| Raised Hands Surround Us Three Nails To Protect Us  |
Came out in 1990, I was 7 and remember watching it in the theater with my Dad. I have likely watched every year around Christmas ever since. Maybe missed a couple here and there. Watched it with one of the boys tonight and it’s still just as good 34 years later. We’ll watch Home Alone 2 here in the next week or so too. Sure wish they still made good movies that are great to watch year after year. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have.

We watched Home Alone 2 with our youngest last night and he laughed his head off. I was a bit older than he is now when Home Alone came out, but I remember laughing as hard in the theatre. Pretty cool that the movies hold up as well as they do. Kevin's parents are terrible. | |||

Both great. To bring a bit of minor politics into it, you can get a feel for the channel's leaning with HA2, if they cut the Trump scene or for 'time'. There was a YouTube channel that analyzed the injuries & how many times the baddies would have died. Poor Marv. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Hmmmmmm. We watched HA2 it on Disney+ last year and the Trump scene was in it. We’ll see if it is there this year. Guess, I need to buy the Discs. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand.

I've seen it a few times when we had cable, the usual 'edited for tume' message at the beginning & the brief hotel scene being cut. [/politics] The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Many times when I tell someone to keep the change, I would mentally complete it with "...ya filthy animal."  They really should have considered a "Angels with Filthy Souls" spin-off. That guy Ralph Foody was good in it. | |||

I loved it as a kid (I was 8) and I still love it. We watch it multiple times a year. My kids even ask to watch it outside of the Christmas season. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

We've about a dozen or so Christmas movies on DVD or BD, Home Alone and Home Alone 2 being among them. Eventually they get stale from seeing them so many times. Then we stop watching them until one of us remarks "We haven't watched ... in a while." That happened with Christmas In Connecticut last night. (Wherein I realized the young Barbara Stanwyck in some ways reminds me for all the world of Téa Leoni [with home I've been deeply in lust ever since I first saw her in The Naked Truth].) We might be ready to watch HA again. Not sure when we last watched it. "America is at that awkward stage.

My two sons watched that movie so many times I think I could quote all the lines just before they say them. | |||

Have to chime cause I cannot resist. I have seen approximately the first 30 minutes of this movie and in hindsight, that was about 25 minutes more than I should have. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You missed the best parts of the movie. Most of it—certainly everything you saw—is all setup for the real comedy. There are parts of that movie that, the first couple times I saw it, I laughed so hard my sides hurt. "America is at that awkward stage.

This is one of my favorite Christmas movies. I love how in the second one they went from traps that would hurt a burglar, to traps that kill. Bricks to the head, electrocution, 2 story falls, a swinging iron pipe to the head. Marv is a really stupid, but super durable burglar. BTW, we watched the 2nd one on Disney streaming and Trump is still in there. No one's life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.- Mark Twain | |||

Marv's tarantula scream is one of the great moments in cinema history. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

Watched Home Alone 2 tonight and while not as good as the 1st it’s dang near it. They did just a good job mirroring the 1st.
And they do it one better in Home Alone 2 when he gets shocked trying to turn on the sink that Kevin rigged the arc welder to. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

The first Home Alone was hilarious and on the same level of hilarity as Airplane! "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||
