Home Alone
“Home Alone” exists because Macauley Culkin (I’m not going to bother checking my spelling on that) was so cute in “Uncle Buck” that someone thought the 8-year-old actor deserved his own movie. And you know what? Whoever thought that was a goddamned genius. “Home Alone” is a stone-cold classic, and it turned Mackaulay into the ‘90s’ biggest child star, if not its biggest star, period. Man, “Home Alone” is so funny. I like the part when he says, “Keep the change, ya filthy animal.” Or when he asks the lady at the store if the toothbrush is approved by the American Dental Association, that was hilarious. Or the part when he brutally tortures and maims a couple of hapless burglars almost to death. Tee hee.
