It's my favorite scene in the movie. There are numerous funny moments throughout the movie, but the nostalgia and awesome song just reminds us that Christmas is all about family and love.
This year's Christmas is exactly as many years away from Christmas '89 as Christmas '89 was from Christmas '55. There's something both nostalgic and terrifying about how time flies.
Yeah and why would we sit on the attic door to watch the movie. There are other moments like this in the movie. Just have to reside in the fact that the characters don't make logical sense in this movie.
But why was no one concerned about Clark in the first place? Why is Ellens dad so selfish he thinks its more important to go out to lunch than take 5 minutes to scan the house and realise Clark is trapped? Wjy is clark not even dressed when they were all aware this was shopping day? Just how long was he up there before they left? Why did Ellens mother not call up to the attic to see if anyone was up there before shutting the door and telling no one? Why didn't she mention it to Ellen when they realised Clark was missing? The whole scene only works because of plot armour, and IRL would end up one of those things where they find his corpse a year later I recon.
That wasn’t Rusty’s bed. It was the guest bedroom. Ironically, Ellen’s parents were sleeping in there. And it was Ellen’s mom that trapped him in there. And Ellen’s dad was the one who insisted on leaving so he could take his back pill. Ellen’s mom slept on the bottom. And Ellen’s dad slept on the top. Now Ellen’s mom is gonna be cold. And Ellen’s dad won’t be able to look at that poster. Talk about karma.
I just noticed the sweaters hanging up about the first time Clark gets whacked by a plank. Also the It’s a Boy! sign. You can never watch this too many times
I believe the best part of the whole film is when Clark is watching the old Christmas movies. Not only is it an emotional scene, but it also shows that Clark really wants to make a great Christmas. He may have gone through so much trouble with the lights, getting the Christmas tree, and more misadventures, but he pulled through.
Love this song so emotional brings back memories of the past and lost loved ones and good times gone by. And for me remembering all the good times of Buddy Ryan and those great super Eagles defenses, and those intimate moments I use to have in Atlantic City with Samantha wow memories I cherish them they hurt when they go!
Christmas days without having watched this movie wouldn't be complete for me. I haven't tried for decades now, but i'm pretty sure I wouldn't survive :) every scene is both charming an funny in a very special way. No other flick comes close. Ok, sorry, apart from the Peanuts christmas of course...
Fun fact: It was 34 years between when the home movie takes place and when this movie came out. It has now been just as many years since the release of Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
Although it shows Clark getting trapped in the attic, don't believe it. Even if you are in the attic and someone closes the attic door, it can still be pushed open from above. I know because back when I was in elementary school, my parents had rental properties. When I was in the fourth grade, my parents rented a unit at a duplex to a criminal once. It turned out that the tenant had been to prison for rape, extortion, murder, grand theft, grand theft auto, burglary, kidnapping...on and on. Well, that tenant tried his criminal luck on cheating my mom on rent. Wrote a hot check, refused to pay, and I THINK, not 100 percent, but I THINK he was found to be trying to rob someone. My mom told him that she was evicting him and threatened to go to court, threatening to get police involved, on and on. He laughed at my mom. My dad went to the duplex and pulled the electric meter and disabled the hvac system. BUT THIS STORY IS NOT OVER! Now this is where I get to the point of my story... That criminal opened the pull down attic stair and climbed into the attic and went over to the pull down attic stair in the condo next door and pushed the attic door down and open and climbed down into the unit next door. At this point, it's trespassing. I got one even better than that...even juicier...breaking and entering. After doing that, he stole ALL of the appliances from BOTH units of the duplex. Stoves, refrigerators, vandalized both units, on and on. My parents did press charges against him and sent his happy little butt back in prison where it belongs. From then on, my dad locked the attic door, trap door, and any door that could be used to gain access to the apartment next door, and started locking doors that could be used to traverse between condos. But, THE POINT OF THIS STORY, attic doors CAN BE PUSHED OPEN FROM ABOVE IN THE ATTIC.
This scene should've been edited out. It goes nowhere and just slows the plot down. Seriously, they just took off an left him without looking for him? Bull !@#$!
Or it could just be that you don't get its purpose. Scenes like this that are more quiet and pensive always serve a purpose. We'd seen and heard Clark talk about the kind of Christmas he wants to give his family, but this scene serves to show us what Clark's trying to recapture in his head. Not every scene in a film exists to drive the plot forward.
@@melanieparkerOr at least came up with a better way for him to get stuck up there. Seriously, not a single person in existence would just close an attic door without checking to see if someone was up there first
At this point, Clark was now 34 years from Christmas 1955. Now, we are 34 years from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
🥲😮😮😮😮😮😮😭😵

