Ok, so we all know that 'Home Alone' is one of THE BEST HOLIDAY MOVIES EVER, if not one of the best movies ever, in general. Parents forget their eight year old kid at home when they go to Paris? What might seem like an impossible premise is well executed in this John Hughes written movie. Not only to we get to watch the cutest little kid on the planet doing silly fun little kid stuff that's to be expected when left alone (watching 'filth', eating 'junk' and riding a sled down the stairs) but the movie has a lot of heart (creepy neighbour didn't kill parents, he is just estranged from son, and with Kevin discovers the importance of family-especially around Christmas). Of course the most fun of the whole film is watching Kevin beat the shit out of two crooks with cleverly placed traps (all signs point to Kevin being a total maniac, by the way).
The movie is so epic that LFO dedicated a line to it in their epic song 'Summer Girls'.
But Home Alone isn't the only Christmas movie starring Macaulay. Does nobody else fucking love 'The Nutcracker'?
It's a total Christmas classic! The crazy ass Grandfather! The Mouse King! The Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy! I was fucking obsessed with this movie/story book/ballet when I was little (went ever year).
So, yeah, Macaulay Culkin is basically my fav little Christmas BF.
