... to cover this month, but I didn’t have a hard time deciding which one to write about first.

This YouTube clip of National Lampoon's 1975 parody "Southern California Brings Me Down" is a classic mash up of some of Neil Young's well known songs.We actually heard this broadcast 30+ years ago and thought it was pretty funny. Never heard it again and forgot about until sometime in the 90's when we traded for it on good old audio cassette. Then it faded away again.It resurfaced...

... films. Home Alone was a film I saw at a formative time in my young life - I was 14 or so - but National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation was probably more important to me, since it balanced gingerly on the line between family entertainment and more grown-up fare. In hindsight, it's probably more oriented for teenagers and kids than anyone, even with (or maybe because of) its abundance of potty...

Here it is, my all time favorite Christmas movie. Christmas Vacation came out 20 years ago and yet no one has come even slightly close to making a Christmas movie this funny. Christmas Vacation tells the story of the Griswold family who opens their house to all their in-laws for the holidays. Clark Griswold strives [...]

... IMDB The directors king and Scott Hillenbrand, who were answerable for the National Lampoon “Dorm Daze” movies, and the screenwriters Patrick Casey and Joshua Miller (known as Worm Miller) have stuffed this cabbage with doltish and buxom students, sadistic dwarfs, severed heads, serial vomiting, sheep testicles, a priest with Tourette’s syndrome and horse flatulence.

... of their stable reliance as holiday films and the influx of modern slapsticks like Home Alone and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation , is that some of the other classics from the '30s to the '50s don't receive the recognition they deserve -- even though they ring true just about as loudly as the bells-that-claim-angel's-wings. Warner Bros. and TCM have come together and wrapped up four...

... represent a reunion of sorts between him and series star Chevy Chase since the two appeared in “National Lampoon’s Vacation,” it’s just as likely he’s on the show because he was in “The Breakfast Club” – since both it and “Community” are about a motley group of oddballs who bond after being thrown together at school. It also didn’t hurt that Hall was already a fan. “Seeing the trailers,”...

Besides my favourite Christmas film "What A Wonderful Life", the other absolutely essential viewing is Chevy Chase in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation". I know this series of films are not considered great works, but I totally relate to them, with Clark W Griswold representative of both my father and I, two great enthusiasts whose realities have often fallen far short...
