There was a post credits scene that was cut from the movie. I don't know if it was filmed, but the scene was Harry and Marv are in prison, watching TV with other inmates, and they're watching the movie "Angels With Filthy Souls". It gets to the scene where Johnny kills Snakes, and Harry and Marv look at each other and realize that it was a movie.
Kevin and Fuller are brothers in real life. Also, John Candy was payed less than the pizza kid. If memory serves. Macauley Culkin says he still gets Christmas cards from Catherine O'Hara saying Love Mom.
As the baby of the family, I relate to the struggle in the beginning. The thing is, I can see both sides: He's being a brat and everyone is busy with their own stuff, but he's just a kid, who's probably never been on such a big trip before, so he doesn't know what to do. And everyone's either being mean, ignoring/overlooking him, or blaming him for simple mistakes. No one is listening to him, so he isn't listening back.
we never really had another child star (correct me if wrong) like Macauley Culkin, with what he did with Home Alone (1+2), until many many years later, with Dakato Fanning with Man On Fire and I Am Sam
That's hollywood, they have no concept of living a normal life, of struggling just to pay your rent, almost every movie that involves such a setting (a family, a home, a community/neighborhood), it's always the hollywood setting: massive mansions and estates, for the "working man's/family's home/neighborhood/community" character/family in the movie... maybe the best example is the 'elysium' movie, I'm like, yep, elysium, that's hollywood, and the slums are the rest of us...
It’s like die hard, as a kid I think nice Christmas action movie. Now I think what sort of illegal shit were Nakatomi really up to, that they had over half a billion dollars in completely untraceable bonds in their vault.
Part of it was the era it was filmed in. 1990 was right in the middle of one of the most prosperous economic times in US history, so more people could afford houses that size than a generation earlier or later.
I saw this and the second film in theaters when I was younger. The movie ended up taking the top box office spot for 12 weeks, opening in mid-November and not being displaced until early February the following year by the Julia Roberts thriller, Sleeping with the Enemy. It held the record for the most successful box office comedy for 18+ years and was a Thanksgiving staple airing every year on NBC for around a decade.
OHHH Classic, the remake has only made me appreciate the writing better. The set-up of Kevin being a little snot but his family being equally annoying and mean to him. The time we spend with Kevin just trying to leave on his own and learning not to judge people. THE PERFECT COMEDY OF ALL THE ATTACKS, all working to make Kevin not look like a sociopath but a charming clever kid
@@MrParkerman6The “remakes” are more like unconnected sequels, except for the third one where it’s supposed to be Kevin’s cousin. None of them come anywhere close to as good as the first two.
home alone 2 would be great! it’s my favourite christmas movie by far, and i know many people who say the same. excited to watch! love your guys’ content, as always.
Fun fact, the actor that interpreted the tall thief was actually frightened of spiders, so when they filmed the scene where the tarantula walks over him, the fear and scream was genuin. Loved this reaction btw :)
My favorite scene has to be when he's putting all the traps together in the house. It's so creative and the music is fantastic. And of course after that when the crooks walk into all the traps is hilarious.
I was named after Kevin. My sister (then four years old) was obsessed with Home Alone, she used to watch it all the time. My parents couldn't decide what to name me and my sister suggested Kevin. This and Home Alone 2 have special place in my heart :)
the scene at the end where the old man reunites with his family always makes me tear up. watching this movie as a kid and watching it again as an adult definitely hits different lol please watch Home Alone 2; it's definitely just as good, if not better, than the first one. I still watch it every year.
I can't believe you guys haven't seen this film fully but I had so much fun watching this with you. It is a classic for Christmas and I do try to watch every 2 years or so. It warms my heart every time and I still find it funny after all these years. The set design and the colours and also the storyline with the old man is great...it's such a well done movie in general. If you guys enjoyed this, I'd highly suggest 'Jingle all the way' with Arnold Schwarzenegger, it's HILARIOUS :)
Fun Fact: the scene where Kevin almost gets run over (15:28) was actually filmed in reverse with the car backing up. No children were potentially harmed in the making of that scene lol
honestly, you guys seem really chill which makes all of your reactions really comforting :) i can watch your videos multiple times and they still make me happy. thanks guys for putting in the effort! p.s if you guys are still looking for horror movies to watch, i would definitely recommend "orphan" its a psychlogical horror movie released in 2009.
