Home Alone (1990) REACTION!

[@Spydelius]

Marv scream that tarantula scene. All time best 😂

[@Jcubed67]

Followed by Harry’s “What are you doin’ Marve?” and Marve proceeding to crack a couple of Harry’s ribs!

[@lala_sparkles8035]

He was afraid of spiders and they told him it would be fake 😂

[@brandoman79]

The actor who played Marv suffers from arachnophobia, and they told him on set that they would be using a plastic spider, so when they used an actual spider and placed it on him; that was the actor's actual scream/reaction to having a spider placed on him. Afterwards he told the Director that he better have gotten the shot correct; because he refused to redo the scene for another take.

[@ctmdarkonestm]

that and stepping on the nail are all time great movie screams

[@marcpower4167]

​@brandoman79 well actually he only mimed the scream, he recorded it after and they edited it in. He agreed to have the actual tarantula on his face, but he couldn't scream in real time cause it was too dangerous.

[@johnniekight1879]

"Home Alone : Lost In New York" is well worth watching. None of the others really are.

[@ALT·245]

I would recommend still watching the sequels, that way she learns about how sometimes sequels can kill franchises.

[@vavinecetti]

Lost In New York is so good! The year is not complete without it.

[@andrewneese6484]

I was going to sat this same thing. I pretend that there are only 2 Home Alone movies and the others never happened

[@TheKingSource]

Home ALone 3 shlould be its own stand alone movie.

[@marcpower4167]

3 is okay, but after that they get bad.

[@manofconstantsorrow]

It's a tradition in Poland to watch Home Alone and Die Hard during Christmas. Once TV stations tried to omit these movies in their schedule and it caused an outrage.

[@vaikkajoku]

KURrRrRrWA! 😲

[@fionnmaccumhaill3257]

Check out "It's A Wonderful Life" (the black and white edition). You won't regret it.

[@jimmiekarlsson4458]

Same for us in Sweden.

[@ChuckHuffmaster]

Two fine Christmas movies and I also like Gremlins and Lethal Weapon

[@leannmiller7153]

Same here for my family in the U.S. I’m 71, and Home Alone is a must watch during Christmas. Die Hard is watched every Christmas Eve.

[@foxx037x]

Now home alone 2. Just as much fun.

[@NerdJared]

Very festive look! So many fun moments. Love the tarantula scream lol. And yes, we wanna hear Emma sing!! Record it! Favorite Christmas movie? oh Gosh you need to watch Die Hard! lol. Great reaction

[@Emma_Reactions]

Ok!))) will do) 😉🎶😘

[@henkebenke573]

Next movie home alone 2❤

[@ЮрийКрутов-е4ч]

Cool Christmas hat.

[@Emma_Reactions]

Thanks 🤩

[@hp9697]

Great reaction, Emma! This is one of my favourites as well! "It's a Wonderful Life" is my absolute fav! Please watch that and make sure you have some tissues with you when you do! Thanks, hope you have a Merry Christmas this year!

[@clarkness77]

Fun fact the most written line in movie history is "lets get out of here" and its said at least 5 times here

[@krisfrederick5001]

I love that John Candy and Macaulay were reunited in this after Uncle Buck. Even though they weren't in a scene together, close enough. Also the funeral story 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 movie certainly...is that Kevin didn't even get to eat his Macaroni and Cheese.. He is most known for this but also did some other things "The Good Son" "My Girl" I highly recommend. "What, now?" "No tomorrow ya egghead yeah now!" 😂

[@briguy399]

Hi Emma. Wanted to thank you for your Xmas movie pick. 1 of my all-time Fav Christmas films. My mother passed away last week. It's been hard on My family. You're a warm positive lovely person. You and your channel have been A very positive thing in My l ife. Especially lately. Thank you for All you do.

[@3DJapan]

I remember this was in theaters for longer than any movie I've seen. It actually came out on video while it was still in the theaters.

[@timroebuck3458]

Christmas adventures of Clint Eastwood when he was a little kid.

[@Randy-Wright_Edt]

I've seen this movie many times but watching your reaction made me feel like I was watching it for the first time!

