Yes, it did make the list. Let's be honest, it's a fun movie. Cute little Kevin McCallister is accidentally left home alone, when his family flies to France. Everything would be fine, except two idiot burglars are dead set on robbing his house. If you haven't seen this film... well, maybe you should re-evaluate your life.

Flick of the Day

Film: MY COUSIN VINNY

Director: Jonathan Lynn

Actors: Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei, Ralph Macchio, Lane Smith, Mitchell Whitfield, Fred Gwynne, Bruce McGill, Maury Chaykin

Year: 1992

Synopsis: Two guys, who are put on trial for murder and robbery, rely on their seemingly-clueless cousin Vinny.

This is one of my favorite comedies of all time. Joe Pesci (in a role that deserved an Oscar nomination) is Vinny Gambini, a New York attorney, who is ready for his first case. Marisa Tomei (who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress) is flawless as gum-smacking, auto-savvy, Mona Lisa Vito. The laughs start the minute the movie starts and last all the way through.

"Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along. You get thirsty. You spot a little brook. You put your little deer lips down to the cool, clear water... BAM!!!! A fuckin' bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces. Now I ask ya, would you give a f**k what kind of pants the son of a bitch who shot you was wearing?" Mona Lisa Vito
