It should be on demand if you have cable or Direct TV. Plenty of ads though. I watched it the other night.

Uncle Frank hits close to home. One of my uncles is a bald, Aggie goof ball with alligator arms. 
 

I think every neighborhood has an Old Man Marley. 

The heart of the movie is the old man neighbor church scene.  So good 

when the music is playing and he’s hugging his family I always cry

Home alone is so great. the orchestra music for this movie is so freaking awesome, just perfect.


Pro trip: If I need to kill 15-20 minutes with my 5 and 2 year old, I start home alone at the part Kevin shoots the bandits and play it until they get arrested. My kids love that whole scene. We got done with that just now before I saw this thread.

Seen this movie countless times (also watch it every Christmas), but still laugh hard everytime at the scenes where he plays the old gangster movie on the pizza delivery guy and Marv.

Jim Leyland was so good in this movie.

For the Hughes, Candy and Culkin fans, Uncle Buck is on HBO Max. 
 

My dad would make us the Uncle Buck pancakes on a huge griddle for every birthday when I was a kid. Pretty cool. 

Listened to a podcast about this movie last week. Old man Marley wasn’t even in Landis’ original script and was added late per the recommendation of the director. He felt the movie needed something more than the mom trying to get home to her son.

Another interesting tidbit was Warner Bros was the original studio to green light the movie, but only at a $10M budget. Landis went back and forth with them claiming the movie was more of a $12-14M budget kinda movie. They refused to go above $10M and on the eve of production, 20th Century Fox said they’d give the movie a $16M budget, so the movie switched production houses. Home Alone went on to make over $500M.

He sounded like a snake.

I will also say that 2 is a worthy sequel.  The scene where Daniel Stern takes the bricks to the face just kills me.

Stern and Pesci were the perfect bad guys. Pescis voice is iconic

“The Movies that Made Us” on Netflix has an episode about Home Alone. A lot of it involves the backstory of them switching studios. Really great story, they were walking a razor wire on the film ever being made.

I'd love to see an interview with the exec at Warner Bros that made that call.

Maybe an international treasure?

John Candy is great too. 
 

He was ok after, you know, six, seven weeks. Came around and started talking again.

I had it. 'Twas awesome. If I remember the history of the Talkboy correctly, it didn't exist until Home Alone 2 came out. I'm sure 20th Century Fox made a killing.
