The Best Xmas Movie Of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2006)

My earliest memories of watching Christmas movies lie with this film. I am now 17 and I still love it. Christmas is usually a time where filmmakers go wild, churning out any film with big name stars in the hope of making a fast buck, but Home Alone is so much more than that. The plot is slightly unrealistic but that adds to the magic of the film. Macaulay Culkin really belies his years and gives an amazing performance as Kevin McAllister, an eight year old boy left Home Alone by his family. This film really encapsulates the feelings and emotions of Christmas for me, and although the ending may be slightly predictable, it does bring a tear to my eye. A real classic film for all the family, without a doubt my favourite film of all time!