There’s so many great christmas classics! The Santa Claus, The Polar Express, Disney’s A Christmas Carol, Elf, Home Alone 2, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, etc.
25:47 Another piece of trivia : Daniel Stern did accept to have the spider on his face, but only ONCE. They filmed it one shot, he only mimics the screaming to not scare the beast, then screams have been dubbed in post prod.
Another holiday movie that you probably have seen since it's played all the time is A Christmas Story. It was my dad's favorite because it reminded him of growing up at the time after WW2 and wanting a Red Ryder BB gun. The Broadway musical of it is incredible too. Holiday Inn, It Happened On Fifth Avenue and It's a Wonderful Life are must sees every year.
the first time I saw this was at the theater... and I have a serious arachnophobia. when Kevin put the tarantula on that one robber's face, I about had a heart attack!
Loved this reaction, Home Alone is a must every Christmas for my family! If you haven’t seen it I’d recommend Love Actually (2003) it’s like 8 Christmas stories in one!
My older sister noticed I have this film on my shelf (we're both grown adults, lol), and she was like, "Home Alone? Really?" and I said, "You don't get it! It's a really sweet Christmas movie." 😂 I mean, yes, the antics are crazy, you'd think a robber would give up at a certain point, but overall the movie is sweet and Kevin is hilarious. And it's definitely Christmasy. Kevin lip syncing to White Christmas (adorable), Kevin getting to know his elderly neighbor, and the repeated "Keep the change, ya filthy animal" are my favorite parts.
Oh man, the lack of recognition you guys had when John Candy showed up broke my heart a little bit. You guys must be super young if you don't know who he is. RIP Candy. And it's insane to me you guys went this long without ever seeing this classic movie. Get out from under your rocks! xD
I love this film and Home Alone 2, I always watch both during Christmas! Other Christmas films I highly recommend: Home Alone & Home Alone 2 A Christmas Story The Nightmare Before Christmas Jingle All the Way A Christmas Carol The Little Princess ( either the 3ps or 80s version) Life Is Wonderful Die Hard Lethal Weapon films All Mine to Give Batman Returns The Santa Claus Edward Scissorhands While You were Sleeping Gremlins The Shop Around the Corner or the updated version You've Got Mail The Adams Family & The Adams Family Values Little Women (90s vers)
I absolutely adore this film. I can watch it in June and still cramp up and cry from laughing so hard - and so can my Dad. I’m now a teacher and will be showing this to my kids tomorrow while they do Christmas crafts - I feel it’s my responsibility as an educator to introduce them to this classic!
Very good movie choice. I am so glad you loved it It's one of those xmas movies you can rewatch every year. I am excited for you to watch Die Hard (non-Christmas Christmas movie). yippee ki yay🤣🤣 Season 1 of The movies that made us (netflix) showcases the behind the scenes for Home Alone and Die Hard. It's awesome.
Die Hard is my favorite "Christmas" movie. But it doesn't have the particular spirit and message of proper Christmas movies. This is my otherwise favorite. (For one without the violence, The Polar Express gets to me; and It's A Wonderful Life is just an all-time tearjerker.)
The spider in that scene was real, but they never told the actor. Actor thought he was going to use a plastic one. So that scream was real lol The poison parts of the spider was removed tho, so he wasn’t actually in danger
@@Rmlohner if he didn’t scream, then I get it. I don’t remember if he actually screamed or not. But the whole spider thing being a real spider was true. He truly was scared shitless by it being a real spider and them not warning him in advance
1. John Candy did his part at union rate/FREE for his friend John Hughes RIP to both of them. 2. The the items in Kevin's bags were all empty and not the same as what he had a checkout. 3. Daniel Stern/Harv is afraid of spiders. That's why he freaked out. (NOTE: tarantula spiders aren't poisoness to humans but look like they might be. 4. NO WAY could a child get the rope tight enough between the house and treehouse without a wench of some kind. 5. There's ANOTHER NO WAY Kevin could clean up that fast. 6. Macaulay Culkin worked with John Candy (and Hughes) in Uncle Buck. That's how he got this gig. Great first time/share. HINT HINT
love the conversation between Old Marley and Kevin in church. there's so much heart.... still my favourite movie. especially on christmas i prefer home alone & 10th Kingdom
The ONLY HA movies are those with Macaulay Culkin… and it’d be so cool if Macaulay did another one BUT with Catharine O’Hare playing his mother’s twin sister MOIRA ROSE from Schitts Creek. Boy would they take in the 💰 blending these universes… 👍
When I was a kid I felt a bit sad for Kevin. I have a large family myself since my mom was 1 out of 14 kids XD So I have a lot of Aunt's, Uncles and Cousins, plus most of us are girls with only a handful of boys. The Holidays were exactly like the beginning of the movie, crowded and a bit overwhelming at times. Of course, we picked on each other, but weren't downright mean.
