National Lampoon's Vacation Movies: Release Order
The Vacation series chronicles the misadventures of Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) and his family as they embark on catastrophic trips that never go according to plan. From cross-country road trips to European getaways to holiday disasters, Clark's eternal optimism in the face of mounting chaos makes for timeless comedy gold.
The series features a running gag where the Griswold children are recast with different actors in nearly every film, which the 2015 legacy sequel cleverly acknowledges as meta-humor. Christmas Vacation 2 focuses on Cousin Eddie rather than the main family, while the 2015 Vacation follows grown-up Rusty Griswold starting the cycle anew with his own family.
