Which movie do you like better Home Alone 1 or 2?

Tweet

For Christmas we bought my son the Home Alone movies, we got the set which includes the third one which is kind of a crappy movie in my opinion because it is nowhere near as good as the first two. That got my husband and I talking about which movie we liked better, we both agreed that we like the second movie better. I just thought it was way more hilarious and had more going on and the plot was better. Don't get me wrong the first one was good but I like the second one better. Most of the people I have talked to also liked the second one better, but I will on occasion find someone who did like the first one better. The first one was cool in that it was great seeing John Candy, but the second one has Tim Curry and Rob Schneider...not to mention the whole movie takes me back to my childhood. It is the first movie I can actually remember seeing in theaters, and I remember laughing so hard I could barely breathe. I remember it very fondly and as I watched it with my son I definitely laughed more than I did when we watched the first one together. He is bugging me to watch the third one now but I have a difficult time getting myself to watch it because it pales in comparison to the first two. It doesn't have the same cast and I don't remember finding the movie remotely funny, it was one of those movies I could only watch once and never cared to see again, whereas the first two I have seen countless times and I have yet to really tire of them, even though I'll always pick the second one over the first one any day. What are your opinions on the movies? Which do you like better? Home alone 1 or 2? And is there anyone out there who likes Home Alone 3? I'm genuinely curious to see which movie comes out on top here.
