Just think in over a years time from now this film will be 30 years old, damn i miss my childhood, growing up in the 90s were superb, much better times than now!

[@winterlynn9012]

Yup I know its mostly nostalgia talking but it's true..childhood really can be magical especially around Christmas. I remember my mom and her best friend taken me to see this movie on Thanksgiving 1990 and the theatre was packed and everyone was laughing and cheering throughout the movie. Afterward I went home and tried to build my own "Kevin Booby traps" of course they were terrible and didn't work but as a child I believed it was possible. Definitely miss the 90s, best times!

It's a pure synergy to me! Saying it's mostly the music is severely underrating the brilliant script, acting and cinematography. Not that John Williams didn't write on of the greatest soundtracks of all time for this movie :).

[@yoshi31713]

All the cast and crew members were awesome, but I really think two people stand above all others. And that's Chris Columbus, the director, and John Williams, the composer. These two are true legends and truly massively talented.... And they would go on to do Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone together, another masterpiece.

They really know what the were doing back then. Like when the kids say they've been told the movie will still be aired 15 years down the line, they were right.

macaulays comment about his Joe pesci scar on his finger... I'd be proud too! 😂

[@guywiththebottle]

I was actually a little bit disturbed by that. Joe would have had to bite way too hard to even be able to create a scar. You would think that a grown man, particularly an actor that has to care about stunt safety, would be able to control his jaws enough not to tear the skin like that. Even if it was just for the response on the boys face. Joe should definitely have been severely reprimanded for that. Very unprofessional.

[@jessicaness5314]

I would love it if Macaulay Culkin returned as Kevin McCallister in a new Home Alone movie. I know he said he wouldn't do it again, but I think Macaulay would do it again if the director made sure Kevin McCallister had a love interest as an adult.

[@PrimeroJinJusuke]

If they do make a new Home Alone with Culkin, they should make something different with it. In the first two films, it was about him finding out (twice) that being alone wasn’t so fun. This time they should make Kevin trying to invite people (e.g. his family) to his home, but things don’t go so easy, but he keeps fighting for it anyway. Maybe have him invite Harry and Marv for Christmas who both rehabilitated from their time in prison. And instead of using booby traps to fight criminals, he could use his improvised gadgets and tools to help and save someone, like victims in a train trash or something.
