It’s the best movie mentioned in this thread. Both Stewart and Reed were amazing, and Capra was pure magic.

I MIGHT like Home Alone 2 more than Home Alone.

But both are better than It's A Wonderful Life

Fair. I just meant that he doesn't ruin the fun of the movie because he's so forgettable.

Die Hard is the closest. Two all time greats.

Of course rating movies is always subjective, but if we were to try to reach some objectivity in it you could look to ratings, success, critics etc. Pretty sure it’s rated highest on the big movie sites (like letterboxd, imdb - all time number 21 of all movies there). Ongoing success is up there with the best of the golden age of Hollywood considering its and their age, it’s remarkable.
