I mean, it's obviously an homage to Angels With Dirty Faces, the 1938 movie starring James Cagney, so you can just watch that, if you're wanting more...

The part of the pizza eating chaos at the beginning still blows my mind, since Kevin's father throws away his ticket and passport in a blink-and-miss-it moment. Never seen that when watching as a kid, 25 years later mind has been blown. Kevin would have stayed home no matter what.

It's part of the realism this movie portrays. The passports are drying up and they're going to give it to every family member before leaving for the airport (small conversation the next morning in the staircase), and since Kevin's sleeping alone upstairs they don't notice because there's none left. It's pretty amazing how the writers thought of these little details.

@@alexandremclean6211 Part of the realism for me was the entire family shitting on Kevin and when he finally snaps and bites back he is treated as though he's the only one causing drama. The fantasy is the family realizing that they were jerks and apologizing.

John Candy is a delight in every film he's in. He's like the loveable family member you always have over during the holidays.

It’s such a Christmas classic. Also, Catherine O’Hara and Joe Pesci are just so iconic and I love rewatching their performances.

It is necessary, yes, but they already watched it. Where is the Scrooged reaction? Sorry, as much as I love Home Alone, Scrooged is a better film, and one of Bill Murray's best. It is legitimately my favorite Christmas movie of all time, and it's kind of a travesty that they haven't watched it for the channel...

Rapidfire fun facts for those unaware (or did not watch the Movies That Made Us episode): -Chris Collumbus originally was selected to direct National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation... but because Chevy Chase was acccting like a gigantic douche (as he's sadly known for), he called up John Hughes to tell him that he should not do this... and before he even said "I don't think I should do this", John Hughes told him "I don't think you should do this." Thus, Collumbus got Home Alone and Christmas Vacation got a new director. -The house from Home Alone is just a few miles down the street to the one from Planes, Trains and Automobiles. -It was originally distributed by Warner Bros.... who almost cancelled the movie entirely. Before that however, one of the crewmembers (I don't remember his name) and John Hughes got in touch with the Fox CEO, who loved the idea and, as the WB representative arrived to tell everyone to pack up their stuff, the man who got in touch called Fox, they said "You're now a Fox picture" and he went to the rooms where the Warner rep was at before him and told them that they were a Fox picture and to keep working. After that, the Warner person and the crewmember met and the guy told the Warner rep "You're fired". -For the snow scene, they used potato flakes for a few of the snowflakes... and they then rotted and it stank the area. -The inside of the Home Alone house was actually filmed in a gymnasium in a school. The flooded basement was filmed in said school's pool. -When Joe Pesci threatened to bite Culkin's fingers one at a time, he actually bit one... by accident. That terrified Culkin. -Daniel Stern originally left the project for reasons I don't really remember, so they got Dan Roebuck instead. He and Pesci had no chemistry, so they got Stern back (himself realising what an idiot he was)... and the magic clicked: they had a GREAT chemistry. Which didn't come from nowhere: They were actually best friend and worked together before in a movie beforehand. -The angry mumblimg we hear from Pesci was made by the guy himself. In fact, he insisted on it. Also, he told Collumbus that whenever he reads a script, if It's not a Scorsese script, he always has to add "Fuck" whenever he reads it (i.e: If it says "How are you today, Mr. Anderson?", he'd say "How the fuck are you doing today, Anderson you fuckin' wad?". I encourage anyone to correct infos that I got wrong or add details that I forgot to mention (or couldn't remember) for each and everyone.

Joe Pesci also set himself up a swear jar as to not cuss in front of the kids. It took him a few jars until he was able to get through his first scene as the cop. Daniel Stern has arachnophobia so the scene where he screams about the spider falling on his face isn't all acting. The photo of Kevin's older brother Butch's girlfriend is just the same actor in a wig. Hughes did ruin some poor girl's life by casting a girl in the role.

Altaf is such a supportive friend. "You've always wanted to hide in a nativity scene? You should do it!"

Honestly watching it with mute work’s terrifyingly well.

27:13 I don’t know if Kevin was counting on Marv being barefoot or not. But, it didn’t really matter. Because, you step on ornaments like those, it’s still gonna make noise. Kevin would likely hear it and would know exactly where one of them were, and what to do next.

I believe that Joe Pesci deserves more credit than he gets for his physical comedy chops.

