The Cast of NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION Reunited For The 30th Anniversary To Discuss The Classic

Every year during the holiday season, one of my favorite films to watch is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. This year it has a short run in theaters again for it’s 30th anniversary so I took the family to go see it on the big screen, which was a lot of fun. I was actually surprised by how many people in the theater were seeing the movie for the first time!

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the classic Christmas movie, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hosted a screening of the movie with a Q&A afterwards featuring the original cast members of the film. Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo, Juliette Lewis, Johnny Galecki, and Diane Ladd all showed up to talk about the movie and offer some fun stories, and provide some insight on the film.

You can watch the highlights from the Q&A that have been released below:
