"What kinds of idiots do you hire here?" "the best in new York" That part killed me lol!

The scenes when Kevin's mom arrives home and they hug and when Marley finally hugs his granddaughter cause Kevin told him to call his son, should've been included.

Kevin screaming is my favorite part.

Home Alone 2 was the best especially when Marv was electric-shocked on 13:25 😂😂😂

Who else felt that brick coming at them

The part where Marv and Harry pretend to walk up the stairs get me every time "Oh you got me!"

'KEVIN YOU SPENT $967 DOLLARS ON ROOM SERVICE!!!!!?"

I would've put the very last scene from part 1 where Kevin looks from the window and sees his neighbor reunite with his family. Gets me everytime

My favorite booby trap was from Home Alone 2 when yet again Harry has his head set on fire. Harry starts panicking like anybody would if their head was on fire and notices a toilet that he decides Is the perfect thing to stick his burning head into. Harry flips himself up on the toilet and starts lowering his head into what he thinks is water and right before his burning head touches the liquid, the camera switches to an outside view of the building and then boom, an explosion that lights up the entire building lol.

Narrator: Number 1: All the Booby-Traps (The Home Alone franchise). Me: I knew it!!

The christmas isn't christmas without Kevin 😀😀

Home Alone: Awesome Home Alone 2: Great Home Alone 3: Ehhhh... Home Alone 4: What is going on Home Alone 5: well, snoop dogg's in it for one thing.

This is my favorite Christmas movie.

My favorite scene of all time has to be the after shave scream. The funny part is, he does it a second time, clearly forgetting the pain from the first time X3 I also love the "I made my family disappear... *sly eyebrow face* Then in the second it was "Mom's in Florida...and I'm in New York..." *same look from the first movie*

So Home Alone is basically a PG rated SAW to the burglars

KEVIN! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY ROOM?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!‽ KEVIN! YOU SPENT NINE HUNDRED SIXTY DOLLARS ON ROOM SERVICE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽

In my opinion, Home Alone 2 was even better than the first. Stakes were higher, story was better, and it didn't feel like just another cheap sequel.

home alone 1&2 were the best home alone 3 is watchable home alone 4&5 atrocious.

McCauley Culcan will always be the home alone boy in My soul .

Harry: I dunno, maybe he'll lettuce in? Marv: Yeah... kids are stupid. Me (Having seen Home Alone 2 back when it was on Netflix): Not this kid.

I am so glad they did mention Tim Curry cause he is just brilliant :)

I think the funniest scene is when the 2 are in the skating park and joe pesci for no apparent reason starts hitting the pigeons with the newspaper

My favorite moments are Harry's reactions to the booby traps: "Shoot! Fracha fraca fraca!"

In the first movie, Kevin is 8 years old. In the second movie, he's 10 years old. But, everything mentioned in the second movie that refers to something from the first movie says it happened last year. That's a movie mistake. How could Kevin be 8 years old, and then 10 years old the next year? Thumbs up if you noticed that.

Those burglars must be super human Most of the stuff that hurt them should've knocked them out completely. Especially Marv

Honorable Mention: Mom yelling in the airport.

The screaming skeleton had me crying from laughter the first time I saw it.

Still great, even after 25 years.

The shower scene in HA2 makes me laugh every time.

Best Christmas movie ever!

Marv: Kids are stupid Kevin draws a battle plan to end them

Home Alone Ratings: Home Alone 1 - Classic. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York - Great Sequel. Home Alone 3 - Ok. Home Alone 4 - Bad Reboot! Home Alone 5 - *Stop it!*

the best christmas film EVER

Home Alone 1 and 2 will always be the best

My favorite scene is Skeleton Marv in Home Alone 2 lmao. Still cracks me up.

12:36 What's more amazing is that (as far as we know) no one other than Kevin, Harry, and Marv (and technically Mr Duncan since he had his window broken when Kevin tried to get the bandits away from his hospital donations) knows about it.

