Home Alone
One of the more classic Christmas movies of all time in my household. This is certainly something that gets watched every year.
Caulkin has basically disappeared from anything relevant since these movies, but perhaps no child actor is as famous as he was back then. Did a good job in the movie and will always be a Christmas icon.
The highlight for me is the torture chamber that Kevin sets up in his house. It was funny to see what happened to Harry and Marv. Harry and Marv definitely play off of each other brilliantly. Peschi is a really funny guy and it was funny to see him have to act in a reserved and more PG role than like Goodfellas.
I like the heartwarming touches to the film too. How Kevin misses his family and how he unfolds a relationship with his neighbor and eventually unfolds the importance of reaching out to family with his neighbor.
A good solid nostalgic pick for me here. Not a perfect movie, but a fun one.
