In case you've forgotten, here are some magic moments which help explain why 'Home Alone' is amazing.
Culkin miming 'White Christmas' in the mirror.
The party that never was.
Joe Pesci covered in feathers.
John Candy continuously talking about Polka music.
Culkin saying to the cashier; "Ma'am, I'm eight years old. You think
I would be here alone?" (scrunches face) "I don't think so"
"I'm gonna give you to the count of 10, to get your lying, yellow, no-good keister off my property, before I pump your guts full of lead! "
People continuously crashing into the statue.
Last, but not least - my favourite moment...
"Fuller, go easy on the Pepsi!"
Nice. It's good enough to forgive the 2nd film. Just wish they stopped at two.
ReplyDeleteOH MY WORD I LOVE THIS FILM. when I was little and at my gran's for the night I used to "stay up late" til nine and watch it every single time. This post is brining it all back - maybe I should dig it out now? xx
ReplyDeleteYes, you should definitely dig it out. It gets better every time you watch it. I have loved it ever since I was a kid, it's just SO watchable, SO quotable. Movie magic!
ReplyDeletehaha i always have scenes from home alone randomly pop up into my head while i casually go about my day.
ReplyDeletein regards to your poll (which is now closed) can i say that i haven't watched either of the films? haha
I love that scene with John Candy and Catherine O'Hara in the back of the truck when he's telling her everything will be fine, Candy's absolutely great there.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, I love this film but you forgot the old man with the shuvel!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteAh - great movie! I especially loved the scene, when Kevin was standig in front of the mirror in the morning and singing with the hairdryer and putting his daddy´s aftershave in his face. That was SO CUTE!
ReplyDeleteWish you a great day today! geisslein
I used to watch that movie all the time. :)
ReplyDelete#1 is my personal favorite.
I love the scene with this "I'm gonna give you to the count of 10, to get your lying, yellow, no-good keister off my property, before I pump your guts full of lead! " For years I thought it was a real movie. I think its the greatest film because I one day also took my sled down my stairs. It was such a ride.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the love thing too. I've been there.
