2. My favourite film is Home Alone. Home Alone is a
1990 American Christmas comedy film written and
produced by John Hughes and directed by Chris
Columbus. The film stars Macaulay Culkin as
Kevin McCallister, a boy who is mistakenly left
behind when his family flies to Paris for their
Christmas vacation. Kevin initially relishes being
home alone, but soon has to contend with two
would-be burglars played by Joe Pesci and Daniel
Stern. The film also features Catherine O'Hara and
John Heard as Kevin's parents.
3. Culkin was nominated for the Golden Globe Award
for Best Actor – Musical or Comedy. After its
release, Home Alone became the highest-grossing
live action comedy film of all time in the United
States, and also held the record worldwide until it
was overtaken by The Hangover Part II in 2011. It
is the highest grossing Christmas movie of all time
at the North American box office. Home Alone has
spawned a successful film franchise with four
sequels, including the 1992 film Home Alone 2:
Lost in New York, the only Home Alone sequel to
have the original cast reprising their roles.
