To sign 'unforgettable', start by signing 'forget': place your open dominant hand against your forehead, then pull it away and to the side while closing it into an 'A' handshape. Next, sign 'won't' by taking that same 'A' handshape, with the thumb pointing up and back, and firmly jerking it backward over your shoulder.
Start by signing 'VACATION', then use this compound sign for 'unforgettable'. To really emphasize how incredible the trip was, make the backward motion over your shoulder strong and deliberate. This shows that the memory of the vacation is deeply ingrained and will definitely stick with you.
Begin by signing 'HER PERSONALITY', followed by 'unforgettable'. Since this is usually a compliment, make sure to use a positive, bright facial expression. This combination effectively shows that her character leaves a wonderful, lasting impression on everyone she meets and simply cannot be forgotten.
Sign 'MOVIE FINISH' and then follow up with 'unforgettable'. Depending on whether the ending was mind-blowing, sad, or terrifying, you should adjust your facial expression during the final backward motion. This helps reflect the specific emotional impact the movie left on you.

It is actually a compound sign made up of two distinct ASL vocabulary words: 'FORGET' and 'WON'T' (or 'REFUSE'). When these two signs are performed together fluidly in sequence, they translate perfectly to the English concept of 'unforgettable', literally meaning that you refuse to let the memory slip away.
Yes! Since 'unforgettable' usually carries a strong emotional weight, your facial expression should match the context of what you are describing. Whether it is an expression of awe for a beautiful memory or a serious look for a profound experience, your face provides the tone.
Absolutely. Just like in spoken English, 'unforgettable' can apply to a wonderful vacation or a terrible, traumatic event. The sign itself remains exactly the same in both situations; it is your facial expression and body language that will clarify the positive or negative tone of the memory.
