HOME ALONE. The movies are Christmas classics. 

It all kicks off when eight-year-old Kevin is accidentally left behind when his family leaves for France for the holidays.

In the second movie, Kevin accidentally boards a flight to New York, yet again being separated from his family.

It’s all very dramatic and unrealistic, really, but the films make for excellent festive viewings, nonetheless. 

Let’s see how much you know about the movies…

    @Paddy Cullen AIWS: yes… I vaguely remember something like that. He was an accountant for the Mafia. And in home alone 2, Kevin’s uncle owns a 5 story townhouse in Manhattan. They go for about 20 million.

    I hate home alone. Macaulay culkin is the most annoying child actor ever.
