[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9184638, member: 85555"] He definitely hit a rough patch in the 90s. I am sure some was dumb luck, some was a simple failure to re-invent himself for the 90s (the 90s were pretty hard overall on 80s acts---and granted he wasn't purely an 80s act, but his films were largely 80s movies). Bill Murray managed to find other types of roles and was in highly memorable 90s comedy. As far as Chevy and Vacation movies go. I still think the first one is the best. Christmas Vacation is also solid, but I honestly think there reason for its longevity is primarily that it was a Christmas movie that aired every Christmas so people saw it growing up (it is deserved longevity but I think that is why people know that one more than the first vacation film). I remember seeing it in the Theater actually and not being hugely impressed (which might be on me, but at the time I just remember thinking it was okay). I eventually came to like it a lot more after repeat viewings during Christmas. Those early 80s movies he was in had a vibe and Chase had a vibe. I think the stuff is still funny but his films had a small portion of sleaze to them that was normal for that early 80s period (you just expected to see a certain amount of sex and sexual humor in screwball comedies from that time). Also I think Chevy Chase could sometimes be a bit much. I do remember liking him as a kid, but even in a movie that I recalled enjoying as a kid, like Funny Farm, there were moments where I wished he would stop mugging so much and doing certain things for the camera (whereas I never had that issue with Bill Murray, he had a bag of tricks too but I found his bag of tricks charming and funny, whereas Chase could get on your nerves).
