The post 161: Top 10 Best & Worst Holiday Films appeared first on The Cinematic Reel.

This week, we celebrate 30 years of Home Alone. Released in November 1990, the film’s slapstick comedy and holiday themes made it not only an instant classic but the highest-grossing domestic comedy of all time. Who didn’t want to be Kevin McCallister fending off the bumbling burglars, Harry and Marv?
