Can we decide which Home Alone is the best

In 2 Kevin goes full psychopath,
Almost everything he does should kill someone.
I wanna say 1 is more believable but saying that I think 2 is more emotional and dare I say feels more mature.
It's a tough one but I'm gonna say 1.

The first one is the GOAT, the second one its pretty cool because Tim Curry, but it lacks the 'freshness' of the first one.
The whole childrens hospital/Duncan and pigeon lady stuff in 2 is sooo lame but goddamn if I didn't laugh my ass off during the house defense when I rewatched it this weekend. That pipe to their faces lmao. Daniel Stern and his skeleton are acting the shit out of this movie.
Also the supporting cast in the Plaza is pretty great.

except for trump
As a kid I would always dream of the scene where he spends all that cash. LIVING THE LIFE
But yes, Home Alone 2. Though the pigeon lady arc was pretty stupid looking back on it, I'll admit.
Doesn't Kevin prove that he hasn't learned anything in Home Alone 2? After seeing that his old shovel neighbor is actually nice, he fears the bird lady out of his usual elitist prejudice.
In Home Alone 1 Kevin is a little shit and his family are all a bunch of assholes so I really didn't care if they got robbed or not, plus the first movie has to invent some pretty stupid reasons to justify why nobody can communicate with Kevin.
The way Kevin gets separated from his family in Home Alone 2 is a little more justifiable (and scarier, tbh) plus Home Alone 2 has Tim Curry chewing up scenery.

Roger Ebert liked it the best of the first three, lol.
I didn't get to it until awhile later, in my teens. I think if I watched it as a kid I would have enjoyed it a lot more.
The first is the best but only by a hair, Home Alone 2 is one of the best sequels ever made and is pure childlike wonder and awe distilled into film.
Let me use this as an opportunity to give a big "fuck you" to Home Alone 4 by the way.

TBF, a neighbor with a shovel is NOTHING like a homeless lady with pigeons covering every inch of her body. just saying.
Donald Trump cameos are the fucking worst. He always plays Donald Trump and it's always some self-serving bullshit where he is just standing around in a tuxedo being Donald Trump. He can't act. At all. Sometimes he'll have one line and he always mangles it. When I'm watching an old movie in 2018 and Donald Trump pops in for a cameo I feel like I'm being personally trolled by the simulation. He got me again recently when I rewatched Two Weeks Notice. It's like the Stan Lee cameos from Marvel movies if Stan Lee was a smarmy dumbass white supremacist.
I watched Home Alone 2 over the weekend and I had such a visceral reaction to Marv getting slammed in the head with those fucking bricks. I mean, my god, all I could imagine in my head is Harry looking down in horror as Marv's skull is crushed in and he's bleeding out and seizing while Kevin fucking McCallister--the asshole kid who permanently scarred my hand, helped give me a severe TBI, and set my god damn hair on fire--is still hurtling bricks down on my partner-in-crime and best friend. Pieces of Marv's skull and brain matter smattering the cold New York concrete, meat steaming in the midnight air.
But then Marv turns into a skeleton and I laugh my fucking ass off.

Seriously, the violence in the second one is EXTREME. As a kid, it didn't bother me at all, but as an adult I'm like jesus christ that's a fucking brick, you little asshole
The first is better. The second is great in its own way, but it's also a damn live action Looney Tunes cartoon. I kind of love them both though. We have holiday films on rotation at my job in the break room right now, so I've watched portions of Home Alone the last few days and it's still a whole lot of fun.
Also, The Good Son is the real Home Alone 3.

i will never forget, leaving the theater after seeing home alone 2 as a kid and my mom saying she didn't like it as much as the first one because it was too violent
The first film had a lovely John Candy cameo, Kevin's excited realisation that he was home alone, Uncle Frank and his not-very-compassionate nature — "Just horrible. Horrible, horrible." — Marve's dialogue was more memorable, that monstrous ice cream sundae Kevin was happily woofing down, "Keep the change, you filthy animal!", the better booby-traps (compared to the sequel) and is just generally a feel-good family Christmas film.
I absolutely adore Home Alone, along with Elf and The Muppet Christmas Carol.

When he gets slapped in the face and begins tearing up JUUST SLIGHTLY I lose my shit.
Its Home Alone 1. I like them both, but 2 is a very safe sequel that basically rehashes 1 in a different setting.
And Shovel Man >>>>>> Pidgeon lady.

Home Alone 1 it has that 90's family feel to it. HA2 is ok but not as good as HA1. Wet bandits>Sticky bandits.
I like both of them, but I prefer 2, probably because I saw it before I saw 1 and I was relatively young.
My thoughts exactly. Hell I recently watched the second with my kids ( I personally hadn't seen the movie in yeeaaars) and I don't think I laughed so hard at a gag in my life. I seriously couldn't stop laughing smh.
Damn. Actually hesitating a lot on this one. I think i prefer the 2nd one. Hmm wait. I dunno ! Love the old woman in the 2nd one and the Duncan shop. Hmmm dude i dunno. Not gonna vote lol
