Vacation paved the way for the John Hughes movie dynasty of the 1980s. Written by Hughes (who would go on to write, direct, and/or produce
The Breakfast Club,
Ferris Bueller's Day Off,
Uncle Buck,
Home Alone, and so on) and directed by Harold Ramis (
Caddyshack,
Groundhog Day,
Stuart Saves His Family), the first
Vacation movie introduces us to the all-American Griswold family: father Clark (Chevy Chase), mother Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo), son Rusty (future Hughes staple Anthony Michael Hall), and daughter Audrey (Dana Barron). They all pile into the car for a cross-country road trip to Walley World, stopping along the way to view the world's biggest ball of twine. John Candy, Imogene Coca, and Randy Quaid (as yokel Cousin Eddie) pop up along the way. The movie was a big hit, and was followed by several sequels--
National Lampoon's European Vacation,
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and
National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation--but this one is still probably the freshest and funniest of the bunch.