Hey, watchmojo.com ....I honestly thought that the "Church Advice" scene, along with the old man reconciling with his family at the end, was going to get the top spot. It's all about love and the family. Plus, the reconciliation scene gets me crying in heartwarming love every time; it's what we all want during the holidays....being at home with the family. Now while I admit that it IS the booby traps that make the movies (they're hilarious in all ways), I just think that the true heart of it all is family, no matter how annoying they get sometimes. Just me talking...... One last thing.....where did the New York Philharmonic scene in "Lost In New York" rank in your minds? It's adds a nice layer of class to the movie....plus, where else can you find a better classical rendition of the carol? Yes, I know the scene was really brief (too brief, honestly), but it had to bring a fresh air of class to the great sequel. What are your thoughts on that?

My favorite part is "Harry, I've reached the top!" and then "Wow, what a hole!"

My rankings: Home alone: Loved it Home alone 2: Loved it Home alone 3: Didn't like it Home alone 4: Hated it Home alone 5: WTF IS GOING ON???

All the Booby Traps in Home Alone 1 and 2

This is one of my Christmas movie! All time favorite :)

Watchmojo: "What;s your favorite Home Alone moment?" Me: "Uhh, ALL OF THEM! DUH!"

"That was the sound of a tool chest, falling down the stairs." "What kind of idiots do you have working here?!" "The finest in New York!" And Marv getting electrocuted in the 2nd one.

the best moment was when he turned a crack head

The booby-traps will *always* be my favorite part in the Home Alone movies! ; )

The moment they included Home Alone 3..I felt molested.

“Shoot her! Shoot her! Shoot her!” *“I’M TRYING TO SHOOT HER!!!!!!!”* 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Every fucking Christmas..

13:04 I forgot how much i love Marv's initial scream when Kevin first lights the rope.

When Kevin shouts: that was one of the most terrifying and ( at the same time) hilarious moment of my childhood 😂

Home Alone: one part Ferris Bueller and one part Saw

fun fact: Tim Curry wasn't supposed to hit that table, he played it through good though

Marv's screaming like a girl has me dying every time I watch these movies😂🤣

At 10:14, fun fact that not only the cutout of Michael Jordan is in Home Alone, Jordan himself also appeared in a McDonald's commercial in 1990 where Daiana Campeanu (who played Sondra in Home Alone) was there too. What a coincidence.

I remember I used to be so scared of the scene where Marv was electrocuted when I was younger haha

Time for a Top 10 Home Alone boobytraps??

...how many movies does this franchise have again? After 2 I stopped caring.

Home Alone will always be my favorite Christmas movie of all time. The sequel is fun not nothing compares to the original classic. BTW, I saw this movie when I was 8 in that year. I love it.

for me the best moment is when the mom realized that she left kevin in the airport and screams "KEVIN! " and then falls. lol who agrees?

Thank god they were only from 1&2

At 1:36, in the movie, I was more interested about the Toyota ad than the Playboy thing lol

The director who made this film made a great contribution to our childhood

Ah yes, Macaulay Culkin. The God of childhood actors.

My favorite part in home alone is when he tricked the pizza delivery guy with a gun firing.

"Wow! What a hole!" and "Hey! You guys give up? Have you had enough pain?" "NEVER!" I love Marv's superhero pose when he yells that!

3:48-4:03 reminds me Alfred Hitchcock. Especially Marv’s scream.😂

The one where he gets electricity 😂😂

I L❤️VE Home Alone!!

Amazing how Kevin can make the VCR stop exactly where he wanted it to w/o having to over or undershoot the exact scene. To do so would give away the ruse.

I was just watching both Home Alone 1 and 2 today. Best ones of the entire saga.

this movie... goddamn. as someone who went through a home invasion when i was a child at home... its pretty scary.

Home Alone 6: Kevin must make a "touch" choice. Marv and Harry escape from prison (again) and capture Buzz and Uncle Frank. Harry holds a gun to their heads and makes Kevin choose which one lives and which one dies. It would have 3 different endings: 1. Harry shoots Buzz. 2. Harry shoots Uncle Frank. 3. Harry kills them both.

