Set at the brink of World War II, this gripping British drama from the producers of Gosford Park, The Bucket List, and Hacksaw Ridge, stars Academy Award winner Sir Anthony Hopkins (The Silence of the Lambs, Nixon) and Emmy nominee Matthew Goode (The Imitation Game, Stoker) as two of the greatest minds of the 20th century, clashing over the biggest question of all: Does God Exist?It's September 1939, and England has declared war on Germany. The father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, a recent escapee with his daughter from the Nazi regime, receives a visit from the formidable Oxford Don C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia), a former atheist who is now a devout Christian. Sparking a debate with the younger man about the damage that unquestioned belief may bring, Freud's mortality, and what Lewis believes comes after death, fuels their discussion, as the two men clash and question each other about science, faith, love, the human condition, and what divides - and could possibly unite - the aspirations of the mind and the needs of the soul, interweaving the lives of Freud and Lewis, past, present, and fantasy in a story that bursts from the confines of Freud's study, and delves into the deeper realms of both men's psyche.

Vacation paved the way for the John Hughes movie dynasty of the 1980s. Written by Hughes (who would go on to write, direct, and/or produce The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Uncle Buck, Home Alone, and so on) and directed by Harold Ramis (Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, Stuart Saves His Family), the first Vacation movie introduces us to the all-American Griswold family: father Clark (Chevy Chase), mother Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo), son Rusty (future Hughes staple Anthony Michael Hall), and daughter Audrey (Dana Barron). They all pile into the car for a cross-country road trip to Walley World, stopping along the way to view the world's biggest ball of twine. John Candy, Imogene Coca, and Randy Quaid (as yokel Cousin Eddie) pop up along the way. The movie was a big hit, and was followed by several sequels--National Lampoon's European Vacation, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation--but this one is still probably the freshest and funniest of the bunch. --Jim Emerson