Why are the Wet Bandits so obsessed with That House in particular when there are so many other houses exactly like it at either end of the lane? If anything the fact that they keep trying to get back to it would make them all the more noticeable and suspicious.
I think John Williams score is excellent in this movie and it really brings the feels in at the end. And it super fun at other times like when Kevin is setting all the traps in the house.
Fun little detail the traps and stunts that the robbers are subjected are actually performed by the actors. That first slip on the ice actually made people go check on them because it hurt to look. But the actors were really wholesome and said they’re fine.
This is the highest grossing domestic box office comedy of all time, and that's not even accounting for any inflation that's occurred since 1990 when the movie was released. Home Alone 2 is also widely considered a classic. Anything after that I've never seen...
I literally said TODAY that I wish you’d do either Home Alone, The Santa Clause or How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) because those are my favorite Christmas movies. I’m so excited to watch this now when I get home, yay thank youuu
This is a staple in my house every December as well as the second one. (I usually watch them back to back) But another couple Christmas classics are... -Planes, Trains and Automobiles -National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation -Elf -A Christmas Story -A Christmas Carol (John C Scott and Jim Carrey's newer animated version -Jingle All The Way -Charlie Brown Christmas -It's A Wonderful Life -Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer -Frosty The Snowman -How The Grinch Stole Christmas -The Grinch (Jim Carrey) -Santa Clause (Tim Allen) -Klaus -Jack Frost (Michael Keaton) -Die Hard -Christmas With The Kranks -Just Friends
@@whitenoisereacts thanks for the response! Well it's alot of movies to get through, but just figured I'd help you guys out with some ideas! I love your reactions. Keep up the awesome work!
Did anyone notice how the wound on the snow shovel man's handheld as he healed his relationship with his son thought that was a little sweet nugget in the movie as well symbolism
I really love watching this movie a lot. And I use to watch this movie a lot on Home Video faithfully. And I would watch this movie over and over again. This is how much I really loved this movie. And the best thing is when I really enjoy watching this movie with you guys and it is a lot of fun watching this movie with you guys man. And when you guys react to this movie while you guys are watching this movie is like I am watching it with you.
The old guy was an actor by the name of Roberts Blossom. He passed away in 2011. He was very well known in the 70's for acting in low budget horror movies. Low budget or not, he could be down right creepy. My favorite of his horror movies is one from 1974 called "Derranged". That movie is the Ed Gein story, only the character names are different.
Christmas adventures of Clint Eastwood when he was a little kid. That poor pizza guy probably quit. He kills everybody on the block. With a snow shovel. Right.
Fun fact: there’s a theory that Kevin grows up to be John Kramer aka the Jigsaw killer from the Saw franchise due to his penchant for constructing elaborate, potential lethal traps #themoreyouknow 😊
The first 2 home alone movies r the only ones that matter and have been favorites of mine since I was a child. I watched them with my youngest (she's 5) a few wks ago and she loved them. Such great timeless movies
I highly recommend you guys watch “Eloise at Christmastime” it is set at the Plaza hotel, which is also the same location for “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York”. I wonder if in the cinematic universe Kevin and Eloise ever band together to wreak havoc on the hotel lol (Eloise is suppose to be 6 and Kevin in that movie I believe is 10) but them banding together would have been freakin amazing! IMHO… anyways yeah Home Alone 2 and Eloise at Christmastime for sure. Keep up the great content guys
A huge part of the charm of this movie is the music. In the Netflix documentary they are working on this low budget film in a Chicago and had a rough edit with temporary music which I guess was terrible. John Hughes said "wouldn't be great if we could get John Williams to do the music?" John Williams... the biggest movie composer of all time. On a lark they sent him a copy of the movie. A couple days later Williams' assistant called and said "Mr. Williams loves the movie! He said he has always wanted to do a Christmas movie. He's in the other room working on it."