The Brick Scene will forever be my favorite i died of laughter watching it

my personal favorite trap was the bricks from the second one, just marv's reaction, even afterwards, gets me every damn time.

In my opinion 1,2,3 are the best 4 is okay 5 is not the best

Very interesting. And yes, I agree,the booby trap scenes from both the first and second Home Alones sure deserved to get rated #1. And here's an interesting trivial fact: the paperback book based on original Home Alone was adapted slighly-Kevin creates his fake Xmas party by using two of his mother's mannequins,decorating one with his mom's clothes,the other with his dad's clothes,and also uses his brother Jeff's "laugh box",while he plays piano LOUSILY,no less(he ties the two mannequins to his ankles,just as he does with some of them in the movie), and another minor adaption made for the book-on Xmas Eve,just as he's about to start eating his microwave dinner of macaroni and cheese,he's suddenly stopped by the sound of a church bell striking 9 pm,and not the grandfather clock. And still another small change in the book-his first night at home alone,he (accidentally) scares Marv and Harry away,by turning on all the lights in the house(including the cellar light,where Harry and Marv are,after they commit breaking and entering; in the book,he does not know that there is a pair of burglars planning to rob his house),and they bug out of there,with Marv telling Harry,"I thought you said they were going away for Xmas!" whereas in the movie,as everyone knows,Kevin is dozing in the den when he is suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps,and quickly turns on the cellar door,porch light,as Harry and Marv try to jimmy it open. Just thought I'd point all that out-small adaptations are usually made for books based on movies,in certain scenes from the movie.

I really get why #1 was #1... but I thought it was gonna be all of the reunion scenes across the 2 movies. When his family comes back home in the first one and when his mom meets him by the Rockefeller tree in the 2nd one. Also, the old man getting together with his family- George in Seinfeld getting all teary over that makes it a classic scene in itself. But John Williams' music is what really makes it all work perfectly

My most favorite is when Marv gets electrocuted! Made me laugh for 5 minutes!

The entire franchise always made me laugh my head off.. Especially the booby traps; the robbers falling into each and every one of them over & over again made me burst out laughing like hell

I tip my hat off to you, WatchMojo.

To me, there's only 2 HA movies. 3,4 and 5 are a disgrace to the series.

home alone 1 and 2 are absolute classics. home alone 3 is brilliantly hilarious as well.

Home Alone always makes me laugh!

How about the traps from Home Alone 3? My favorite scene in which I call Double shock, Jernigan sees a web of yarn with a homemade sign saying 'Danger, Electrical Energy and dismisses it, at the same time Unger sat in a makeshift electric chair, a metal chair wired to a car battery, Jernigan tries to cut the yarn only to find it wired and he gets a shock of his life.

There was a third movie!?! Home Alone to me is the greatest holiday movie of all time.

loved watching this as a kid never had i actually nearly pissed myself out of laughter, when the bad guy ate getting mugged off by the kid was just everything.

Home Alone 2 is my favourite and one of my favourite films of all time

The traps are my favorite thing on Home Alone movies. Those dumb criminals never learn. I always laugh when Marv gets bricks thrown on his face 😆

Special thanks to our user Andrew A. Dennison for submitting the idea on our Interactive Suggestion Tool at www.WatchMojo.com/suggest

I'm glad the "aftershave scene" made this list. The one where Kevin puts on the stuff and screams loudly after doing so. Tend to do the thing with the aftershave myself now and then after doing some shaving just to get a laugh out of it. My mom and older sister get a laugh out of it too.

WatchMojo in Portuguese: kzfaq.info WatchMojo in Spanish: kzfaq.info WatchMojo in Dutch:kzfaq.info/love/ht3DEu9qWOSQWa1YzxADjA Many more to come!

I'm also bummed he didn't eat the mac and cheese

Home Alone 1&2 - amazing. Home Alone 3 - watchable. Home Alone 4 - bad, with like two good parts. Home Alone 5 - atrocious.

7:53 Reminds me of Pooh talking to his mirror reflection.

I love that this got posted while I was watching this movie...
