Growing up, I saw a lot of these on VHS and later on DVD. I still watch them no matter how many times I've seen them, and am always looking for the ones I have not seen yet.
How many have you seen and what did you think of them?
I've seen about half of the ones you've mentioned, with bits and pieces of others, and Baby's Day Out, but that one was not one of his finest...
I saw Flubber and 101 Dalmatians when I was a kid in theaters, and I was practically falling out of my chair for both of them... watching them as an adult, I don't find them as funny, but they still hold up well for 90's family movies!
The Vacation movies are all great, and I love Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The rest that I have seen have also held up well over the years, and I can't say that I've seen one so far that I didn't like! Baby's Day Out even made me laugh a couple times... =)
