It's that time of year to watch an 8-year-old outwit two adults with progressively zanier traps.
The holiday 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."

What is Macaulay Culkin doing now?
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.
