Home Alone1+2 Df Bd+dhd

I am so glad that "Amazing" Amazon, as I call this site, have something that I have always wished for and wanted. Combining Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost In New York was pure genius! I wanted to hurry up and get this movie before they were sold out to the point where there would not be anymore in stock ever again. These movies brought a lot of memories for me. I was in grade school when both movies were out. My mother didn't get a chance to take us to see the first Home Alone movie at a movie theater, but she sure took my younger sister and myself to see the second one at the movies. I remember right before being in the jr. high grades (7th & 8th grade), throughout high school, and after graduating from high school, how the local TV network and cable television would show those movies on the night of both Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. The third movie was very crappy! Then had the nerve and audacity to make a fourth one! I'm sure the fourth one wasn't good (I didn't see that one), but I saw the third one once, and never saw it again ( and never will either!). That explains why buying the first two Home Alone movies in one DVD set was a huge deal to me. Ain't nothing like the original! In this case, the sequel to the first one was just as successful, pleasant, and enjoyable enough to watch. Like many movies, the first two Home Alone movies can be watched any time of the year, however, watching them movies around the holiday season is the best time to watch them, based on the storyline of the movie. It's what is represents and symbolizes that makes it that much important. These movies are so great that people of all ages watch them with their families and friends! I'm so fortunate that I remember when they first came to the "big screen" and will always treasure the first two Home Alone movies for years to come. Had both movies on VHS and now -in the present- got them on DVD. I also got my sister a copy as well, as a Christmas gift, who I am sure will enjoy this, just as much as I do. Although I have purchased these movies through YouTube (now Google TV), I still had to buy this one DVD set case, because it is a classic that is as touching as it is hilarious. Perfect cast, storyline, and props. Need I say more? All I have to say left is that if you all are fans of these movies, hurry up and get them while they are available. Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost In New York are true Christmas movie classics that will last a lifetime!

Can't beat this movie around the holiday. Truly a classic! Love this movie!

Arrived quickly

Good entertainment

This was the Christmas gift for an eight-year-old girl who loves the home alone movies as much as her grandma does. Watch the movie you'll laugh and laughter is the best medicine

We enjoyed watching Home Alone, 1 and 2 with our daughter ( a teacher) granddaughter (student) during the Christmas break. It was fun to laugh with those we love and have popcorn and cokes, and a puppy who also enjoyed this time together.

I'm going to agree with previous reviewer "L. Velasco" and say that this collection is awesome, except for the picture quality of the second movie. With Home Alone, you can tell that they took time to remaster it for the transfer to Blu-ray and although it still has that "early 90s" look to the picture, it is still a great transfer. It breathes new life into a film that's 20+ years old. But in Home Alone 2 - my favorite of the two - it is PAINFULLY obvious that they just took the DVD master and cranked up the resolution to 1080p. Grainy doesn't even describe it. Usually in a bad transfer you can just see some grain in darker scenes. But in this release of Home Alone 2, it's evident in EVERY scene. It was actually distracting to the point where even my wife noticed it, and she's not an HD-snob like myself. That being said, it doesn't detract from the overall enjoy-ability of the movie. These are still two of my favorite Christmas movies, and I'm happy to now own them on Blu-ray. One aspect that really shines is the obviously remastered soundtracks on both discs! They are DTS-Master Audio and sound amazing!! I have a better-than-average home theater system and it really came alive while watching these films. The musical score was meticulously separated into all 5 channels and I heard details and LOTS of crisp, deep bass notes that I never heard before. In HA2 when the pigeons come to get Harry and Marv, there were wings flapping all around me. The sound engineers did an awesome job with these movies and, for me at least, it was the most enjoyable aspect of watching them on Blu. One small negative thing I noticed is that there were some inconsistencies in dialog volume where it was much lower than in the previous scene, almost to the point of needing to raise the volume to hear it clearly. Overall, this was a worthy purchase, especially at the price I paid. I'm glad to have these two "classics" (man, I'm getting old!) on Blu-ray to have in my collection for years to come to share with my future children for them to enjoy them the same way I did when they first came out. If you enjoyed either or both film(s), buy this set. You will not regret it!!

Always great to watch during the holidays.

Super film de tout le temps.

Ondertussen al 100x gezien. Kleinkinderen blijven het grappig vinden.

Eigentlich kann ich amerikanische Weihnachtsfilme nicht ausstehen, zeigen sie doch nur, wie kitschig Weihnachten sein kann. Bei den beiden Kevin allein zu Haus-Filmen ist das eine Ausnahme, da sie wirklich gut gemacht sind, wenn auch einige kitschige typische Ami-Elemente enthalten sind. Als Beispiel sei mal die Weihnachtsbeleuchtung vom Haus der McCallister's genannt - wer's mag. Das tut den beiden großartigen Filmen aber keinen Abbruch. Als Highlight beider Filme ist sicherlich jeweils die Sequenz, in der Kevin "sein" Haus verteidigt. Dass diese aber nicht ganz realistisch dargestellt sind, dürfte eigentlich jedem klar werden, nachdem er sie gesehen hat. ***ACHTUNG SPOILER*** - Wenn jemandem beispielsweise ein Regal mit - vollen - Farbeimern drauffällt, anschließend unter Strom steht, dann noch einen Sack Zement auf den Schädel bekommt, darf man sich fragen, wieviele Leben derjenige hat. Im ersten Film gibt es eine Szene, vor der ich als Kind Angst hatte und ich mir sogar geschworen hatte, diesen Film deswegen nie wieder anzuschauen: Die Szene, als Kevin im Keller ist und der Ofen anfängt zu geistern. Diesen Schwur habe ich mittlerweile natürlich gebrochen. Zur Qualität der Blu-Ray: Ähnlich wie bei den alten James Bond-Filmen hat man sich hier wirklich Mühe gegeben, 20 Jahre altes Filmmaterial optisch aufzuwerten. Das Bild ist gestochen scharf, wenn es auch an manchen Stellen etwas grießelt. Fällt aber nicht besonders auf. Tonmäßig kann ich nichts dazu sagen, da ich keine so hochwertige Anlage habe, um darüber ein Urteil abzugeben. Bonusmaterial: Das Bonusmaterial des ersten Films ist absolut TOP. Ein Making-Of, unveröffentlichte Szenen und Interviews - So sollte Bonusmaterial auf einer Blu-Ray aussehen. Der zweite Film enttäuscht dagegen: Nur der Kinotrailer und sonst nichts. Im Vergleich zur DVD-Version fehlt der dritte und vierte Teil, der aber sowieso mit anderen Darstellern besetzt ist. Dies sollte aber nicht sonderlich stören, da diese eigentlich eh nicht so besonders sind. Der einzige, der noch etwas gut war, ist der dritte. Aber der vierte ist totaler Schwachsinn. Somit lohnt sich die Blu-Ray-Version allemal. Fazit: Für mich sind es Filme, die man sich auch als Erwachsener anschauen kann, da sie zeigen wie viel Einfallsreichtum in einem Kind stecken kann, wenn er "sein" Haus verteidigt. Absolute Kaufempfehlung.

Good product
