Why Home Alone is the best Christmas movie ever

By: Benson Elmore

When you think of great christmas movies you probably think of the classics like Elf, and A Christmas Story, or other great movies. But when you really think about the greatest movie in Christmas movie history, the answer is obviously the undisputed greatest of all time, Home Alone. 

This movie is one of the greatest and most comedic movie experiences you can get, not to mention this is only the FIRST ONE. Even though the second and third movies are not as good as the original one, these movies are on the S tier (which is the highest one) of christmas movies. 

As a professional movie expert myself, I have seen the classics that everyone argues is better, but in all reality, we all know that the home alone trilogy take spot one, two, and three. If you do not agree with this take then you are simply biased.

 When it comes to the acting skill, Macaulay Culkin really shows off his raw talent. His character and acting skills carry the trilogy to greatness. 

Another reason this movie is the greatest of all time is because of how creative the directing crew was in the making of this pure masterpiece. Who in the world would think of all of the creative traps that Kevin set up in the movie. I mean, how does anyone on this planet not enjoy this movie. When it comes to the directing crew and the creativity of this movie, the proof is in the pudding. This movie is top tier.

 “Home Alone is a timeless holiday classic that blends heartwarming family moments with slapstick comedy and thrilling action. The film’s humor, memorable performances, and iconic scenes, combined with a strong message about family and the holiday spirit, make it a beloved movie that continues to captivate audiences of all ages. Its charm and humor have solidified it as a Christmas favorite.” New York Times Magazine states. 

Overall, this movie is the greatest movie of all time. There are unlimited reasons why it is better than any other movie, and if you honestly think that any other movie is better than you are not a true holiday movie fan.  

My Favorite Christmas Movie

This week, in honor of the Christmas season I will be writing about my top 2 favorite Christmas movies. Christmas movies are the best part about the holiday season and my favorite 2 are Home Alone and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. 

Home Alone is definitely the best Christmas movie ever made and a lot of people would have to agree with that statement. It is a classic and it’s funny and suspenseful at the same time. The movie is about a kid named Kevin who accidentally got left home alone by his family when they went on vacation for Christmas. The whole movie these two guys, Marv and Harry, are trying to rob his house. He finds out they are coming and sets up tons of traps and pranks around the house to keep them from robbing him. This movie is overall so entertaining and I would have to rate it a 10/10. 

My next favorite movie is, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This movie is also another classic but my favorite version is the newest version by far. The story line is the same but they change up the songs and I thought they did a great job. The movie is about this character named the Grinch and he hates Christmas. His plan was to ruin Christmas for all the Who’s in Whoville. So what he does is on Christmas night he dresses up as Santa Clause and goes to steal all the presents and Christmas decorations from all the houses. While he is doing this he runs into a little girl and he realizes that what he is doing is wrong and he apologizes to everyone. After this the Grinch becomes nice and loves Christmas and he becomes friends with all the Who’s in Whoville. Overall I rate this movie a 8/10.

Top Christmas Movies

By: Addie Griffin

Christmas movies are one of the best parts of the holiday season. They are one thing you can always count on to bring the whole family together. Today I will be ranking the top 5 christmas movies. 

5. Starting off at number five is Rudolf the Rednosed Reindeer. This movie deserves to make the list because it is a famous movie that everyone loves. It is traditional and the songs are classic. However it is a bit of a slower and older movie which is why it is in the number five spot. It is perfect if you are searching for that nostalgic Christmas feel. 

4. At the number four spot is How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This movie is funny for all ages and teaches us what Christmas is truly about, rather than just receiving gifts. The Grinch’s spirit at the beginning of the movie makes it a little less fun which is why it is at the fourth sport. However this movie teaches us a great lesson which is why it deserves a spot on this list. 

3. Starting off the top three list is The Polar Express. This movie is magical and really puts you in the Christmas spirit. The adventures they go through make you feel like you’re in a dream. It shows how important it is to believe in Christmas even as you get older. It is not as funny as the top two, but still deserved a spot on the top three list. 

2. In second place is Elf. This movie is hilarious and full of Christmas spirit. Buddy’s excitement for the holidays is contagious. No matter how many times I watch this movie, it always makes me laugh. This movie also teaches us to stay positive and to keep believing in the magic of Christmas. 

1.First place obviously goes to Home Alone. This is the funniest Christmas movie and the most exciting. Kevin’s traps are so creative and watching the burglars fall for them never gets old. It has the perfect mixture of comedy and heartfelt moments, especially heartwarming when his family comes back. It reminds us Christmas is about being with the people you love no matter what animosity there might be.
