Home Alone: Every installment in the Home Alone series seems to be funnier than the other. The first movie in the series was released in 1990. Starring Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, the movie soon became every child's favorite, especially during Christmas.
Movie Trivia:
- The line "You guys give up, or are you thirsty for more?" was improvised by Culkin while shooting.
- The decorations Marv steps on are actually candy.
- The picture Kevin finds of "Buzz's girlfriend" was a picture of a boy made up to look like a girl because Chris Columbus thought it would be too cruel to make fun of a girl like that. The boy that was used in the photo was the art director's son.
Die Hard: There's Christmas with Christmas cakes, carols, presents and yummy dinner and then there's Christmas with fighting the bad guys to save your wife! John McClain (Bruce Willis) definitely prefers the latter. The Die Hard series have all been centered on good winning over the bad, mostly during Christmas.