This is such a special childhood movie for me. To this day, I watch it every Christmas and I get hit with sooooooo much nostalgia. Also, if you want a classic Christmas movie suggestion for your viewing, I might suggest 'The Bishop's Wife' starring Cary Grant, which is currently available for free on RUclips. A very charming old film.
The polka guy is one of the funniest comedians of the eighties (R.I.P.) John Candy. I always watch something with him at Xmas. "Planes, Trains And Automobiles" with him and Steve Martin is the wholesomest funniest classic.
There was a post credits scene that was cut from the movie. I don't know if it was filmed, but the scene was Harry and Marv are in prison, watching TV with other inmates, and they're watching the movie "Angels With Filthy Souls". It gets to the scene where Johnny kills Snakes, and Harry and Marv look at each other and realize that it was a movie.
Oh...that's funny!
WHAT?! WHY AM I LEARNING ABOUT THIS NOW AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
Why do they cut so many good scenes from movies??
I would love to seen those scenes, also there is no movie "Angels With Filthy Souls" those scenes were filmed for Home Alone.
I honestly saw the title on the tape, and thought Kevin was in for a completely different movie experience...
"He's not calling them from a treehouse!" Life before cell phones, ladies and gentlemen.
How i miss those times... so much
We remember mate...it wasn't that long ago!
The good old days before you needed a 'No mobile phone coverage' shot
That's not the quote. "He's not calling the... FROM A TREEHOUSE?" is the quote.
Kevin and Fuller are brothers in real life. Also, John Candy was payed less than the pizza kid.
If memory serves. Macauley Culkin says he still gets Christmas cards from Catherine O'Hara saying Love Mom.
nice info
Aw that about the Christmas card is really sweet :3
@mrbeckles1980
John Candy was payed $10,000,000 to be in National Lampoon's Vacation, so I think he was good!
Joe Pesci cursing while trying not to curse in a PG Movie is the best 😂
LMAO! Yes!!
@@whitenoisereacts i didn't see a KIA SOUL CAR IN THE GARAGE IN THE FILM.
They actually had "curse jar" on the set for him. But he was mumbling because he was not allowed to curse in movie.
I heard an interview where he said he used Yosemite Sam as his inspiration
As the baby of the family, I relate to the struggle in the beginning. The thing is, I can see both sides: He's being a brat and everyone is busy with their own stuff, but he's just a kid, who's probably never been on such a big trip before, so he doesn't know what to do. And everyone's either being mean, ignoring/overlooking him, or blaming him for simple mistakes. No one is listening to him, so he isn't listening back.
Macauley Culkin absolutely sells this movie. I can't think of any other child actor being able to pull this off so well.
we never really had another child star (correct me if wrong) like Macauley Culkin, with what he did with Home Alone (1+2), until many many years later, with Dakato Fanning with Man On Fire and I Am Sam
Drew Barry more and Danny Pintauro would have shit all over him when they were his age.
@@redmoonbloodmoon3161 ypu must have missed every movie with Haley Joel Osment. He was the best child actor of his time. Maybe any time.
absolutely great film! cant wait for yall to see the sequel EVEN BETTER
Heck yeah!!!!
Agreed, Home Alone 2 is fantastic! Highly Recommend. BTWs, there are no more Home Alone movies after 2 though. Forget they exist.
Two and three are both good (three was the first Home Alone I ever watched). The rest were meh in my opinion
My family considers 3 the best one, but we love 1 and 2 as well. Merry Christmas to everyone reading this comment!
Oh hi Timothee didn't expect to see you here I just watched your reaction to this movie.
As a kid it’s all about Kevin being at home, as an adult I just think, how the hell do they have a house that big!
That's hollywood, they have no concept of living a normal life, of struggling just to pay your rent, almost every movie that involves such a setting (a family, a home, a community/neighborhood), it's always the hollywood setting: massive mansions and estates, for the "working man's/family's home/neighborhood/community" character/family in the movie...
maybe the best example is the 'elysium' movie, I'm like, yep, elysium, that's hollywood, and the slums are the rest of us...
It’s like die hard, as a kid I think nice Christmas action movie. Now I think what sort of illegal shit were Nakatomi really up to, that they had over half a billion dollars in completely untraceable bonds in their vault.
