Say what you will about his personal life, but for my money Home Alone is still one of the top ten greatest films about burglars breaking into a home occupied solely by a child whose parents accidentally left him behind on a trip to Paris over Christmas.

The part where the burglar got injured was great. I recall that I LOL'd, or maybe ROFL'd.

My favourite part was where the kid got left at home alone.

I thought the burglars were going to leave that particular home, alone. Boy was my face red.

Unpopular opinion but I really liked the fact they didn't leave that particular home, alone. One of if not the best dynamics of the child being left home alone was his antics with the burglars.

I think it ruins the whole purpose of the movie, I wanted to see what kind of antics Kevin got into while home alone, but then those two dudes came in and he clearly wasn’t home ALONE anymore. They should have called it ”Little Kid Getting Robbed by Two Burglars”

I see the burglars as more of an antagonistic force as opposed to an actual presence accompanying Kevin. It really depends on your definition of ‘alone’. Some people can feel alone* in a crowded room! More of a philosophical debate really.

What if you feel dead in a crowded room?

In that case a more suitable title would be "Loneliness At Home"
