His Friar's Club Roast ruled. Could've done without the Beverly D'Angelo song.

 

I could never get into National Lampoon's Vacation because they played it seemingly ALL THE DAMN TIME for a period a few years ago. My favorite is Funny Farm, personally.

 

I've never seen any of the Fletch movies... (ducks flying objects)

Fletch is the only Chase movie I have on DVD. I like Vacation and Caddyshack though.

Really, is there any better film than "Cops and Robersons?"... Oh that Jack Palance, will he ever learn?

I'm a big fan of Chevy's old work. He was very good Caddyshack, Fletch, Vacation, and many others. He seems to be really full of himself these days though.

Was Chevy in Spys Like Us? The only good movies by Chevy were done in the 80s. The classics of Fletch, Vacation, along with Caddieshack was Chevy at his best.

 

But out of the SNL stars of the 80s who became movie stars I prefer Bill Murry and Eddie Murphy over Chevy. To me Chevy is in the middle of the group with Bill at the top with Martain Short being the worst.

Spies Like Us was Chase and Aykroyd and was pretty much the start of the downhill slide for both of them. Although, Chase had two great films after that with Christmas Vacation and Three Amigos. Chevy had a certain aloof and cocky aire about him, but now he just seems dautering.

 

His two films with Goldie Hawn, Foul Play and Seems Like Old Times, are underrated, as is Under the Rainbow. I hated Funny Farm, I just found it trying too hard to be funny and cliched.

Under the Rainbow was the one where Chevy is the hotel manager for the cast of Wizard of Oz with all of the Munchkins running around. Average at best.

I haven't seen Fletch in a LONG time.

 

Favorites:

 

Vacation, Christmas Vacation, Caddyshack, Fletch.

 

Cops and Robbersons was OK. I fell asleep during the last half hour.

My favorite Chase movies are Fletch, Fletch Lives, Caddyshack, and Vacation.

 

The worst was probably European Vacation or Nothing But Trouble, although I've missed out on some of the true crap.

Chase was the original SNL "star"

 

Thats the bottom line!

 

"I'm Chevy Chase...any you're not!"

 

(stumbles and does a nifty bump) "LIVE FROM NEW YORK ITS SATURDAY NIGHT!"

 

"Candy gram...No ma'am, I'm just a dolphin"

 

"Spanish dictator Franco is STILL DEAD!"

 

Ahh too many classic quotes to mention

I think he's pretty goddamn funny when he's in dry-humor mode, but in Live From New York by Tom Shales, the consensus opinion amongst nearly all the cast members interviewed was that the guy is an incredible asshole. Terry Sweeney:" He said to me,'so, you're the fag. You should get AIDS and then each week we can weigh you." Which is actually pretty funny, in an "I-can't-believe-someone-could-be-a-big-enough-prick-to-say-something-like-that" kind of way. So I suppose that means I like Chevy too

European Vacation rules the school man, besides his fat daughter. Regardless, Chevy has never made a bad movie. Go Snow Day.

Chevy was at his funniest (to me) when he hosted his own talk show in the early 90's. One of the most entertaining pop culture train wrecks ever.

I prefer the Lampoons but doesn't everyone remember and love the Invisible Man movie he did?
