2	National Lampoon's Vacation 1983, R) still love seeing Chevy romancing the dog urine soaked sandwich.
3	National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 1989, PG-13) I think this is the best of the vacation movies.
4	Cool Hand Luke 1967, PG) fantastic cast,fantastic script.No failure to communicate here.
5	The Sand Pebbles 1966, PG-13) The only movie I think Steve McQueen might have been better in was The Great Escape.