Part of it was the era it was filmed in. 1990 was right in the middle of one of the most prosperous economic times in US history, so more people could afford houses that size than a generation earlier or later.
That’s still a rich person house. I don’t know what 90s houses you’ve been looking at.
College education (that’s a bit debatable), good job, know how to handle money
I saw this and the second film in theaters when I was younger. The movie ended up taking the top box office spot for 12 weeks, opening in mid-November and not being displaced until early February the following year by the Julia Roberts thriller, Sleeping with the Enemy. It held the record for the most successful box office comedy for 18+ years and was a Thanksgiving staple airing every year on NBC for around a decade.
The pizza delivery guy doesn't get enough credit, what a performance.
I agree poor guy only appeared twice in this movie & never came back in the sequel 17:35
The guy of the movie should be considered a main
He's like the most important guy after Kevin, Harry and Marv😂
Agreed, poor guy
@@leonardolonghi3472 Keep the change ya filthy animal 😂😂😂
He's really cute, also he's 50 years old today!! O_O
OHHH Classic, the remake has only made me appreciate the writing better. The set-up of Kevin being a little snot but his family being equally annoying and mean to him. The time we spend with Kevin just trying to leave on his own and learning not to judge people.

There is no remake.
@@MrParkerman6 There a lot of remakes
@@MrParkerman6The “remakes” are more like unconnected sequels, except for the third one where it’s supposed to be Kevin’s cousin. None of them come anywhere close to as good as the first two.
home alone 2 would be great! it’s my favourite christmas movie by far, and i know many people who say the same. excited to watch! love your guys’ content, as always.
Me too.
Idk. A Christmas Story is pretty amazing
same. elf and home alone 2 are easily my favorite christmas movies! i always watch it every christmas day
I would love to see a reaction to the second movie. I prefer the second one to this one
Home Alone 2 has a special place in my heart. Its the first movie I saw by myself and I snuck in to see it in movies.
Fun fact, the actor that interpreted the tall thief was actually frightened of spiders, so when they filmed the scene where the tarantula walks over him, the fear and scream was genuin. Loved this reaction btw :)
I mean, he screams so loudly, you hear a bit of mic peaking, so you know it was a real scream.
Lots of people claim the sceam was added in post but according to Daniel Stern he did scream right there.
Interesting fact: the first Home Alone movie was released in that same year as Arachnophobia with Jeff Daniels
The way Daniel Stern plays Marv is just so good because unlike Harry, Marv thinks like a kid. It just comes off so hilarious.
Holidays without Home Alone 1 and 2 is the same as how Kevin feels about Christmas without a Christmas tree.
Lmao!! True!
I include Die Hard 1&2 in that tradition.
My favorite scene has to be when he's putting all the traps together in the house. It's so creative and the music is fantastic. And of course after that when the crooks walk into all the traps is hilarious.
Totally!!
Me too.
No wonder the music is so good. John Williams wrote it. He's one of those film composers who seldom fails to bring the heat.
I was named after Kevin. My sister (then four years old) was obsessed with Home Alone, she used to watch it all the time. My parents couldn't decide what to name me and my sister suggested Kevin. This and Home Alone 2 have special place in my heart :)

I still watch it every year.
yal should definitely do the second one, i personally like it more then the first
The director, Chris Columbus, directed the first two Harry Potters! It has the same magical spirit
I loved this reaction more than I expected. This movie is literally cartoon slapsticks brought into the real world 🤣
I can't believe you guys haven't seen this film fully but I had so much fun watching this with you. It is a classic for Christmas and I do try to watch every 2 years or so. It warms my heart every time and I still find it funny after all these years. The set design and the colours and also the storyline with the old man is great...it's such a well done movie in general.

Part 2 is the best though I hope they watch that one soon :D
they've seen it. they are bullshitting everyone here
Fake

honestly, you guys seem really chill which makes all of your reactions really comforting :) i can watch your videos multiple times and they still make me happy.

Ok, cool!! I 'll look at that one
YESSS ORPHAN IS SO FKING INCREDIBLE
Great movie
There’s so many great christmas classics! The Santa Claus, The Polar Express, Disney’s A Christmas Carol, Elf, Home Alone 2, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, etc.
