This dvd has alot of deleted scene's that made me feel like watching the first time all over again. There are awhole alot of features that were worth every penny, shipping and handling and waiting that was all worth it. Now I'm gonna go watch this film again.

I still remember when I saw this movie as well as the second one and to me these will always be Macaulay Culkin's two greatest movies. I think what also made the two home alone movies great were the bumbling burglars played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern it's sad that Hollywood had to make a third and fourth Home Alone with such disaster. I think we're also waiting for the first two movies two come out on blu-ray I know that I'll be getting those for my new blu-ray collection. I know it sounds a little mean but I also like watching these movies before Macaulay Culkin's sad decline from the movies and what he's done with his life. That out of the way if you're looking for a good family funny Christmas movie get these movies in your collection because while you might like to get it on blu-ray sadly there isn't a release date yet so for the price I
say again get the first two movies and leave the third and fourth movie
on the store shelves...

It's funny how certain films bring back fond memories of a certain time and place in one's life. I can remember back when this film came out in the early nineties and I was a kid at my Grandmother's house in Matteson, Ill (which ironically enough is a suburb of Chicago) for Christmas and sometimes Thanksgiving, always watching this film year after year for the holidays. It was like a tradition of sorts. This movie never failed to make my cousins and I laugh and I enjoyed the film enough to where I actually took my own sled and attempted to sled down the top of my staircase at home and out the front door during the wintertime...it didn't work out quite as well as the movie. I won't go over the synopsis of the film, I think it's been explained enough times. I would recommend Home Alone to any family or anyone looking for a film to watch around the holidays.

Home Alone not only made Macaulay Culkin a star, this movie is actually really good. There are plently of laughs even after 18 years later, this funny, hijinx comedy was a childhood favorite of mine, including the sequel. Wish it was Christmas time now, I highly recommend this John Hughes/Chris Columbus gem, enjoy!

We've all grown up with this, what can I say, it's a fun movie that takes me back. I love it even as an adult!

I have both Home alone 1 and 2.
Both are 2 channel stereo which made me sad.

These two movies are not that old and I don't know why they released into 2 channel Dolby.

Now finlally Home alone is released again with 5.1 channel.

I am buying it!

Hope some day I can have Blu-Ray.

All time family favorite movie.

this movies will always be a favorite not just in my home but I'm willing to bet most others.

It is a classic Christmas movie. I am glad it is now a part of my collection.

My VHS was replaced with DVD so it was time to upgrade my Home Alone video. It's been a favorite Christmas movie since it came out. Macaulay Culkin was so cute in this one...

Thanks for the speedy job on my order. The product was exactly what I ordered and it came in record time. Thanks for ALL your good work!

My husband and I loved this film. We enjoyed seeing how this boy was such a good actor. We laughed and laughed when he goes through his brothers things and the spider gets out.

This movie is a great family movie, it's kind of old, the main character is all grown up now, but it has a timeless feeling to it, except for the lack of cell phones. It's great, now it's on DVD. You should probably buy it because your VHS copy is getting worn out. As a sidenote, no special features except for a theatrical trailer, but does it really need any?
K BYE!

I received this item in a timely manner and was very pleased with this transaction.

I don't know who Tom Keogh is, but he wrote a review that seems to be on behalf of Amazon.com about this film, and one has to wonder if he ever saw the movie. He mentions Culkin's character meeting two strangers, naming Billie Bird and John Candy. Well, Culkin's character never met them, the character's mother, played by Catherine O'Hara meets them as she tries to get back home to her son. Sheesh, way to go, Tom! Anyway, it IS a great film, and I'm glad the studio finally came out with a version on DVD that includes some nice extras. Way to go 20th Century Fox!

Wonderfully entertaining for all ages. My 5 yr. old grandson and I laughed and laughed during this movie. What fun! I recommend it for a delightful evening of fun.

We love this Christmas movie and just wanted to add it to our Christmas movie collection.

Product was quick to ship and quict to arrive. Seller was great! Movie was undamaged and I love the movie.

