In hindsight looking back I should have had it around 18-20, but then it may not have made this list.

I've seen Home Alone, and I thought the movie was okay, but I think it's an overrated movie.
I was planning to watch at least one of the Austin Powers movies for this countdown because I expected at least one of them to make the countdown, but I watched the trailers, and I hated the main character, so I skipped the movies. They just don't seem like my type of humor, and I had other movies to watch that I knew would have a better chance to make my list.

FWIW, I've seen 6/6 so far.
Fargo is the best film but was not in consideration at all for me for this list.
South Park is probably the straight-up funniest of the films so far (with respect to AP).
The Lady Eve is the film I am probably most likely to watch again (though Fargo is close).
I would only watch Home Alone again if someone I really like really wanted to. Otherwise I will never see that one again and I'll be fine with that.
None of the films so far made my list and only The Lady Eve made even the longest version of the list that I made (60-70 movies).

From the viewer's perspective he's unattractive, rude, can't fight, and dumb as a sack of bricks. But in-universe he's functionally James Bond.
Part of the conceit of the first movie is that he time travels to the 90s where he has no public reputation and the daughter of his 60s-era Bond Girl share's the audience's low opinion of him.

@Diehl40, I happen to notice that The Lady Eve and Sullivan's Travels have the same number of points and are on the same number of ballots (saying the latter in case that's deemed a tie-breaker).
For the sake of talking about these lists, shouldn't that be a tie? Does the site not support ties for the lists? (I guess the latter is more of a @Yoda question).

For example, in the animation countdown, A Bug’s Life and Tarzan each got 5 votes and 57 points, but someone had Tarzan as their number one while the highest voter for A Bug’s Life had it at six so Tarzan placed higher on the countdown. I posted voting stats in that countdown so you can see what I mean here.

Also as a former host of one of these as well - in the pre-1930 list we even had to drop down a level further as two fillums were tied on points, lists and highest placement so the finishing order for those two was decided on the number of those highest placements each received. God knows what I'd have done had those also been equal, might've had to resort to the most number of letters in the title or something
Home Alone is the quintessential Christmas movie for me, and I am not even a Christian. But it, and its sequels, come on the telly every December and I never get tired of watching them.
Fargo is a brilliant dark comedy.
