It’s so close to Christmas, and you just know the TV guide is going to be packed full of your favourite classics for a few days.And there’s a ton of classic Christmas films to choose from, like Love Actually, Elf, and The Polar Express, but there’s one more that’s got to be watched before the big day – and that’s Home Alone.The 1990 film that kick-started an eight-year-old Macaulay Culkin’s career as he takes on the role of Kevin McCallister, who is left home alone (get it?) after his massive family forgot him when rushing off to Paris for the Christmas holiday.

When Kevin wakes up alone, some not-so-cunning robbers take the opportunity to break into the house, where Kevin’s quick wit allows him to protect his home.The Home Alone movie is one that just brings the whole family together. It’s got Christmas comedy, a stellar cast, and heartfelt moments.However, some people are sticklers for details, and were left scratching their heads when wondering just how his family could have left him behind.