Kevin Macallister invented ADULTING 😂
25:47 Another piece of trivia : Daniel Stern did accept to have the spider on his face, but only ONCE. They filmed it one shot, he only mimics the screaming to not scare the beast, then screams have been dubbed in post prod.

It was my dad's favorite because it reminded him of growing up at the time after WW2 and wanting a Red Ryder BB gun. The Broadway musical of it is incredible too. Holiday Inn, It Happened On Fifth Avenue and It's a Wonderful Life are must sees every year.
You two HAVE to watch A Christmas Story, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. They're both great Christmas flicks!
Timeless classic - so is the Christmas Carol, with one of my favorite adaptions being the Muppets one.
I still think "Jimmy, stop that boy!" is one of the goofiest lines in a popular movie.
the first time I saw this was at the theater... and I have a serious arachnophobia. when Kevin put the tarantula on that one robber's face, I about had a heart attack!
Loved this reaction, Home Alone is a must every Christmas for my family! If you haven’t seen it I’d recommend Love Actually (2003) it’s like 8 Christmas stories in one!
THIS! just for the amount of actors you recognize, all clearly having fun but also a movie with so many story lines that actually blend well.
My older sister noticed I have this film on my shelf (we're both grown adults, lol), and she was like, "Home Alone? Really?" and I said, "You don't get it! It's a really sweet Christmas movie." 😂 I mean, yes, the antics are crazy, you'd think a robber would give up at a certain point, but overall the movie is sweet and Kevin is hilarious.

Home Alone 2 is a must do
It's A Wonderful Life and Scrooge (1951) are must watches in my house.
Hey guys. Might I recommend The Muppets Christmas Carol. That movie is a must watch in my household every year, at least three times.
Oh man, the lack of recognition you guys had when John Candy showed up broke my heart a little bit. You guys must be super young if you don't know who he is. RIP Candy. And it's insane to me you guys went this long without ever seeing this classic movie. Get out from under your rocks! xD
Great movie, great reaction, and Kevin's a serial killer in training.
Jigsaw conspiracy theory...yep.
You guys should definitely watch home alone 2. It's even better in my opinion!
This movie will forever be a classic,
I love this film and Home Alone 2, I always watch both during Christmas! Other Christmas films I highly recommend:
Home Alone & Home Alone 2
A Christmas Story
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Jingle All the Way
A Christmas Carol
The Little Princess ( either the 3ps or 80s version)
Life Is Wonderful
Die Hard
Lethal Weapon films
All Mine to Give
Batman Returns
The Santa Claus
Edward Scissorhands
While You were Sleeping
Gremlins
The Shop Around the Corner or the updated version You've Got Mail
The Adams Family & The Adams Family Values
Little Women (90s vers)

Home Alone is my go to Christmas movie to watch on Christmas Eve.
Me too.
There is a theory that Kevin becomes Jigsaw from the Saw franchise,
Very good movie choice. I am so glad you loved it
It's one of those xmas movies you can rewatch every year.
I am excited for you to watch Die Hard (non-Christmas Christmas movie). yippee ki yay🤣🤣
Season 1 of The movies that made us (netflix) showcases the behind the scenes for Home Alone and Die Hard. It's awesome.
It's on Patreon
Die Hard is my favorite "Christmas" movie. But it doesn't have the particular spirit and message of proper Christmas movies. This is my otherwise favorite. (For one without the violence, The Polar Express gets to me; and It's A Wonderful Life is just an all-time tearjerker.)
Well idk...we watched it and weirdly enough, behind all the action and explosions, I think it kinda does
@@whitenoisereacts - It's beautifully tucked in there, which is why it's still my favorite Christmas movie, but I understand the argument against it.
In my opinion, Polar Express just plain sucks!! Yecch!
Aww I didn’t hate it!
Rocky is the one and only Xmas movie, along with Home Alone, of course. :)
The spider in that scene was real, but they never told the actor. Actor thought he was going to use a plastic one.
So that scream was real lol
The poison parts of the spider was removed tho, so he wasn’t actually in danger
Still woulda freaked out lol
Not true. He actually wasn't screaming at all because it would freak the spider out and make it bite, and the sound was dubbed in.
Was a real spider 🕷 but he had to silent scream because it'll up set the spider..but yeah still eould freak aha
@@Rmlohner if he didn’t scream, then I get it. I don’t remember if he actually screamed or not. But the whole spider thing being a real spider was true. He truly was scared shitless by it being a real spider and them not warning him in advance
1. John Candy did his part at union rate/FREE for his friend John Hughes
RIP to both of them.
