Oh man, so many great ones. Overall, I would have to go with Christmas Vacation. But Planes, trains, and automobiles comes in a close second.

At Christmas I never miss National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. All of John Hughes's films are great for different reasons. If I have to pick just one I could watch at anytime, it would have to be Planes, Trains, and Automobiles:

"Where is your other hand?"
"Between two pillows".
"Those aren't pillows!!!"

Today I was in line at a Drug Mart store, and they had a DVD for sale that combined "Uncle Buck" "The Great Outdoors" and "Berserk" for $6.99.
