Another Movie classic: European Vacation

Follow the misadventures of Clark Griswold and family in this, somewhat forgotten gem, from 1985.  I had completely forgotten, on how often the premium channels like Showtime, Cinemax, and HBO, would often show this movies, among the others, that are rarities, 20+ years after they were made.  Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo star. Follow the misadventures of the Griswold family, as they literally destroy England, France, Germany and Italy with mishaps and stupidity.
Seeing the movie again, after more than a decade, I learned to appreciate, the simpler, wilder, and yet, better times from the 80's.  You'll see some old companies, old logos from still famous name brands and some that are no longer with us.  Listen to old music from an almost bygone era.  And enjoying a much better time, when movies still had originality to them, not some cheap knockoff, trying to live up to the original.  *Sigh*, the 80's was the last pit stop, for good fun and movies.
