4. Home Alone (1990)

This holiday classic is a perfect mix of comedy, mayhem, and touching moments. Macaulay Culkin, as Kevin McCallister, is left behind during Christmas and turns his loneliness into a funny escapade with inventive booby traps for inept burglars. The festive feel of the movie combined with its score by John Williams makes for an unbeatable feel-good experience. Thirty-three years have passed since Home Alone, but it is still a holiday staple for weekend marathons of often hilarious and nostalgic movies.
