[Marty McFourth]

Yeah, Christmas Vacation. I'd put Home Alone 2 after that and then Santa Clause.

Vacation is pretty timeless. It just seems to get better despite multiple rewatches of it.

Went with National Lampoons. Its maybe a bit underrated. 80s Chase is a great thing.

Christmas Vacation, easily.