2. The the items in Kevin's bags were all empty and not the same as what he had a checkout.
3. Daniel Stern/Harv is afraid of spiders. That's why he freaked out. (NOTE: tarantula spiders aren't poisoness to
humans but look like they might be.
4. NO WAY could a child get the rope tight enough between the house and treehouse without a wench of some kind.
5. There's ANOTHER NO WAY Kevin could clean up that fast.
6. Macaulay Culkin worked with John Candy (and Hughes) in Uncle Buck.
That's how he got this gig. Great first time/share. HINT HINT
love the conversation between Old Marley and Kevin in church. there's so much heart....
still my favourite movie.
especially on christmas i prefer home alone & 10th Kingdom
The ONLY HA movies are those with Macaulay Culkin… and it’d be so cool if Macaulay did another one BUT with Catharine O’Hare playing his mother’s twin sister MOIRA ROSE from Schitts Creek. Boy would they take in the 💰 blending these universes… 👍
Home Alone has been my favourite Christmas movie for years, glad y’all are finally watching it
Home alone two is the best of the films. It’s absolutely hilarious.
If you guys haven’t watched it yet, I recommend Uncle Buck.
Another John Hughes film.
When it comes to Home Alone, It’s the film that started it all.
It took me forever to notice it, but the McCallisters' house is completely Christmas themed. The walls are all painted/wallpapered in red and green.
When I was a kid I felt a bit sad for Kevin. I have a large family myself since my mom was 1 out of 14 kids XD So I have a lot of Aunt's, Uncles and Cousins, plus most of us are girls with only a handful of boys. The Holidays were exactly like the beginning of the movie, crowded and a bit overwhelming at times. Of course, we picked on each other, but weren't downright mean.
Why are the Wet Bandits so obsessed with That House in particular when there are so many other houses exactly like it at either end of the lane? If anything the fact that they keep trying to get back to it would make them all the more noticeable and suspicious.
This is such a classic in my household, next to Christmas Vacation
I think John Williams score is excellent in this movie and it really brings the feels in at the end. And it super fun at other times like when Kevin is setting all the traps in the house.
I love the indoor stair luge! I used to do it on the steeper stairs at my Gramma's house.
You should watch _A Christmas Story!_ It's funny and kind of Wonder Years-ish.
I will!! Been putting it on the polls!!
@@whitenoisereacts Awesome!
Fun little detail the traps and stunts that the robbers are subjected are actually performed by the actors. That first slip on the ice actually made people go check on them because it hurt to look. But the actors were really wholesome and said they’re fine.
As an Italian I can tell you that the movements of your hands James are really something ... You could easily pass for one of us 😂
My dad grew up in New York, us Irish and Italians were real tight, so I'm sure that's where i get it
You could do Batman Returns, which is kind of a Christmas movie but also a Batman movie so there's balance lol
this is one of my favorite christmas movies!!! can't wait to see your guys reaction to the second one :)
This is the highest grossing domestic box office comedy of all time, and that's not even accounting for any inflation that's occurred since 1990 when the movie was released. Home Alone 2 is also widely considered a classic. Anything after that I've never seen...
Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story are also great movies to watch!
Jingle all the Way is great if you want to see Arnold in a more feel-good comedy.
I literally said TODAY that I wish you’d do either Home Alone, The Santa Clause or How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) because those are my favorite Christmas movies. I’m so excited to watch this now when I get home, yay thank youuu
This is a staple in my house every December as well as the second one. (I usually watch them back to back)
But another couple Christmas classics are...
-Planes, Trains and Automobiles
-National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
-Elf
-A Christmas Story
-A Christmas Carol (John C Scott and Jim Carrey's newer animated version
-Jingle All The Way
-Charlie Brown Christmas
-It's A Wonderful Life
-Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
-Frosty The Snowman
-How The Grinch Stole Christmas
-The Grinch (Jim Carrey)
-Santa Clause (Tim Allen)
-Klaus
-Jack Frost (Michael Keaton)
-Die Hard
-Christmas With The Kranks
-Just Friends
Die hard is Patreon right now!!! But I'm gonna try and do all these
@@whitenoisereacts thanks for the response! Well it's alot of movies to get through, but just figured I'd help you guys out with some ideas! I love your reactions. Keep up the awesome work!
