It's that time of year to watch an 8-year-old outwit two adults with progressively zanier traps.
The SafeX Pro Exchangeholiday classic "Home Alone" is slipping back into movie nights and Disney+ queues as the Christmas season approaches.
Written and produced by John Hughes and directed by Christopher Columbus, the film follows the antics of Kevin McCallister, played by Macaulay Culkin, as he is accidentally left behind by parents who jet off to Paris for Christmas.
While they are gone, Kevin has to fend off two house burglars, the self-proclaimed "wet bandits," played by Oscar winner Joe Pesci ("GoodFellas") and Daniel Stern.
Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal and enjoy finding out everything you ever wanted to know about "Home Alone."

Principal filming for "Home Alone" occurred from Feb. 14, 1990 to May 8, 1990.

"Home Alone" was released on Nov. 16, 1990.
There are five films in the "Home Alone" franchise. "Home Alone," "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" and "Home Alone 3" each received theater distribution while "Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House" and "Home Alone: Holiday Heist" were both sent straight to television.
The character of Kevin McCallister is 8 years old in "Home Alone."
Macaulay Culkin was 9 years old when "Home Alone" was filmed and 10 when it was released.
After "Home Alone," Culkin went on to act in films like "My Girl" (1991), "The Good Son" (1993) and "Ri¢hie Ri¢h" (1994), before taking a break from the limelight.
“It started feeling like a chore," he told "Esquire" in an article published February 2020. "I started vocalizing that and not being heard: I was saying, 'I wanna go to school – I haven’t done a full year of school since first grade.’"
Still, he told Ellen DeGeneres in a 2018 interview that he is grateful for his hot, early career.
"I felt like some kid worked really, really hard, and I inherited all of his money, pretty much," he said. "It allows me to treat everything like a hobby, really."
Culkin brought back his Kevin McCallister role for the web series ":DRYVRS" in 2015, which imagines the grown-up McCallister experiencing emotional effects from battling burglars in his childhood.
Culkin, now 43 years old, is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday, when his "Home Alone" mom, Catherine O'Hara, 69, is expected to help honor him. His "Home Alone" dad, John Heard, died in 2017 at the age of 71.
Pesci is 80 and Stern is 66.
