Most people don't realize how important the music is to the overall feel, and the resulting success of the movie. The musical score of this one tied it all together in a beautiful Christmas package.

They are both very good.

New Trier West was used as a community center at the time of Home Alone. It has since reopened as a freshman only campus with about 1,000 students in the 6 buildings. Last year, New Trier played all their basketball games on the floor where the movie was shot. There is one scene in Uncle Buck (the car backfire) that was shot at New Trier West campus, and likewise only one scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off when Sloan is called out of class because "your grandmother passed." Breakfast Club was named and based on New Trier detentions, based on a famous radio show on the ABC radio network, because they were held in the morning before school began. Breakfast Club though, was shot at another closed down school--the former Maine North.

I know of three problems that ruined the home alone franchise. Home Alone 3, Home Alone Taking Back The House, and Home Alone The Holiday Heist.

There was absolutely too much moving around. Too many locations. They could have used a real house for the flood and interior scene. John Hughes had more friends than he knew. He ignored a lot of them and their ideas. Everyone did well in the end, nevertheless.

@@vminaj90 thank you so much for this information! I found the interview (Home Alone 30 Years on: Woman Who Grew Up in McCallister House Shares Memories). I had some questions, that bothered me. Like: how they found the house, who the owners were, were they some friends of Columbus/producers, what kind of attention to the house followed the movie premiere. I was surprised to find out that fans started to show on a place right off the bat - I thought that years passed after the internet revealed the location of the house. Speaking about the fake house, I think they used it to shoot some scenes. For example, there are stairs in the movie kitchen, but in real life there are no stairs there. And think about it. Would they risk burning the house while shooting the scene with a flamethrower? That was probably done in a fake house.
