Home Alone, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

Home Alone is the story of a boy who is left home alone during the Christmas Holidays.

After a fight with his older brother, Buzz, over Little Nero's pizza, in front of the rest of the family, results in him being sent up to the third floor for the night, Kevin McCallister (Culkin) wishes that his family would simply disappear. After a power line failure during the night which resets all the alarm clocks, the rest of the family rushes to leave to go on a Christmas vacation to Paris, France. During the confusion, Kevin is accidentally left at home by himself and experiences what it is like to be independent for the first time, but two burglars, Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern), plan to break-into his house. But Kevin sets up traps out of household items. The intruders are caught, and Kevin is reunited by his family who came back.

I never get tired of watching Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York are classics you must have in your collection.

Although 2 more sequels where made (Home Alone 3 and Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House) I've always prefered the Originals with Macaulay Culkin.
