Nuts 1994

S###### full

This and Just friends are my favs. Just friends is hysterical too

Ridiculous that they haven't done a follow up with this cast. It'd be a goldmine.

Chevy Chase is lost. He said Harold Ramus directed Christmas Vacation, but of course it wasn’t directed by Ramus. Apparently he was suffering from memory loss at this point in his life - very sad. This was fun to watch since I love the movie and watch it several times each year.

I bet Johnny would love to jump in bed with his TV sister today....I know I would.

Well that was awkward …for us and everyone involved 😂😂

My favorite 4th of July movie! Too bad this was completely uninteresting and that last lady was sheer poop

Diane seems so old

Had no idea the guy from big bang theory was russ

If I had a rubber hose, I'd beat you...

"get OFF me--you little FUNGUS!!!"

The shitter was full lmfao😂

My sister's and I used to routinely watch this no matter what month it was.

Where's Randy Quaid. Cousin Eddie.

Merry Christmas shitter was full 🤣🤣

These things make me feel sick watching

This was a great movie and Ive had a thing for Beverly D'Angelo for decades and would still love to bang the hell out of her and Juliette Lewis is a crush of mine too big time

Best Christmas Movie ever made!!

“We needed a coffin, um I mean a tree” 😂

Love this! Wonderful movie and cast. I know we all age and who knows what health issues people face but Chevy looks so bloated to me

Of course the old woman crying saying no work for women in Hollywood lol

I was watching a wonderful documentary on brain surgeons and their work at a major American hospital. The show featured a contest with the staff showing off Christmas sweaters during the holidays. One of the surgeons had the standard red/white/green but in the centre was a knitted motorhome and the text underneath said “that there’s an RV!”. Best inside joke ever!

Fkn totally fell for Juliette then...💘💜💘

Johnny has become such a leftist cuck! 😂😂😂😂 I love the movie

I honestly didn’t know Lenard from the Big bang theory was the kid in Christmas vacation lol

Christmas wouldn't be complete without watching this movie.
