Enthralled by this, he proceeds to do everything and anything he was not allowed to do before, including eating ice cream in the morning, watching violent gangster films, jumping on the bed, wrecking his brother&#8217;s room, and having some fun with a <strong>BB gun<\/strong>. Unfortunately for Kevin, his parents have not just disappeared &#8211; they have accidentally left him at home before <strong>going to Paris<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Trouble really starts when two pesky burglars, <strong>Harry Lime<\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000582\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joe Pesci<\/a>) and <strong>Marv Merchants<\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0827663\/\" target=\"_blank\">Daniel Stern<\/a>), decide that their next burglary will be at the McCallister residence. Little do they know Kevin is more than prepared, arming the house with an array of booby-traps that would impress top spies in the American government.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14191 size-full\" title=\"Home Alone scene: Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern\" src=\"http:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/homealonejelenet.jpg\" alt=\"movie scene home alone, Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern\" width=\"1000\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/homealonejelenet.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/homealonejelenet-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/homealonejelenet-768x399.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><br \/>\nJohn Hughes (Beethoven, Flubber, 101 Dalmatians, Ferris Bueller&#8217;s Day Off) wrote this film, and it is no wonder. It is just like <strong>Hughes&#8217; humor<\/strong>. It mixes emotion, belly laughs and a warm-hearted ending all into one little bundle called a movie. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000455\/\" target=\"_blank\">John Hughes<\/a>&#8216; films are usually very good, mainly because he approaches films at a very classic level. He doesn&#8217;t resort to crude, kid jokes. He almost always levels everything out perfectly in his scripts.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, &#8216;Home Alone&#8217; is probably one of the best Christmas movies to rise out of the film industry in the last twenty years. It seamlessly blends humor, pain, emotion, human instinct and some great booby-traps all into one little bundle. This film has stood the test of time greatly.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/6toplists.com\/die-hard\/\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"prev\" >\n<div id=\"prev_link\" >Die Hard<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/6toplists.com\/what-a-wonderful-life\/\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"next\" >\n<div id=\"next_link\" >What a Wonderful Life<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Macaulay&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":86,"featured_media":14201,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1542],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-comedy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/86"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14186"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14186\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53187,"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14186\/revisions\/53187"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