[@EnsoTathata]

У Эммы уже предрождественское настроение!! 🥂🎄🧦

[@Emma_Reactions]

😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@SeanReilly-nx6si]

My top five favorite moments 1. John Williams score 2. Marv screaming at the tarantula 3. Marv saying “We’re the wet bandits!” 4. John Candy bringing Catherine O’Hara home 5. “1,2,10! Keep the change ya filthy animal!”

[@paddyk1888]

Home alone 2 is even better.loved watching them part of my childhood memories

[@nelsanderson1726]

I read a movie critic who said this was a terrible movie but I went instead. I got the last seat in the theater and laughed so hard that I had tears in my eyes. Just a wonderful movie. The next movie is also fabulous.

[@Javelin_Bayraktar_]

"I forgot my reading glasses"😂

[@Do0msday]

This is a great Christmas movie. Home Alone 2 is also really good. There are so many great Christmas movies to choose from as well. My all-time favorite is "It's a Wonderful Life", but there's also A Christmas Carol, Jingle All the Way, The Polar Express, The Santa Clause, A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, Elf, Miracle on 34th Street, The Year Without a Santa Claus, etc, etc, etc, etc. So many amazing movies that have great messages and are really heartfelt.

[@klau5z]

Emma, even though there is still a little over a month left, thanks me for putting me in the Christmas mood.🤗 I hope to see your reaction to Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

[@craighornfischer2767]

i lovve your reaction to this movie on of my favorites that you reacted to love your comments about children

[@wbj2000]

One of my favorite Christmas movies. Very funny too. The scream from the spider was my favorite moment. Another very good Christmas movie is the Polar Express.

[@EnsoTathata]

Эмма, "Bad Santa" please!))

[@didonna1974]

Merry Christmas Emma ❤ Awesome reaction as always ❤

[@Emma_Reactions]

Happy holidays!

[@leffew2000]

Oh Emma, you look so adorable in your outfit. Thank you for your reaction.

[@torbjornkvist]

Director Chris Columbus is a protegé of Steven Spielberg, and you can see that in his films, they all have this wholesome, magical feeling, including music by John Williams. HOME ALONE was written and produced by another creator of good comedies, John Hughes. Columbus directed the first two HARRY POTTER movies and he produced the third.

[@paulytheking7365]

John Williams wrote such an amazing score for this film!

[@freefolkofthenuminousoccid9054]

Looking adorable as an elf 😅☺️ love when you have a great laugh 😂 the nail in the foot always makes me cringe no matter what

[@Lefty0000]

In case no one has mentioned it already, Daniel Stern -- the guy who plays Marv-- is actually terrified of spiders. So I think they had to do that scene in one take and that was a genuine scream lol

[@Emma_Reactions]

Oh yeah))), it was fantastic screaming 🙀😂😂😂😂😂

[@Fuzz32]

That scream came from his very soul.

[@terrylindsay1984]

I saw a documentary about the movie and daniel stern(marv) said he wasnt told about them putting the spider on his face​@@Emma_Reactions

[@lloyderc]

You’re so beautiful first off. This is one of the greatest comedy movies of all time. Being a Christmas movie is just a bonus.

[@unite4peaceonearth]

Home Alone and A Christmas Story are essential Christmas time movies 🎄🎁🎅

[@GrogMindwhip]

And of course DIe Hard. But you probably knew that already. 😄

[@marvinsarracino116]

Poor Marv! His screaming is priceless! You are a cute Elf Emma! Thus movie is like a required watch for Christmas! Other good Christmas movies are: A Christmas Story, A Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart), The Grinch and Jingle All the Way. Thanks Emma the Elf!❤️💛🧑‍🎄

[@kingspanky2794]

The true crime is Kevin didn't get to eat the Mac and cheese 😮

[@John-tn7nm]

37:46 The actor was really afraid of spiders. So his scream was genuine 😂

[@StevenJShow]

As a young boy, after seeing this movie over and over again, mom and I went shopping and as we were checking out I said to the cashier "keep the change, you filthy animal." Mom had to restrain laughter. The cashier didn't think it was so funny.

[@StCerberusEngel]

Retail worker here. I would have. Probably would've told you that Santy Claus don't visit the funeral homes. lol

[@drums4metal]

Ever since I can remember, I have watched this movie on Christmas with my family every year.

[@gibbs615]

This was always one of my FAVORITE Christmas movies since my 90's childhood!🤣 Now you need to see HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN NEW YORK🎄

[@prescott7333]

I love this movie, such a timeless classic!

