Home Alone vs Christmas Story

[mrbizzard]

Both movies are classic Christmas movies, that many people may enjoy watching. Which one is your favorite? (I am referring to the first Home Alone movie) Why do you enjoy watching this movie over the other?

I am a kid at heart and like to watch both of them. Some of the shows they have now are not worth watching.

Thats a tough one. home alone is funny but I would have to go with Christmas story. The family reminds me of mine in some ways and it makes me laugh to the corkyness of my family to relateable child hood memories.

I would choose Christmas Story. I love that classic. Not really a home alone fan.

I prefer Christmas Story! There are just too many one-liners that I will never forget. You'll shoot you eye out" is my favorite. I know a couple who collect Christmas ornaments from that movie. The leg lamp is the best! What fun to look forward to each year.

  I personally like "A Christmas Story". Sticks to the theme of Christmas and the reason we celebrate it.

I really like the home alone series

I will choose Home Alone, because I have not seen the Christmas Story.

I like watching a christmas movie better I can believe it better then home alone.

For me it's no contest - "A Christmas Story" all the way.  "Home Alone" was okay, but I personally didn't find it all that funny.

I can relate much better to "A Christmas Story" even though the time setting was a little before my time.  I remember the pain of bundling up in those snowmobile suits, trying to get them on in time so I didn't miss the bus home.  The bullies, the dares.  The simple wonderment of the season - back when the Christmas holiday seemed like a special holiday event (today it's gotten way to commercialized and predictable - particularly now that stores are rolling everything out the day after Halloween!).

The imagining clips are priceless.  And, as a Packer fan, I always chuckle as the "Chicago Chipmunks" line in the movie.

I like Home Alone for the beautiful outside Christmas scenes - not so much for the content or the story. I do prefer Christmas Story because it's so funny. You can't help but laugh.

home alone is funny but chritmas story is a classic

I have to vote for the christmas story since it does a much better job of sticking to the reason that we celebrate christmas.

I can't pick just one  but Home Alone, A Christmas Story, It's a Wonderful Life, and a Miracle on 34th St. are all a must watch
