Product Description Home Alone:Eight-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) has become the man of the house, overnight! Accidentally left behind when his family rushes off on a Christmas vacation, Kevin gets busy decorating the house for the holidays. But he's not decking the halls with tinsel and holly. Two bumbling burglars are trying to break in, and Kevin's rigging a bewildering battery of booby traps to welcome them!Home Alone 2:Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is back! But this time he's in New York City with enough cash and credit cards to turn the Big Apple into his own playground! But Kevin won't be alone for long. The notorious Wet Bandits, Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), still smarting from their last encounter with Kevin, are bound for New York too, plotting a huge holiday heist. Kevin's ready to welcome them with a battery of booby traps the bumbling bandits will never forget!Home Alone 3:Here's a perfect movie for kids, who never seem to tire of John Hughes's sure-fire slapstick formula. Working yet another variation on his mammoth 1990 hit, writer-producer Hughes (regarded by many as Hollywood's antichrist) strands a youngster in his own home with the chicken pox in this 1997 retelling. While his parents go to work, he sees a team of burglars invading the neighborhood houses; in fact, they're spies, looking for a toy containing a stolen microchip. The inevitability of the finale--one kid holding off four professionals with toys and garden tools--will do nothing to lessen the amusement of youngsters, who love to see the bad guys get creamed. Adults may pause at the sadistic nature of some of Hughes's pranks, but kids will eat up the image of one of their own outwitting all the adults. --Marshall FineHome Alone 4:It's tough being nine. Tougher still is spending Christmas with dad (Jason Beghe) at his new girlfriend Natalie's (Joanna Going) mansion even though it's loaded with all the techno-gadgets any kid could hope for! But this Christmas, Kevin (Michael Weinberg) is really in hot water again, and so are Marv (French Stewart) and his sidekick (Missi Pyle), who are trying to rob Natalie's house! With funnier and more high-tech, crime-stopping wizardry at his disposal than ever, Kevin just might finally put these crooks on ice forever - and keep his parents together while he's at it - in this uplifting, hilarious comedy the whole family is sure to love! .com Review for Home Alone:Now and forever a favorite among kids, this 1990 comedy written by John Hughes (The Breakfast Club) and directed by Chris Columbus (Mrs. Doubtfire) ushered Macaulay Culkin onto the screen as a troubled 8-year-old who doesn't comfortably mesh with his large family. He's forced to grow a little after being accidentally left behind when his folks and siblings fly off to Paris. A good-looking boy, Culkin lights up the screen during several funny sequences, the most famous of which finds him screaming for joy when he realizes he's unsupervised in his own house. A bit wooden with dialogue, the then-little star's voice could grate on the nerves (especially in long, wise-child passages of pure bromide), but he unquestionably carries the film. Billie Bird and John Candy show up as two of the interesting strangers Culkin's character meets. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are entertainingly cartoonish as thieves, but the ensuing violence once the little hero decides to keep them out of his house is over-the-top. --Tom KeoghReview for Home Alone 2: Lost in New York:This somewhat unpleasant 1992 sequel to the blockbuster Home Alone revisits the first film's gimmick by stranding Macaulay Culkin's character in New York City while his family ends up somewhere else. Again, the little guy meets up with colorful people on the margins of society (including a pigeon woman played by Brenda Fricker) and again he gets into a prop-heavy battle with Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. The latter sequence is even worse than the first film in terms of violence inflicted on the two villains (director Chris Columbus, who also made the first film, can't seem to emphasize the slapstick over the graphic effects of the fight). The best running joke finds a concierge (Tim Curry) at the swank hotel where Culkin is staying trying and failing to prove that the boy is on his own. --Tom KeoghReview for Home Alone 3:Here's a perfect movie for kids, who never seem to tire of John Hughes's sure-fire slapstick formula.

Great Value
First of all, for those who gave this a one star rating because of the quality, read the product description before you buy. Besides, considering the fantastic price of the movies, I wouldn't expect much more than what was given. These are great movies that my 4 boys and I enjoy thoroughly. If you're not worried about the quality of video on a movie shot in the 1990's, then this is perfect for those families that love to see the "bad guys" get their bell rung a few times. Purchase the movie, pop some popcorn, and have a laughter filled evening with your family.

I couldn't believe how hard it was to find a copy of this item for sale!
My son has developed a fascination with the first two Home Alone movies which we had on VHS. He then decided that he'd like them on DVD and I knew that there had been a gift package of them which had the first 3 movies... at the time I wasn't even aware that there was a 4th Home Alone movie.I don't regret buying this item at all! Cody's loved each of the movies and watched them several times... I even still laugh at the wacky situations and had a blast watching them all with him. They're a fun series of family movies which I did enjoy! I just wish that characters had been played by the same actors for all of the movies.

Love "Home Alone" ? You need this set.
I fell in love with this movie the first time i saw it at the theater back in '90. To this day it still makes me laugh. It's a timeless classic in my opinion. I had never seen the 3rd and 4th versions so I'm glad i was able to get the whole set for such a great price. If you're into the HD quality then this set isn't for you. For someone like me who just loves the first two and doesn't need every movie to be crispy clear it's a great buy. I gave this set 5 stars because I love the movies and the price i paid for 4 movies was a great deal. Thank you Amazon.

Such a great deal. This is my all time childhood movie
Such a great deal. This is my all time childhood movie. I love watching Home Alone One and Two. I didn't care for the third one. They could have just sold one and two and not included three and I would have been happy. This is a pretty wholesome movie to watch during Christmas Time. Great movie because it allows children to just use their imaginations to see what it would be like to be home alone for days or wander the streets of New York. Yes, as an adult, most of the events that occur doesn't seem probable but it is just a great and funny movie to watch.

Great Classic, Great Price
Honestly, this is my favorite holiday movie of all time and probably my favorite movie in general. I bought this pack for under $12 and it came with all 4 Home Alone movies. For that price you really can't beat it. We all know that the only good movies out of the pack is the 1st and 2nd version, but if your buying for a child, it's nice to get the whole series. My niece who is only 3, loved the movies especially when the kid sets up all the traps and the robbers fall for it all. Since it comes as DVDs do not expect the HD effect, either way the movie quality was still good to me.

Nice to have the whole series together. Good entertainment.
I have enjoyed Home Alone for several years. Good plot, good acting and delightful. I especially liked the meeting of the next door neighbor and Kevin in the church and their discussion of solutions to their problems, and later when the neighbor rescues Kevin from the Water Bandits.The sequel located in New York has Kevin in VERY innovative situations that he handles with a lot of finesse. The way he saves the toy store's big donation from the same bandits is clever, and the scene with the turtle doves is very touching.All in all, it is good to have the whole set of Home Alone movies together. Home Alone 3 is one of my favorites.

with the world's most unforgivably stupid parents and even dumber criminals
Every Home Alone movie is included, although I actually did not want the last two. The price is worth it for the first two alone, however, because Macauley Culkin is ever-adorable in these two Christmas classics about the world's cutest little boy, with the world's most unforgivably stupid parents and even dumber criminals. I love the Christmas-time interior design in their home, which creates a perfect holiday environment for the stories. Despite all possible criticism of the films as art, they are a necessary part of the holidays at my house.
