The idea of an 8-year-old boy who is mistakenly left home alone by his family and has to protect the house from two bumbling burglars is pretty entertaining. Memorable moments such as the Angels with Filthy Souls film-within-a-film, the entire House defence sequence or Kevin messing around the home after realising his family left. Solid acting from most of the cast with Macaulay Culkin doing a great performance as Kevin McCallister. As mention on WIR#3, Kevin McCallister is pretty much a likable and memorable character of all time and he has a lot of character development. He is a rambunctious eight-year-old with a penchant for creating harmful inventions, until he met Harry and Marv, and he must protect his own home and he did it successfully. Harry and Marv are also absolutely hilarious and make superb partners in crime. They have perfect compatability with Harry being the arrogant, but somewhat intelligent one, with Marv a cautious but easily frightened person. Despite their stupidity, they are competent and determined villains. The use of foreshadowing in the film, such as Kevin's passport accidentally being thrown away and the props for the booby-traps being seen in the basement, is brilliant. John Williams' musical score is brilliant, as it's one of the best scores to come from a Christmas movie. Plenty of well composed musical numbers that are well remembered: The timeless song, "Somewhere in My Memory" and the song "O Holy Night" is very emotional and beautifully sung by a church choir. Memorable and funny lines, such as "Kevin!", "Why the hell are you dressed like a chicken?", "Keep the change, you filthy animal!", and "Kevin, what did you do to my room?!"' A beautifully emotional ending that ties up all the loose ends. The booby traps, despite their deadly and dangerous nature in real life, are very memorable, especially the blowtorch, the burning doorknob, the broken ornaments, and the paint cans.