[@totomomo18]

Great movie. Did you react to It's A Wonderful Life the ultimate christmas movie ? if you did not please do so.

[@Emma_Reactions]

ok!!!😘

[@joshuasharrock466]

Thank you for the smile. I enjoyed the reaction. This movie is emotional at the end. Cheers from Ohio

[@glenncabacungan9269]

Glad you liked the music Emma. Can you believe it? The guy who wrote the music for Star Wars can write great Christmas music too.

[@larryairgood4320]

One of the things that this movie did that helped to make it so popular in its day was that it tapped into the psychology of the many many latchkey kids and their fears. To watch on screen a young kid successfully ward off a couple of bad guys was phenomenally exciting and satisfying to the youth of the day. It was a movie that the kids insisted on seeing again and again at the movie theatres.

[@AcceleratedEvolution]

It's hard for me to believe that someone hasn't seen this film before...

[@TD-mg6cd]

Brenda Lee recorded ROCKIN' AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE when she was only 13 years old!

[@GreyRainCloud73]

Hi Emma: Wonderful reaction! One of my top scenes is when Kevin goes into the cathedral and the children's choir sing "O Holy Night". I love to hear the children sing. I hope you will watch Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. It is a direct continuation of Marv & Harry. It also has a scene of being in a grand opera house and they are playing "O Come All Ye Faithful" in full orchestra. It is quite beautiful to hear and see all the violinists playing in unison. Another movie with Joe Pesci is "With Honors" (1994) - Brendan Fraiser. This is a most unique role for Pesci, that shows his acting versatility - it is beautiful, heartwarming, brilliant and humorous. It is such a deep and smartly crafted movie. Thanks for the upload, I wish you a good day as well. Take care.

Kevin = Jigsaw

[@rhphotocdn]

John Candy, I forgot he made a cameo in this movie. If you liked this movie, check out "Uncle Buck" with John Candy. You'll laugh and laugh. (Also Planes Trains and Automobiles with John Candy & Steve Martin)

[@rneelymedia9152]

When we think of Maestro John Williams and his music, we often of course think of Jaws, E.T. and Star Wars. But he has done so much more amazing work, including this one (another Oscar nominated score). Such genius writing once again.

[@AndyJayroe]

Another similar and great watch is Uncle Buck. The little actor that played Kevin is in that movie. In fact, there is a scene where he is left home alone with his little sister for a bit, and it gave the writer the idea to write this movie (Home Alone). This movie literally was born out of Uncle Buck.

[@cherylsims5636]

It's too Early for CHRISTMAS. Where's Thanksgiving movies?? Try "Planes, trains and Automobiles"

[@orangeandblackattack]

Great reaction! Macauley does way better acting in "Uncle Buck", also with John Candy. You must watch if you haven't yet!

Cinephiles talk a lot about the legendary sequels such as Terminator 2, Aliens, Ghostbusters 2, hell, even Bad Boys 2, but not enough mention Home Alone 2!!! You'll see.... 🙃

[@Yevgeniy-UA]

39:38 Fun fact: Harry tells Kevin, "I'm going to bite each one of your fingers off one at a time," and in rehearsal, Pesci actually did physically bite him.

[@Wreath83]

Like that movie a lot. Thank you

[@guanyin19]

I think you edited out an innocent line from the movie 🤣 "Is it true that French babes don't shave their pits?" (he meant armpits, not the downstairs area 🌮) This was a funny rumor that circulated through the United States during the 1980s, and the joke was included in this film.

[@InsaneFinn]

"Fun" fact: During the rehearsal of the scene where Harry is threatening to bite Kevin's fingers off, according to interview of Macaulay Culkin Joe Pesci actually did bite his finger leaving a lifetime scar.

[@alancoy5305]

Emma, I recommend you watch Home Alone 2: Lost In New York (1992) and Home Alone 3 (1997). Home Alone 3 has a different cast and totally different characters. However, it is still as funny as the first two, one worth watching. If you want to see another great Macauley Culkin film. I recommend "Richie Rich" a great 1994 family suspense drama about a very rich yet very nice family. Culkin stars with the late Edward Hermann, Jonathan Hyde, Christine Ebersole, and John Laroquette. A very well done film. Directed by Donald Petrie. Finally, id you want to see another funny film by John Hughes, I recommend "Babys Day Out". A great 1994 dramedy about a kidnapped baby and three very bumbling and hilarious crooks. Stars Lara Flynn Boyle, Joe Mantagena, Joe Pantoliano, Brian Haley, and Fred Thompson. Great review of a John Hughes classic.