Great comedy hilarity! Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern play two bumbling crooks to perfection. Macaulay Culkin plays the boy genius when it comes to defending his home to the hilt too! No Christmas is complete without this movie. Kevin McCalister is left home alone after a power outage and a wrong head count of the kids only to be discovered on the airplane. Kevin goes through his brother buzz's room, gets to know his neighbor that Buzz told him was the southbend shovel slayer that Kevin is terrified of. Watch this if you need a laugh.

This movie ranks with The Princess Bride and It's a Wonderful Life as one of the greatest family movies ever. It gets off to a slow start, but once the action gets going, it's a very entertaining movie and holds one's interest until the very end. I guess this was the movie that catapulted McCauley Culkin to stardom, although now 15 years later I don't recall his doing anything else after the childhood years. But anyway, for a dull Friday night with the family you can liven things up with this movie. McCauley's clever traps for the two bungling burglers are a delight to watch as he repeatedly foils the attempts of the two grown-ups. Also, the clever way the director sets up the scene that shows how a child could have been overlooked and left behind is very clever, and all too plausible. (I won't say anything here so as not to have any spoilers). The movie is probably a classic and still worth watching today.

I remeber this being one of my favorite holiday movies when I was younger. I happend to catch it last night and enjoyed it just the same. It really holds up being funny and somewhat touching even after all these years. Plus it's one of those movies any age can enjoy. I definately recommend Home Alone especially during the holiday season.

One of our family's favorite Christmas movies. I can only hope that my child could function if I accidentally left him at home alone over the Christmas holidays! The movie brings laughter EVERY time we watch it. Yes, in the beginning there is disrespectfulness but that just gives it a point to start the being thankful for family result in the end.

A sweet family movie for the whole family.

I love Home Alone 1 and 2, i always watch these two movies during the holidays. These movies will always bring me back to a time when i was
a kid and remember my dad taking my little brother and i to the movies
to see both of these when they were brand new, shortly after my cousin
and i bought them on VHS and watched them all the time. Macaulay Culkin
played a great roll in these movies, and all of those traps he set up
all over the house was so clever and funny to watch, being a typical
child, being angry at his family wishing he would never seen them again,
and when it appears to be so, he greatly misses them all and wishes them
back. All of the other characters in this movie all played great rolls.
I would recommend this movie to anybody who has not yet seen it.

On November 21st, 2006, 20th Century Fox released Home Alone - Family Fun Edition. This DVD edition is the long awaited special edition to one of cinemas most adored Christmas films. This edition offers a hefty amount of extra goodies...such as over 30 minutes of deleted scenes, on the set featurettes, new interviews, and a brand new commentary track featuring director Chris Columbus & Macaulay Culkin. I have to say unlike most commentary tracks, this one is actully very informative and very fun. Macaulay and Chris seem to have so much fun watching the film. This edition like the first one is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. I read somewhere that the video and audio is updated too, I cannot confirm if it is or not but I read that. If you own the previous edition of this film, it is definately worth your money to update to this. The special features alone warrant a double dip. Also for the hold outs not wanting to buy the film til it got a special edition, well here it is. I would recommend this edition to anyone wanting to own this classic film on DVD.

This is a classic Christmas time kids movie. A must watch (though I always felt the second one was the best)

The Home Alone movie series is probably the most entertaining, comedic series that both kids and adults will enjoy. The jokes, actors, and tricks are sure to provide a couple of hours of good family fun!

So what's this movie about? Basically, a boy named Kevin is seperated from his family when they accidentally leave him at home during the rush to get to the airport to go on their vacation to Paris. Kevin believes that he made his family disappear and he must fend for himself. Kevin eventually comes in contact with two robbers who are planning to rob Kevin's house. He comes up with boobytraps in order to stop them. Will the boobytraps stop the robbers? Will Kevin ever see his family again? These questions are answered at the end of this film.

