National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985)

Plot: The luckiest dysfunctional family in America is back, and this time they are taking their chaotic antics across the Atlantic! After winning an all-expenses-paid trip on a game show, Clark Griswold packs up his family for an ambitious European tour. From driving on the wrong side of the road in London and turning a roundabout into an endless trap, to dynamic mishaps in Paris, Germany, and Rome, the Griswolds manage to leave a path of hilarious destruction wherever they go. It's a classic, high-energy comedy of errors that turns a dream vacation into a legendary international disaster.
