With the release of Home Sweet Home Alone in 2022 there are now six Home Alone movies, and there's a considerable gulf in quality between the worst and the best. 1990's Home Alone was directed by Chris Columbus and became an instant classic, with a sequel released two years later with almost all of the original cast. These movies have been followed by four more, most with a completely new cast of Home Alone characters. Each of the Home Alone movies has a pretty similar premise: a child somehow gets left home alone (or somewhere else without their guardians) with no parental supervision, while burglars try to break into his location.