- I think Daniel Stern’s tarantula scream probably helped him get the part of Marv 😄 - It was nice that Catherine O’Hare (Kevin’s mom) was at Macaulay’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony earlier this month - The little kid with glasses who wets the bed is Macaulay’s real brother, and more recently appeared in SCOTT PILGRIM… and SUCCESSIONS. - It was fun to see SCTV alums O’Hare & John Candy in scenes together.

Fun fact: Daniel Stern was originally wanted for the role but had prior commitments, so Daniel Robuck was cast. They shot several scenes with Robuck, but Stern was eventually able to make time to film Home Alone, so they scrapped the Robuck scenes, and redid the scenes with Stern. Much like Back to the Future with Eric Stolz filming Marty's scenes until Micheal J. Fox came on board and took over. Robuck apparently had bad chemistry with Pesci, so thank God things worked out to get Stern for the role. Can't imagine it any other way!

27:39 It’s such a melodious scream.

When John Candy talks about the funeral parlor, that's completely ad-libbed.

that's brilliant 😂🎉

Here's a little fun fact for ya: With the tarantula on the face scene, the scream is actually dubbed on. Because the actor had to be silent during the scene to not scare the tarantula on his face.

The part that always killed me about Buzzs story with the shovel slayer was what he did with the bodies. It's like, first off, the trash can isn't big enough to fit a single body, much less multiple. Second, he claims it turns them to mummies instead of dissolved them or something, this means there are mummies somewhere laying around. And there isn't enough evidence to convince him? No officer, i just collect mummies. i used to be an archeologist on the weekends. Lol yea right.

Polka King of the Midwest still cracks me up 😂

Home Alone is now preserved in the National Film Registry as of 2023. Chalkin now has a star of The Walk of Fame.

Having rewatched this and die hard, the next logical follow-up is the one that combines them both: violent night.

Home Alone is the origin story of Jigsaw.

It was more because the spider would get scared and run away. And honestly, having heard the scene without the scream, it's funnier! Because he's so terrified his voice just leaves!

27:06 It's the fact that he eagerly and readily puts his feet down that makes this scene so impactful and resonant

I just learned recently that Fuller is played by Kieran Culkin, Macaulay Culkin's brother! He also plays the roommate in Scott Pilgrim

One of the most iconic movies of all time, and amazing performances by the entire cast. 👍 "You're never too old to be afraid."

John Candy improvised most of his lines; it was his idea to come up with the story of leaving his son at the funeral home. He and Catherine O'Hara had previously worked together on the Canadian comic sketch show Second City Television (SCTV).

17:51 Literally my worst nightmare when shopping. I’m still scared of plastic packets

I never appreciated until now just how good Catherine O'Hara is in this movie. Her acting is just top-notch as she wrestles with guilt and desperation. Her reunion scene with Kevin is impossible to watch without crying.

You are so right about every community having that one kid who shows up and bothers people. The Kids in the Hall has a very accurate portrayal as well.

‘Easy on Pepsi Fuller !’ In my opinion this is the Best Home Alone not the remakes with new kids , this is the iconic one that people and new generations grew up watching around Christmas time. 😌🎄

That's a good point about patience, most movies these days can't linger for a moment to just let us soak up the emotion of a scene, without excessive music or stupid dialogue or disorienting jumpcuts. Have to say my favorite moment from the movie is Candy rambling about the kid that got locked in a funeral home XD Speaking of the jolly guy, he did a murder mystery spoof, Once Upon a Crime (1992).

Kevin seemingly missed the opportunity to blame Buzz’s room being wrecked on the burglars. I mean, you’d think Kevin would be bragging about what he went through and how he thwarted them at every turn. At least up until the end, there, where Old Man Marley needed to save him.

So quotable, a classic that never gets old.

I heard that Joe Pesci remembered his lines by putting in swear words every few lines in his script for the movie since he was in a lot of Martin Scorsese movies, and the closest he got to swearing was the scene where he got shot in the nuts. And during the scene where Harry was about to bite Kevin’s finger during rehearsal takes Joe actually bit Macaulay’s finger and he still has the bite scar to this day.

