    • Trivia
      Joe Pesci deliberately avoided Macaulay Culkin on-set because he wanted Culkin to think he was mean.
    • Goofs
      The night Harry and Marv break in to the house, Kevin sits down and blesses his macaroni and cheese dinner just before the stroke of nine. This draws obvious attention to his plate. Later, just before Harry is covered with feathers, you can see a completely different plate with three sections of food on it.

    The perfect Christmas film

    Home Alone is one of the best slapstick comedies I have ever seen.

    The comedy is top-notch, the slapstick is fantastic.

    It's not just that, the direction, editing, and pacing are immaculate.

    And obviously Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, and Daniel Stern are phenomenal here, I can't imagine them being played by anyone else, they are just perfect.

    Some of these edits wouldn't be in films like this today.

    But this movie is also delightful, dare I say even a little heartwarming, it's the perfect Christmas movie to watch every year.

    I'm gonna give Home Alone an A+.

    FAQ18

    • Did anybody discover that Harry Lyme was disguised as a Police officer?
    • Behind Kevin's mom in the Airport, is that Elvis Presley as an extra?
    • Why is it that Kevin orders a pizza and scares away the pizza guy by playing that gangster movie and fast forwards the videotape to where the gangster is shooting the other gangster but when Marv approached the door alone Kevin does the same thing only with a pot full of firecrackers as the tape is still playing?
