The second one is ABSOLUTELY worth it. After that… I think they were made for a younger audience

[@LightStreak567]

The fourth one definitely was, and the worst part about the fourth one is it has Kevin but played by a different actor and pretends that the second one never happened. I haven't seen the fifth and sixth one yet. All I know is like the third one, they have a different child protagonist.

[@Jumpman67]

If you want another great John Candy movie check out Uncle Buck. Written and Directed by John Hughes who also wrote and directed Planes Trains and automobiles. John Hughes didn't direct Home alone but he wrote it. Uncle Buck came out the year before Home Alone. Uncle Buck feels a lot like the other two movies.

Daniel Stern (Marv) is terrified of spiders, and initially refused to have the spider anywhere near him. But he eventually told the director he would only do the "spider-scene" for one single take. His high-pitched scream is absolutely real.

[@christopherking4932]

I heard the director told him they were going to use a fake spider and actually used a real one to get that real pure fear on his face.

[@MrTech226]

@@christopherking4932 I read that Stern working with spider wrangler's Barry The Tarantula. Yes, tarantula's name is Barry. Prior to the scene, Stern had to get use to Barry. Stern didn't want to scare Barry because spider might bite him when he did his famous scream.

[@bloodwolfgaming9269]

They initially told Daniel Stern they would be using a fake spider for the scene but at the last second, used the real one without letting Stern know. The look of terror on his face was real, but he couldn't actually scream because he didn't want to spook the tarantula and end up getting bit. So, he had to scream silently and then later, they recorded him screaming and added it back in over the initial scene.

[@christopherking4932]

no the scream was dubbed after because a real scream would have scared the spider Daniel said "You can put it on me ONCE."

For John Candy, I recommend “Uncle Buck” which also features a slightly younger Macaulay Culkin

Her first time reaction was absolutely beautiful...

[@interghost]

Do Home Alone 2 for this xmas... its just as good as the 1st one ;) Also, The Great Outdoors and Uncle Buck are must see Candy movies too

[@MLJ7956]

Great reaction you two... Macaulay Culkin's (Kevin McAllister) character was actually inspired by the character he played a year earlier in 'Uncle Buck', where he does very similar things & behaviors. In fact, it was John Hughes himself (who wrote both films and directed Uncle Buck) that suggested both Macaulay & John Candy for these parts in this film to director Chris Columbus. And it was Hughes who gave this film to Chris Columbus to direct after being fired off of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation (due to creative differences....Hughes also wrote Christmas Vacation). And FYI Chris Columbus also wrote Gremlins. 😉 Oscar winning composer John Williams (Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Superman: The Movie, ET, and countless others) did the musical scores for Home Alone 1 & 2.

[@nsasupporter7557]

Yes, Uncle Buck is the film that would lead to Home Alone subsequently

A doctor watched this movie and did a great video he commented how much pain these guys would really be in, the real extent of thier injuries and even if most would survive all this torture. He estimated if not dead by a miracle they would surely be in the hospital for a couple of months. He said the most dangerous one was the falling down the stairs. He said how they fell surely thats 2 broken backs but the neck snapped back would have been fatal. Makes you think about it in a whole different way

If you guys want to really see his range as a child actor, check out "The Good Son". With both Macaulay Culkin & Elijah Woods as child actors!

[@kevinstull8552]

My favorite John Candy movies are: The Great Outdoors, Cool Runnings, Spaceballs, and Uncle Buck. Fun fact: My aunt and cousin were filmed as background actors during a couple of movie scenes for The Great Outdoor. My cousin's scene was cut and didn't make the theatrical edition of the movie (it was supposed to be when the main characters were at the lake). My aunt can be seen briefly in the background during one of the bar scenes. She's walking behind John Candy and Dan Ackroyd wearing a purple sweater. The movie was filmed close to where my family members lived in the Southern California area.

[@dgirl786]

John Hughes' 'Baby's Day Out' (1994) doesn't get recommended enough. Underrated little gem. 🧡

[@BigGator5]