The burned print on Harry's hand is like the burned hand print on the German "bad-guy" from "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Have you recognized the symbolism of the old man’s hand injury? St the store his hand is wrapped in a bloody bandage . But after Kevin and the old man shake hands after talking in the church , the old man has a clean band aid on. The old man has been healed by his interaction from his pre adolescent counterpart Kevin

I live in Indonesia and this is ALSO our classic Christmas time movie here, literally grew up with it

Kevin McCallister really said: “Defund the police.”

Omg, I love this movie! I grew up watching it, my kids now watch it every Christmas, and hopefully people in the future will watch it too. Happy holidays guys!

My favourite scene from home alone is when kevin put firecrackers in the pot when waits for the gunshots 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What would nostalgia even BE without John Hughes?! 😂

Kulkin and O'Hara have such believable chemistry as a bratty child and an exhausted mother that still love each other no matter what. It's a beautifully portrayed relationship. Completely believable.

Ho Malone, what a classic. Happy holidays guys.

Home Alone 2 needs to happen now, the actor who plays Marv is so amazing at physical comedy. Really didn't see him much after the Home Alone movies, he really has great comedic timing

Just to say, same here in germany guys, we grow up with this movie and its still a Chrismas tradition too watch it on Chrismas !!

Honestly the real true villain of both this movie and the sequel is Uncle Frank. I hate him 100x more than Harry and Marv. I have fun watching the robbers but just looking at Frank makes me mad 😂 Actually his whole family is awful except Fuller and the other uncle who lives in New York cause we hardly see him if at all.

I’m surprised with how much they focused on fuller they didn’t notice it was Kirean Culkain. I had no idea until I really paid attention to the kids face.

It took me 34 years to notice but the scene where the car won't start that really happened and john hughs like it enough that he kept it in

John Williams is the goat of composers

watching this video reminds me I could watch this movie over and over without ever getting bored. Also it reminded me of the KEVIN anime short which I saw yesterday. Amazing how Old Man Marley in that was portrayed like an overly badass kung fu master straight out of Naruto or Dragon Ball or something like that.

24:14 Mac drew those battle plans himself lol

I don't know if Kevin grew up to be Jigsaw, but it's my head canon that Mitch Murphy [the kid who got counted as Kevin] had a cousin named Alex who later became a Detroit police officer.

I, too, thought the screaming guy in *Robin Hood - Men in Tights* reminded me of Kevin here. 😄 Daniel Stern the clueless Bandit. 😅 He's arachnophobic, and that tarantula on his face was fake...for his sake, of course.

I just came across your channel recently and really enjoy it. I don't know if this is how it works but two movies I'd love for you to watch is Big Trouble. Has an amazing cast and really funny, and a Christmas move (I know I'm late) The night before. Love your channel!

Rereacting to Die Hard and Home Alone every year would be fine with me. Two of the best Christmas movies ever.

I'm half expecting the line "The Kenosha Kickers....? We're world famous throughout eastern Wisconsin."

Such a great movie. One I watch Christmas time every year. This, A Christmas Story, and Jingle All the Way.

"... and keep the change you filthy animal!" - said a school mate of mine to a cab driver while drunk out of his mind. yup, that's the stuff that sticks with you

Oh, that tarantula scene always makes me shiver, but I LOVE Marv's scream. XDDD

18:06 I have always loved this movie it's the one most favorite from my childhood..along with part 2..this scene here makes me think about a Stephen King movie wich I was also a very big fan of..amazing that a filmmaker took al those elements wich scares a kid but enjoys it and itś audience at the same time

this is legit in my top 5 movies thx for making me watch it for a third time this week

Merry Christmas fellas.

I love that John Candy and Macaulay were reunited in this after Uncle Buck. Even though they weren't in a scene together, close enough. Also the funeral scene by Candy was completely improvised, which makes it even more hilarious. And Marv's spider death scream is legit. He had arachnophobia. The greatest crime in this movie certainly...even tragedy...is that Kevin didn't even get to eat his Macaroni and Cheese...😞

“he’s like a single, divorced dad” LOL

You know what makes the look Fuller gives him even funnier? Fuller is played by McCauley Culkin’s actual younger brother. That probably wasn’t so much acting as just straight up giving him a look he’d actually given his brother innumerable times before.

Love ur reactions

The best part about Buzz's girlfriend is that they didn't wanna use an actual girl for the pic, so it's the directors son (I think, definitely the son of someone from the staff)

Harry and Marv deserved their own spin off movie lol, two of the funniest knuckleheads in movies.
