| Written by Hughes, Vacation was the movie that introduced us to the 
		  Griswold family.  The movie was so popular that it spawned a few more 
		  installments like European Vacation, Christmas Vacation and Vegas 
		  Vacation.  This one has a special place in my heart since it was the 
		  first and most original.  I would list Christmas Vacation (1989) as a 
		  very close second though.  Join the Griswold family as they embark on 
		  a cross-country road trip to Walley World, stopping along the way to 
		  view such important sites as the world's largest ball of twine.   
		  Among the mishaps are a dead aunt, dead dog and a police raid.  The 
		  movie showcases the talents of: Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, John 
		  Candy, Randy Quaid, Imogene Coca and Anthony Michael Hall. |
