I saw it first run with my parents. Empty theater. At the risk of sounding like a "I liked it before it was cool," this movie did not really become popular until about 10 years ago.

Not really much risk of that since it's one of the highest grossing movies of the franchise.
We went and saw it several times at the theater and it was always packed. It was also a go-to rental at Blockbuster every year IF you were lucky and they had any available.

I'm not sure where you spent your Decembers up until 2009, but it wasn't exactly a hidden gem that all of the sudden got popular ten years ago.

Yeah, it has been fairly popular since it debuted. Saw it in 1989 with extended family during the Christmas break

It did well when released but yes it has now reached cult classic status

That's all I was saying. Years ago, I would meet people who hadn't seen it or didn't get references. Now it seems to be extremely popular.

Sorry for ruffling feathers

If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the floor, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now.

Can I drive you out to the middle of no where, leave you for dead?

I first saw it on a rented VHS video in the mid 90s. Sometime during the last 15-20 years it became my custom to watch it every single Christmas season.

"Every time my wife would turn the microwave on, I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for 10 minutes or so."

My wife and I, and sometimes other family, watch it every Christmas. We drink a bit too much and laugh at the same things every year, sometimes finding parts we didn't laugh at much before a bit funnier than we should.

Almost everything Eddie does is gold, although I don't care for the sled scene or "bingo" line. But when the turkey obviously blows up I love when he turns to his wife and says "why you cryin?"

"Well, I don't know what else to say - except it's Christmas, and we're all in misery."

I also saw it in the theater with my parents, and we had the VHS video for years.

Christmas Vacation and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles are our two holiday staples.

We're gonna have the HAP-HAP-HAPPIEST Christmas since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny f*@#in' Kay! When Santa squeezes his fat a$$ down that chimney, he's gonna find the merriest bunch of *******s this side of the nuthouse!

Merry Christmas! and Holy Sh*t!


Can I refill your eggnog? Get you something to eat? Drive you out in the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?
Naaaah I'm fine Clark.

This has been a highly watched movie forever. Just because the internet got big in the last decades doesn't mean stuff was not popular before then.

We watch "Planes" as a family the first Friday after Halloween and "Vacation" the Friday after Thanksgiving when we get back from cutting down the tree.

Easily one of my favorite parts:

Clark:
My cousin in-law whose heart is bigger than his brain...
Eddie:
I appreciate that, Clark.
Clark:
...Is innocent.

So here's the question. Does this movie beat out the original Vacation?

I think so, but you might have to have lived through multiple dysfunctional family Christmases to agree.
