National Lampoon's Vacation: 30th Anniversary (2013)

I'm a big fan of this film NATIONAL LAMPOONS VACATION

i already own the 20th anniversary edition dvd that was released in 2003

which had a very small featurette about the making of the film and a commentary track

which i didn't think much of

and then Warner bros released the film on blu-ray about 2 years ago i think

absolute waste of time the blu-ray release is, cause it's exactly the same as the 20th anniversary dvd

the picture quality is pretty good better than the DVD but the extras/special features are the same

as the 20th anniversary dvd

so there's nothing new

so i definitely wasn't going to buy this blu-ray release and in the mean time

hopeing that Warner bros would give this film the special treatment it deserves

and Warner bros have finally did it this year 2013

i bought the 30th anniversary edition blu-ray this week

and it's the best version you'll ever get of NATIONAL LAMPOONS VACATION

the picture quality is pretty good for a blu-ray in Widescreen of course

but the Highlight on this 30th anniversary blu-ray release is

the Brand new 90min Documentary of the making of the film

excellent making of Doco, for a fan i was happy as can be

interviews with all the actors/actress's from the film, well most of the actors anyway

Chevy chase, Beverly D' Angelo, Anthony michael Hall, Dana barron,

Christie brinkley and Harold ramis, Matty simmons, Eugene Levy,

and the list goes on

the only person not interviewed for some reason is Randy quaid

theres rare behind the scenes footage, outtakes, Deleted scenes etc

it's an incredible Documentary, any fan of this film will not be dissapointed

there is still an audio commentary by Harold ramis & Chevy chase from the 20th anniversary edition dvd

and there is still the 3mins introduction by Chevy chase, Matty simmons and randy quaid

but the family truckster featurette is not on this blu-ray, which i think is good

the family truckster featurette was the worst featurette made for a comedy classic like this

this Documentary is only available on this 30th anniversary edition blu-ray actually

it's a blu-ray exclusive, it wasn't released on the DVD releases

so if your a big fan of the film you have to get this 30th anniversary blu-ray to watch the Documentary

i've given this blu-ray release 5 stars mainly cause of the new Documentary released on this blu-ray.

so scrap the first 20th anniversary edition dvd and the 2011 release blu-ray

and definitely get this 30th anniversary edition for sure, you won't be disapointed.

I love this movie,its a comedy classic,every scene is just hilarious, i love the ending, i'm glad they changed it because originally they weren't suppose to go into Wally World, Clark goes to Roy Wallys house and holds him hostage for closing the park and has him dance, John Candy was so perfect as the security guard, i love the part where hes talking real fast to Roy Wally and blabbering to him and he says QUIET!!! lmao, my issue isn't with this movie in no way at all, i love it, its with the blu ray picture, i have the 20th anniversary dvd from 2003 and to be honest the picture is way better on it than this, i can't believe i'm saying this but i've compared both pictures and the 20th anniversary has better color and sharper images, just my opinion, i know some people will disagree with me, but if you have the 20th anniversary dvd, hold on to it, this one is not worth getting, the only great thing about it is the 85 minute making of documentary with all the actors,other than that everything else is the same as on the other dvd, except the family truckster featurette, overall great classic comedy movie, average blu ray dvd.

One of my favorite movies of all time, Vacation is funny, because we've all been there. I can't tell how many times I seen the movie, first in the theater, then a Betamax tapes, then a VHS tape, then a DVD, now a Blu-ray. I have them all, and each new medium seems to improve both the video and audio. However, the ultimate addition is the "Inside Story: The Making of Vacation" special from the Biography Channel. There are several of these specials (Animal House & The Silence of the Lambs are two). I find them to be exceedingly well done as very entertaining documentaries of the movie making process. I bought this edition of Vacation solely because it contains the "Inside Story." It's great!
