Home AlonePG

Directed by Chris Columbus | USA | 1990 | 1h 43m | Starring Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, Catherine O’Hara, John Candy

The McCallister family head to Paris for a well-earned Christmas holiday. As soon as they jet off, they realise that they’ve forgotten to take eight-year-old trouble-maker, Kevin, with them! Home alone, Kevin embraces his newfound freedom, until a couple of burglars start sniffing around. Over thirty years since Macaulay Culkin lit up the screen in this family-friendly Christmas comedy that still endures to this day.

Reviews

‘An amusing blend of cute humour and cartoon violence…The whole thing is gloriously tinged with nostalgia.’
★★★★
Patrick Smith, The Telegraph

‘There’s something warmly indelible about Kevin’s inadvertent staycation, a feeling owed to the fortuitous collaboration between 10-year-old star Culkin and screenwriter John Hughes’
Charles Bramesco, The Guardian

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
