National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is one of those festive films perfectly fit for a holiday movie marathon. The Griswold family comes together to celebrate Christmas, but patriarch Clark (Chevy Chase) has a run of bad luck he just can't seem to beat. Despite all the dry humor and gross gags, Christmas Vacation always manages to touch our hearts with its sweet Yuletide spirit. If you love the Griswold clan as much as we do, be sure to add your favorite quotes from the movie after you check

Here's a sneak video preview of tonight's Coronation Street:Tina is in the backyard of the Rovers on her break when Rob follows her out. She doesn't seem surprised to see him. It's clear they're flirting with one another, and Tina has been winding him up, calling him a "mummy's boy", (she'd previously said that Tracy has got him under the thumb). She admits winding him up because he so easily rises to it. He tells Tina that he reckons she's trying to get his attention and enjoying the attention

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are one of the cutest onscreen couples - already having done this a couple times before - and they're doing it all over again for Blended. In the romantic comedy, Sandler and Barrymore both play single parents of multiple kids, but when they go on a date, there are very few sparks. Cue the contrived plot device that gets both families to Africa on vacation, and they finally start to warm to each other. I'm not sure if Blended will be quite as great as The Wedding
