After watching this DVD I believe the comment rating it with only two stars on grounds of the poor video quality is not fair. Image and sound might not be the best possible ones - this is not a digital remastered picture -but they are fairly good.
On the other hand, it is an excellent feature with great actors.
Despite Home Alone 1 being an absolute classic, I've always liked this better than the first. There's more of a story, more lovely scenes and more traps. I recommend both Home Alone 1 and 2, and possibly number 3. Enjoy! These are real Christmas treats!

This is one of the oldest and best-known christmasmovies ever, so I really wonder why I waited until this year to see it. From now on, I will see it every year, `cause it`s one of the best christmas movies I`ve ever seen!
It`s about a little girl who doesn`t believe in Santa Claus, probably because her mom manages the christmasparade every year and tells her daughter about the Santa`s she have to rent, and how bad they are. The mom is also a very realistic person who thinks we should only believe in the things we know for a fact, and that imagination is unnecessary.
But this year a Santa appears as if from nowhere, and her mom hires him for the parade and for the mall. The little girl goes with her neighbour to see Santa at ... Read More:

I have liked this movie since I was a child and was sceptical when the Attenborough version came out - but delighted by the result.
This is a great feelgood Christmas movie that I have now shown to my 11 year old who loved it. It has all the charm of a Christmas story and you really want Chris Kringle to be the real Santa. Which, of course, he is.
Putting the two versions together - The original has a much stronger start and the remake has a better court scene and final scene. Perhaps one day there will be a combined version.

What a treat! Here we have one of the UK's finest twentieth century actors (Alec Guinness) starring in a story by one of the UK's finest twentieth century novelists (Graham Greene). It also stars Burl Ives, Ralph Richardson and Maureen O'Hara. This is a light-hearted black-and-white comedy (Greene called it an 'entertainment') about Wormold, a vacuum cleaner salesman, recruited into espionage by Secret Service agent Hawthorne (Noel Coward). Wormold needs the money to finance his daughter's expensive tastes, especially with horses, but quickly finds himself out of his depth when expected to find further recruits at his country club. He files false reports and supplies drawings of non-existent secret weapons, based on vacuum cleaner designs. The story takes ... Read More:

A man recalls his early days growing up in a small village in Wales, the youngest in a family of coal miners. His father was wise and strong, his mother gentle, his brothers hard workers, and his only sister beautiful. They faced the ups and downs of life with courage and hope.
This Best Picture of 1941 has become a classic and deservedly so. The hard life of the miners contrasts with the warmth of family and neighbors, and the respect and loyalty of the Morgan family is inspiring. Roddy McDowell is adorable as the youngest in the family; he gives a restrained performance that is sympathetic without being too sweet. Donald Crisp is perfect as his father, a simple yet wise man. Maureen O'Hara is lovely as the sister, even though her storyline ... Read More:

I saw this film at the cinema and on TV many times when it was first released and later. I have seen the remake too and it does not impress me. There is a lovely song sung by Hayley Milsl called "Let's Get Together". I am about to buy this DVD.

Don't you just miss John Candy? Not one of his funniest parts - he's actually out-acted by the wonderful Maureen O'Hara - but a fabulous film all the same that leaves you with a happy glow at the end.
