This made me lol. Love both movies, but the first one is better.

Oh, wow. I love them both. I'd say that, overall, the two films are pretty evenly matched,so I'll go with Lost in New York because I think it has the better Kevin-gettting-the-best-of-the-Wet-Bandits sequence at the end.

Both are great and equal in my mind, but I'll pick the first just cuz of that -- it's the first.

Both of these movies bring back nice memories for me, I think I'll pick the first one but it's close.

The Original is the only one I could set through again.

Wet or Sticky?!? Wet Bandits win it just. 'Have a nice time, bring me back something French'.

Recently revisited both films for a critical review. The original holds up SO much better, and is far less cruel.

The scene between Catherine O'hara and John Candy from Hole Alone 1, is better than everything in Home Alone 2.

These two are virtually identical films, but one scene sets "Home Alone 2" apart: that electricity stunt in the basement after Marv is covered in paint makes me cry every single time. The skeleton/scream bit sends me overboard, hahaha.

Although they are both mainly comedies, Lost In New York had a bit more purpose and feeling to it. The people he met, such as the Toy Store clerk and the pidgeon lady, brought more to the film and makes it better than the first.

They sit right together on my list, with Home Alone on top. I enjoy both greatly.

Lost in New York is one of the worst in theater experiences in my life. Original all the way...

They are both great but the second one feels repetitive as it's basically the exact same plot as the first film in just a different and larger setting. The first film is certainly better.
