National Lampoon's Vacation (1983): Summer

July 13, 2017

I mean, how can you do a summer movie series without this classic. This road trip comedy follows the Griswold family on their road trip to "Wally World", a family friendly amusement park. Like most road trip films, the family encounters a series of comedic snafus. This movie, and its sequels, are comedy classics, and this one is the perfect one to get you ready for that family road trip. Despite my dislike of Chevy Chase as a person, he is fantastic in this film. This movie set the bar for future road trip comedies, few of which have ever even come close to that bar. This film is funny, full of disasters, and perfect for summer. It contains the classic family summer vacation and the great images of traveling across America. I’d say this is a can’t skip summer classic.
