When was the last time you watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation?
Actually, better question is, how many times have you watched it?
On your favourite Christmas movies list, where do you rate this film?

I've never been able to get through the opening credits. The song is so annoying, & the cartoon is so bad, & it lasts 37 years.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

It's a good movie, I've seen it a few times. It's one of the best Christmas comedies, I think. Probably top 3 I guess, up there with Scrooged and Nightmare Before Christmas (which I guess despite the title, feels more like a Halloween movie).

Haven't seen it in several years, but I agree it's one of the better Christmas comedies. You can reliably find it playing on TV pretty regularly if you want.
To me, you are the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoon.

Never seen it. Is it as good as regular 'Vacation'? I like that one.

I'd say they're pretty close in quality. The Christmas one is naturally a bit railroaded by its theme, but they're a funny bunch of movies.