"You guys give up? Or are you thirsty for more?" Merry Christmas! ✝️ 🙏 🎄 🎁 Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Hope Davis, Paula Newsome, Kristin Minter, and Tracy J. Connor. Family Affair Fact: The boy who played Kevin's cousin Fuller is Macaulay Culkin's little brother Kieran Culkin in his feature film debut. All In Fact: Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern felt indifferent about the movie's potential during shooting, so they intentionally gave over-the-top performances, neither one of them believed this movie would become a massive success. Mrs. Doubtfire Award Fact: The picture Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) finds of Buzz's (Devin Ratray) girlfriend was a picture of a boy made up to look like a girl, because director Chris Columbus thought it would be too cruel to make fun of a girl like that. The boy that was used in the photo was art director Dan Webster's son. What Script Fact: The line "You guys give up, or are you thirsty for more?" was improvised by Macaulay Culkin. Marv's lines "Why the hell are you dressed like a chicken?" and "Maybe he committed suicide?" were improvised by Daniel Stern. John Candy filmed his part in only one day, albeit a twenty-three-hour day. Almost all of his dialogue was improvised. Thank You Very Much Fact: There is a legend that Elvis Presley (who died in 1977) made a cameo in this movie. Many of those who believe that Elvis is still alive maintained that the heavily bearded man standing in the background of the scene where Mrs. McCallister is shouting at the desk clerk (just before she meets John Candy) as Elvis. They asserted for years that the man is in the correct age range (Elvis would have been around 55 at the time), makes a head movement that Elvis frequently made during concerts, and that no record has ever been found about this particular actor's participation in the movie. The theory was finally debunked in 2018, when investigative journalists identified the extra as a man called Gary Richard Grott, who had passed away from a heart attack in February 2016. Grott's family was able to confirm that it was Grott in the movie, and also revealed that he had been working regularly as an extra on several Chris Columbus' movies, although Home Alone (1990) was the first one that he actually appeared in.

1. John Candy did his part at union rate/FREE for his friend John Hughes RIP 😇😇 2. The items in Kevin's bags were all empty and not the same as what he had a checkout. 3.Marv /Daniel Stern has arachnophobia. That's why he freaked out. He insisted on doing that scene in one take. (NOTE: tarantula spiders aren't venomous to humans but look scary). 4. "Angels with Filthy Souls" is not a real movie. 5. GOOF: Harry has tar all over his foot when he steps on the stairs but when he grabs his foot, and all the other scenes after that no tar. 6. NO WAY could a child get the rope tight enough between the house and treehouse without a winch of some kind. 7. There's ANOTHER NO WAY Kevin could clean up that fast. 8. Home Alone II is good. However, Kevin as good hearted as he is, he gets mean. 9. Macaulay Culkin worked with John Candy (and Hughes) in "Uncle Buck". That's how he got this gig. Great first time/share. HINT HINT

Also the funeral scene by Candy was completely improvised, which makes it even more hilarious. And Marv's spider death scream is legit. He had arachnophobia. The greatest crime in this certainly...is that Kevin didn't even get to eat his Macaroni and Cheese....tragedy.

I must insist that you check out Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and Home Alone 3; I know it’s a different character, but it’s just as good and hilarious! Also the 6th film Home Sweet Home Alone; it’s unique and pays tribute to the first 2 films and has Buzz in a cameo role. ​​⁠ Hone Alone 3 focuses on a boy name Alex, who is left home alone when he is sick with the chickenpox as his parents are working, and his older siblings are in school. He must defend his home against four espionage agents who seem to have an interest in his new remote toy car. Home Alone 4 uses the characters Kevin again with Marv, but they are different actors in their respective roles and in this, I guess you can say alternate universe, Kevin’s parents are in the middle of a divorce, and this time he must not only go against Marv, but his wife, Vera. In Home Alone: The Holiday Heist aka Home Alone 5, a video game crazy kid named Finn and his family moved to a new house that is supposedly haunted and has to battle against three art thieves as well as rescue her sister, who is trapped in a secret room in the basement. 👦🏼👨🏻‍🦲👨🏻‍🦱👩🏻‍🦰👴🏻🎄🏠😱😈 🍕📺🛒🔫🪤🕷❤️💛💙

1-3 are absolutely worth watching. A lot of people don't like 3 but I love the new kid Alex. After that don't bother. The one room he didn't clean up was Buzz's. I figure the old man helped him set things right in the rest of the house. Uncle Buck is one John Candy and McCauley Culkin did together before Home Alone.

[@nonconsensualopinion]

I doubt it. No responsible adult is going to save a kid from criminals, aid them in cleaning the house/scene of the crime, and then leave them to sleep alone in the house. Honestly though, it's a huge plot hole regardless. What did the guy do? Walk Kevin to his door and just say goodnight? He would have insisted on speaking with his parents. So the whole idea of the old man helping at the end is a big problem. What would have been a hilariously dark twist is if the old man really was a serial killer like Buzz said, killed Marv and Harry, and put their bodies in the trash can of salt!

[@toodlescae]
