The booby traps set up by Kevin leave you cringing and laughing. Home Alone is a light-hearted and crowd-pleasing Christmas film for all ages.
Christmas Vacation (1989)
We will all go overboard for at least one Christmas in our lifetime; Clark Griswold’s no exception. After failed perfect Christmas celebrations, he pulls out all the stops, invites the in-laws, and decks out the house in an expanse of lights. However, things don’t go too well for Clark as a series of unfortunate events make for a difficult time (hilarious for the viewer, of course). Another brilliant film if you’re looking to have a laugh with your date and also cringe behind the popcorn bowl. With some mild spicy humor, it’s a great film to casually set the tone.