Did anyone notice how the wound on the snow shovel man's handheld as he healed his relationship with his son thought that was a little sweet nugget in the movie as well symbolism
I really love watching this movie a lot. And I use to watch this movie a lot on Home Video faithfully. And I would watch this movie over and over again. This is how much I really loved this movie. And the best thing is when I really enjoy watching this movie with you guys and it is a lot of fun watching this movie with you guys man. And when you guys react to this movie while you guys are watching this movie is like I am watching it with you.
18:20 every parent should teach their kids these basic necessities. just in case of a real home alone situation or just to help and parent.
Minor thing but I love how the truck that nearly hits Kevin litterally tells him to get out of the way...
DODGE!
0:30 Oh PLEASE do one of the "A Christmas Carol" adaptations!
I mean A Christmas Story and the Muppet Christmas Carol are perfection
The old guy was an actor by the name of Roberts Blossom. He passed away in 2011. He was very well known in the 70's for acting in low budget horror movies. Low budget or not, he could be down right creepy. My favorite of his horror movies is one from 1974 called "Derranged". That movie is the Ed Gein story, only the character names are different.
Watching this classic since I was a child.
I was 2 when this movie was made. I laughed when the elderly man knocked out the bad guys with his shovel.
They would have to replace the stairs to the basement. There is no way to get the tar off. LOL!!
Christmas adventures of Clint Eastwood when he was a little kid.
That poor pizza guy probably quit.
He kills everybody on the block. With a snow shovel. Right.
I would like to see National Lampoon Christmas Vacation I have always laughed at that movie.
The little boy with glasses was Kevin's real life little brother.
Fun fact: there’s a theory that Kevin grows up to be John Kramer aka the Jigsaw killer from the Saw franchise due to his penchant for constructing elaborate, potential lethal traps #themoreyouknow 😊
The first 2 home alone movies r the only ones that matter and have been favorites of mine since I was a child. I watched them with my youngest (she's 5) a few wks ago and she loved them. Such great timeless movies
you guys should totally watch what we do in the shadows! the movie and the show! seems like something you’d enjoy
This film always makes me want pizza 😂
I highly recommend you guys watch “Eloise at Christmastime” it is set at the Plaza hotel, which is also the same location for “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York”. I wonder if in the cinematic universe Kevin and Eloise ever band together to wreak havoc on the hotel lol (Eloise is suppose to be 6 and Kevin in that movie I believe is 10) but them banding together would have been freakin amazing! IMHO… anyways yeah Home Alone 2 and Eloise at Christmastime for sure. Keep up the great content guys
When Marv steps on the nail, I bust out laughing, especially when he screamed
A huge part of the charm of this movie is the music.
In the Netflix documentary they are working on this low budget film in a Chicago and had a rough edit with temporary music which I guess was terrible. John Hughes said "wouldn't be great if we could get John Williams to do the music?"
John Williams... the biggest movie composer of all time.
On a lark they sent him a copy of the movie. A couple days later Williams' assistant called and said "Mr. Williams loves the movie! He said he has always wanted to do a Christmas movie. He's in the other room working on it."
This is such a special childhood movie for me. To this day, I watch it every Christmas and I get hit with sooooooo much nostalgia.
Also, if you want a classic Christmas movie suggestion for your viewing, I might suggest 'The Bishop's Wife' starring Cary Grant, which is currently available for free on RUclips. A very charming old film.
The polka guy is one of the funniest comedians of the eighties (R.I.P.) John Candy. I always watch something with him at Xmas. "Planes, Trains And Automobiles" with him and Steve Martin is the wholesomest funniest classic.
Another great Christmas is The Elf and home alone 2 is really good too. Definitely watch both of these movies. Guaranteed great movies. 👍 😃
Best ever is Its a Wonderful life, Scrooged, Christmas Vacation, and A Christmas Story
Y'all have to do The Polar Express as well, that film is my fave Christmas film; it's amazing! Loved this reaction! ❤ 🎄🎁
I want to know what the dad did for a living. To be able to live in that huge house, and take the whole family to France for a holiday first class 🤣🤣
Holy cow, I went back to watch this video again, and what do ya know! I’m watching it exactly a year after you guys posted it! 🤣
