So tough

I am leaning towards Home Alone 2, the traps are hilarious in that one. He legit electrocutes them and shit, it's wild.

Easily Miracle for me. I used to actually like Home Alone 2 better than the first but it was mostly cause I had it on VHS as a kid first seemed boring to me bc it was in one house most of the time...and now that's what I like better. And miracle is one of my top films like ever, not even Christmas so no contest

Home alone 2 even though it’s a copy of 1

Its Miracle for me. If it was up against the first Home Alone it would be more of a fight.

I'm a simple 90s guy and I vote that way