I'm sure it was on the list for a while but I commented on a video 3 days ago about watching this and here it is! Love the reactions.

[@redviper6805]

37:45-37:55 He sure gave Fay Wray (King Kong 1933) a run for her money. One of the best movie screams ever!😆

[@Letha-Mae]

I loved your reaction Emily! Can I ask for a couple of suggestions nobody ever watches and it's about female baddies I think you would enjoy it! "CLOSE" with Noomi Rapace, "AVA" with Jessica Chastain, and " THE OLD GUARD" with Charlize Theron. Thank you soooo much ★♪∞†˙⁠❥⁠˙

[@3DJapan]

17:33 The scream was the biggest shot of the movie. But it makes no sense. Nothing would sting. After shave only stings after shaving and they showed that his razor had no blade in it.

[@martinrayner6466]

As always thank you for your great reaction. Another movie on par with this is *"Baby's Day Out".* _(Hint)_

[@donnilloyd1355]

One of the Best Christmas movies ever made. And you will never convince me that you have not seen it until now. But, you played the part well, so Congrats. Home Alone 2 is just as good, minus the initial shock of it all. I never thought that they could do it again, but somehow, they did. Great review and thank you for sharing it with us. 🎄

The house. That is a real house in a upper class suburb outside Chicago. It recently was sold for just over $5 Million. So it is definitely a rich person area. Also the Airport Express is (or at least was I'm not sure if it still is) a real thing in Chicago area. It will pick you up and give you a ride to and from either of Chicago's 2 major airports.

[@Rob_Infinity3]

19:59 - That moment where Kevin comes face to face with the van and screams was actually filmed backwards and then played in reverse for the movie. So to film it. The van started at the bottom of the driveway with Kevin standing just in front of it and screaming. Then they backed the van slowly back up the driveway. Then when the movie was being edited. They put that part in reverse to make it look like the van nearly hit Kevin as he passed the driveway.

[@Emma_Reactions]

Joe Pesci getting his head roasted by that blow-torch was done using a technique called Pepper's Ghost. The flame itself was actually a carefully-positioned reflection.

We all fell in love with little Macaulay Culkin. He was so wholesome in these films. Then Life and Fame grabbed him, as often happens to the Young Ones, and things got ugly... but I believe he's finally safe and sane again... many years later.

[@jonnycola86]

He has settled down and has two kids now. He got himself a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. He had his problems, but I have no doubt he is a lovely person.

You should watch home alone : In New York it’s the best home alone movie! Its always super fun to watch

[@Eric-t6s9s]

Great movie. Obviously you have to watch it as a movie with the suspension of disbelief like all movies because of course this wouldn't happen. You could get a neighbor or cops there shortly and none of this would happen. But I remember this movie and 3 ninjas where the same sort of thing happens and they fight back against incompetent criminals.

Again John Williams at the helm for the soundtrack. Just like in the first two Harry Potter movies, working with Chris Columbus. I particularly love the Thieves theme ! And also the remaster of Bethlehem Star as a battle preparation song ! Daniel Stern's scream is real, he's arachnophobic and no one told him this would happen !

Having a bad year, not in the holiday spirit at all. But your laughter was beautiful to watch . For more funny Christmas movies, try Elf and Bad Santa (a lot more adult humor than Home Alone).

Не знаю как сейчас, но раньше в СНГ фильмы: Один дома 1-2, Крепкий орешек 1-3, Новая рождественская сказка или Scrooged в оригинале (1988) с Биллом Мюррей, Гремлины и С лёгким паром (ну это уже чисто русская аудитория) считались рождественскими фильмами. Лично я всегда их смотрю на Рождество каждый год. Ещё смотрю Санта Клаус 1-3 (1994, 2002, 2006) с Тим Аллен. И если захочется что-то необычное предлагаю Са́нта-Хря́кус: Страшдественская сказка в оригинале Terry Pratchett's Hogfather 1-2 (2006) очень интересный там Санта, такого нигде нет.
