Mine would be the same, except I never saw CV2. I've never even heard of it.
Christmas Vacation and Vacation were both excellent. European Vacation and Vegas Vacation were both fair.

I've always felt that Christmas Vacation was a very underrated Christmas movie. People really enjoy telling me how it's not just a terrible holiday movie, but the worst of the Vacation series. I still don't get it!
Vegas and European weren't that bad. In fact, there was a line I noticed in European Vacation the other day that gave me a huge laugh. As the Griswolds arrive in Paris and meet the couple from Akron, Ohio, Clark introduces his Ellen to them and of course his "daughters" Audrey and Rusty. '' Also, when they make their way to Germany and stay with, who they think, are Clark's relatives.
"My family and I are looking for sex."
"Who the hell were they?!"
"Beats the shit out of me!"
I love in Vegas Vacation the joking reference to the kids being played by different actors in each movie with Clark's line, "I hardly recognize you anymore."

Gotta go with the original Vacation as my favorite, with Christmas Vacation not far behind. I hate European Vacation, but Vegas Vacation was ok. I haven't even bothered with Christmas Vacation 2.
Semi off-topic, but it looks like they approached Chevy Chase with an idea for a new Fletch movie.

So hard to choose from the first 3! All classics.
That said, I think most people value 'Christmas' too much and 'European' too little.
(And heck, if you want to know how great this series is, even the insipid, derivative, lame follow-up "Vegas Vacation" is STILL a really good movie!)

LOL. It is a tradition in our house that we watch it, or at least hubby and I do on Thanksgiving!!!!
It begins our 'Christmas' season.
Ever since we saw it in theaters, Christmas Vacation has been a family tradition every year.
A very, very, VERY close second (possible tie) is the original Vacation.
Never really cared much for European or Vegas Vacation.

Absolutely! She was my favorite Audrey. Loved the scene when she was "starting her vacation."