This scene makes me cry nowadays, I'm not sure why..
I mean it's litteraly made to be as tear jerkimg as possible. The whole movie is a parody
As we move on without our parents I think its a common reaction
Dude, I feel you
Because you have grown up.
Nostalgia 😢
This year's Christmas is exactly as many years away from Christmas '89 as Christmas '89 was from Christmas '55. There's something both nostalgic and terrifying about how time flies.
Never figured out why he could have not crawled out through the hole over the bunk bed lol😂
Right you already have to repair it might aswell make it bigger and get out
Because he doesn't want to. Obviously he could escape in a few seconds if he wanted to.
EXACTLY!! I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!!! 😂😂😂 Love this movie 😌

I think when we’re old , we cry for our childhood again and all the family who are now long gone.
This is my favorite scene/ song of the movie ! Love the pink gloves !
0:09 That looked like it hurt so bad. Good thing Clark is a live-action cartoon character.
3:55-he looks like something out of Aladdin! 🤣🧞♂️🤣
now we consider the year this movie was released "the good old days" lol
Every time he falls through the floor and on to Rusty's bed I lose it
😂😂😂
That wasn’t Rusty’s bed. It was the guest bedroom. Ironically, Ellen’s parents were sleeping in there. And it was Ellen’s mom that trapped him in there. And Ellen’s dad was the one who insisted on leaving so he could take his back pill.

@@Ayone-u3h Oh my bad
One of the best scenes in cinema
That 3rd time with the planks always gets me lmao
Sideshow Bob lol
Love how the forgotten Mother's Day gift is from the same year they went to Walley World. Not long before they went on their trip.
I just noticed the sweaters hanging up about the first time Clark gets whacked by a plank. Also the It’s a Boy! sign. You can never watch this too many times
so true, i've watched this movie every year since i was a child and only notice new visual gags nearly every time

5:05 “Heh heh.”
Came looking for this. The sheer brutality of the ladder-to-the-face and Ray's little giggle are my sweet spots.
Right…The best part…LMFAOOOOO 💀💀💀💀💀💀😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@SgtTom Thanks Sgt. Tom I meant every word.
I could not breathe after seeing him and his whole set up go through the hatch 😂
My all time favorite scene for some good feels ❤
This makes me nostalgic of memories I've never had. I wasn't even born during this time.
Exactly how i feel thinking about the christmas’s of my
childhood!
Aww, I love this when Clark gets stuck in the attic, then he finds family films.
The OG Home Alone
Idk if this was intentional but I always loved how the song cuts off with a "heh heh" right before he falls when she opens the door XD
IKR!!!!!...... it's as if Ray Charles knew what was going to happen....🤣🤣🤣
@@jeffreyworthen7033 Haha the man could predict the future, the genius that he is!! XD

This is the best scene in the movie
Older memories get harder they hit
“He’s got a car, he can drive. I need to eat so I can take my back pills.”
You would be surprised how often I use this in every day conversation.
Im not gonna lie I wanted to reach through teh screen and smack the old fart when he said that
I miss these days. Cars were normal and u could afford to live with a job.
Nice of clark to drop in at the end
0:09 🤣🤣🤣🤣
5:10 is also funny!
1955 67 Years ago wow!
Clark's childhood home was the Bewitched house. Margo and Chad's house was the Lethal Weapon house.
Are you shitting me?????
A Hollywood starlet revisits her Golden Years ✨🧤
Love this scene. What is the name of the song that plays?
That Spirit of Christmas by Ray Charles
Thnx!!
@@tylerstopclips7099big THNX!!!
2:05 Sideshow Bob... Wait. Did I say Bob, cause I mean Clark...
They cut out the scene with uncle Lewis
Fun fact: It was 34 years between when the home movie takes place and when this movie came out.

🔦🎠🎬🎩👒 3:24 oh no 😢😂
That's me getting ready to smoke outside every winter
I know it’s only a movie but couldn’t he have just climbed out of there head first @ 3:25???
We wouldn't get the setup delivered by Ellen
5:06 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Another reason I wish this scene was edited out. I really wanted to see his raise hell as to who ever locked him up in thee attic in the first place.
It’s a movie calm down
Cool story, Hansel!
@@HPNomad Exactly. It's entitled to criticism.
0:09 lol
