Home alone is my favourite Christmas film. I first saw it when I was 5-6 in the early nineties, and now watch it with my own kids. Have spent 25 odd years wanting to slide down the stairs, but never being allowed to, or daring too. It has it all really, a big dollop of cheesiness, good actors, pathos, comedy, slapstick and a great film score. Ok it looks a bit dated now, but so do I, and my kids love it so must resonate with them too I guess. So say goodnight Kevin and merry Christmas ya filthy animals.
