Theo… I’m gonna give you to the count of ten, to get your ugly, yella, no-good keister
out of this topic, before I pump your guts full of lead.

One… two… TEN

I’ll be honest, guys (@marckee @hip_young_gunslinger @colon_closed_bracket @anon67149139) I just think Home Alone is a deeply underachieving film for what it is and was being a bit hyperbolic. You want top notch slapstick comedy with Joe Pesci? My Cousin Vinny is 10x the film Home Alone is. You want great John Hughes stuff with Culkin? Uncle Buck is your go-to.

My ‘slabs of shit’ also includes Titanic which is probably a 7/10 when all’s said and done, given the quality of direction etc.

Basically I just wanted to make it clear that even though I’d seen those movies, it definitely shouldn’t lead anyone reading to think they should seek out to watch them too.

C’mon. 5/10 at best.

Uncle Buck is great! Think that was on recently, caught a bit of it channel-hopping.

I want a Christmas film with a huge portion of slapstick comedy, a handful of cameos and a happy ending (behave, you pervs). And Home Alone delivers, as does Home Alone 2.

I respect your opinion though, binary 106.

Don’t think this is right

It wasn’t a joke, you both just jumped in to have a crack at something totally innocuous.

I listed films from the IMDB top 20 I hadn’t seen. Then, thinking that may not be the best barometer of popularity I said: “I don’t know how you’d quantify popular” i.e. "If we’re interpreting popularity differently (such as by box office takings etc) then I’ve never seen Titanic.

Don’t even know why I’m querying this, you don’t even appreciate Home Alone.

Little Shop of Horrors?

#111

Shittle plop of horrors, more like (not seen it)

#112

Or relevant

#113

Oh right. Genuinely thought from your response that I’d been Wolfcastled.

#114

South Park or Team America obviously.

#115

Quite liking ‘Chippy Theo’ in this thread

South park: bit shit
Team America: less shit, but not really a musical

also see my earlier retraction to hyg that I should’ve made this a live-action only hot-take. Quite a few good animated musicals
