Original
Vegas
Christmas

In that order. European not worthy of consideration.

I'll go ahead and argue that I am a bigger fan than all. The correct order is:

Drum roll please. Drum roll.

Who could ever forget Cousin Eddie on the diving board with his tank top tucked into his speedo?

Stands out to me.

Glad to see Vegas and the Original getting their necessary love.

The original for sentimental reasons. Along with Fast Times and War Games, these are the three movies that send me right back to the early 80's (good times).

But of course I have to pop in Christmas Vac. at least once this time of year.
