Home Alone Tops The Charts
So, from that research, the No. 1 holiday movie among Virginians is a film that has become a classic, Macaulay Culkin’s “Home Alone” featuring the precocious and resourceful Kevin who is inadvertently left, well, home alone as his family travels to Paris. The plot thickens as Kevin finds himself defending his home by fending off comical burglars Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern with a series of hilarious booby traps.
The No. 2 holiday movie among Virginians turns out to be “The Polar Express“, which uses live action and computer-generated animation to tell the story of a magical train making a run from Michigan to the North Pole. Tom Hanks stars.
No. 3 is “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, the live-action 2000 version with Jim Carrey as the wily villain who is redeemed in the end by the spirit of selflessness.
No. 4 is Will Ferrell in “Elf”. Ferrell plays a 6-foot-3 Elf who carries the innocence of being raised as an elf on a trip to New York City to find his real father.
No. 5 is “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”, part of the farcical “Vacation” franchise (the third one) starring Chevy Chase who, as Clark Griswold, tries to create the perfect Christmas celebration for his family but is constantly frustrated by a series of calamities.
