I know this argument is rarely made, but I am now about to support the movie Home Alone. It is on HBO right now and I am enjoying it way too much. I'm sorry, but this movie is good-hearted fun, in every way. I mean, every little kid dreams of having a house all to themselves. I know I did. Macaully Culkin is every eight year old's hero. I would like to specifically point to the scene when he is jumping on his parents' bed and eating popcorn simultaneously. Now I could do this today but it is the idea of doing it on your parents' bed that is so appealing. Pure brilliance.

And of course his ability to fool the villians throughout the final scenes of the film is wonderful. Even today I would like to be able to do this. You can't say you don't fantasize about tricking robbers with booby traps and the like (obviously not every day, but on occcasion). I would like to say that this movie is great fun and recommended for every holiday, even Arbor Day.
