They certainly are far from perfect. The PQ is actually decent, but the AQ leaves a lot to be desired.

Upgraded 4 or 5 years ago for $5 by way of the DVD to Blu program. Not a great transfer but certainly worth that IMO. We watch it every year on Thanksgiving day and usually again before Christmas.

Love love love this movie!! I use this as my avatar/signature line year around. It's my sister's and my favorite holiday comedy. Makes me smile just thinking about it!

I'd definitely double/triple dip for a blu-ray improvement.

Agreed. The audio is terrible on this release. As popular as this movie is, I can't believe it was never re-visited, especially since this year was the 25th anniversary (how can it have been so long!)

That's Warner for you. They'll upgrade the audio on titles like Blazing Saddles and Million Dollar Baby, but won't touch Christmas Vacation.

I wonder why. Is it because the Vacation movies all look like the cheapest productions ever made, with salaries in the sequels being where all the money went?

Or is it that Christmas movies always sell well and studios see no reason to spend anything on them to upgrade the home video experience?
