25. Home Alone SUCKS

Gawd, it represents what is WRONG with America, especially in having no taste. "A Christmas Story" FLOPPED when it came out in 1983, but caught on with the help of cable repeats. "Home Alone" was a huge success, one of the biggest hits of the decade. It's trite, obvious, and clichéd. It sucks a big one. Embarrassing for Joe Pesci.

Compare the child actors in "Xmas Story" with the vapid and mugging Macauley Culkin, and you will see what I mean. Peter Billingsley in "Xmas Story" was a master of timing and nuance. He also is a successful director now. Culkin is a drug-addled loser, appropriately.