So what's to like about this movie? First, I must point out that the acting is rather good for a family film. Of course we have Macaulay Culkin (who plays Kevin) and Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern (who play the robbers). All three do an amazing job playing their characters and even the rest of Kevin's family add a touch of extra personality to the film. Second, when it comes to movies that remind me of Christmas, Home Alone is one of them. I remember watching this movie when I was younger and being really excited about Christmas. This movie always comes out at Christmastime and my family loves watching it. Lastly, my absolute favorite part of the movie is the boobytrap scenes. Lots of laughs and even some twists.

And what's not to like? Look, this movie is not Oscar-worthy in my opinion. It is only meant to cause some chuckles and provide a couple of hours of entertainment. Don't go into this movie expecting too much.

The bottom line is this: If you're looking for a good family-oriented movie, check out Home Alone.

This comedy is loaded with ironies. The boy wishes that his family would disappear. For a time, he gets his wish. The boy, Kevin, considered to be incompetent, does exploits far beyond his age. Left alone by a big family who goes to Paris for Christmas, he takes care of the big house, does grocery shopping, and stymies two burglars. The burglars think that they will have an easy time with the boy, but instead get the hassle of their lives. A neighbor man, supposedly a murderer who used his snow shovel to kill his relatives, actually lost his relatives to an old, long-unresolved argument. As a further irony, he uses his snow shovel on the burglars. The mother, thinking that she is a bad parent for having forgotten her own son, learns from the Polka troupe (that is driving her home) that many of its members hardly ever see their children in the first place. Finally, the family, divided by spiteful comments, is brought together in their frantic efforts to return home to Kevin.

This is one of the greatest films of all time. It will be around forever! I was hoping this edition of the DVD would have special features with more shots and footage from the set from back in 1990. However, I'm sure that since it was 17 years ago most of the behind the scenes footage from the filming was lost. Most of the special features are just interviews with the people who put the film together, talking about what they did for the film. Be sure to listen to the DVD commentary with Macaulay Culkin and Chris Columbus. It's interesting to watch deleted footage that didn't make the film as well. Overall, I wish the special features were more elaborate and more on-set showing the actual shooting of the film, but since it was so long ago, I don't blame them for not having it on file anymore.

The first edition of this dvd was ok but lacked in the special features area and dvd quality. Thankfully the Family Fun edition has been released and the quality is excellent. This new edition has 5.1 sound and the picture quality is so much more crisper. This dvd is loaded with special features. It's hard to believe that Home Alone came out more than 16 years ago and has stood the test of time and is destined to be a holiday classic. Great fun movie...

Product arrived quickly and was in excellent condition. No problems.
Thank you.

This item is excellent and I am very happy that I ordered it. I wish that it would have arrived to me sooner.

This is a very funny movie from John Hughes (Breakfast Club, Maid in Manhattan). It's a bit like a cartoon tho in that what we learn from watching, is that, it's funny when someone falls down or gets seriously hurt.

This is a great movie especially when judged by the number of laughs it earns. Can it be? 16 years ago that this movie came out? I dare say this is a Christmas Classic. A Christmas Classic that could be enjoyed any time of the year. I believe in the world of literature, what? 50 years must go by before a Novel can be judged a Classic? How long is the wait for a movie?

OK, well, I thought this movie might not be as good then Lost In New York. But when I saw this movie IT was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Funny!!! The acting was great and the storyline is good too, the booby traps were awesome though pretty violent. When Marv stepped on the pin while going up the stairs and when he plunged both of his feet onto the ornaments Kevin spread out, I was expecting Marv to leave bloody foot prints around the house!

Sent as a gift. Althought I thought I had type in a message to go with it they didn't even know who sent it!!! Thanks

This film has become one of our favorites (I ordered the DVD copy to replace our original VHS version) and joins the ranks of White Christmas, Holiday Inn and A Wonderful Life in our collection of holiday classics. While the family dynamic presented falls somewhat short of ideal, the laughes and overall message of the film are fun and heartwarming and what family doesn't have it's own interesting characters and adventures?!?. The extra features included add to the fun; we especially enjoyed the sequence about the stunts.

A throughly enjoyable experience that, like Kevin, never grows old!

This is one of those movies I can watch over and over. That's what makes it a classic.
