Looks impressive. Hopefully if nothing else it'll have better picture quality than the previous release.
Yeah, I'll be looking out for the better picture quality as well. The previous release needed a lot of improvement there.
smell o vision??????????????

I believe there will be a card which comes withe the DVD, with scratch and sniff squares marked off by number. When the particular number flashes on screen during the movie, you scratch and sniff the appropriate square.
That's what I think...

Hehe, sounds silly. The Chris Columbus/Macaulay Culkin commentary sounds great though.
ABOUT TIME!!!
Better be an equally good SE for the first sequel too -- even if it kinda sucked, who doesn't want both of them to get upgraded?
Sweet! So glad I didnt get it before! that movie is my childhood right there. And yeah they also need to Special Editionize the sequel! Next I hope they upgrade the Chevy Chase Chrismas Vacation! instead of that stupid bare boned snap case dvd!

There is a Christmas Vacation Special Edition. It came out in 2003.

I did like the original, but for some reason 2 stays as my favorite. I want a special edition for 2.
I saw Home Alone 2 first, so I kinda always liked that one best, even though looking back, the first is definitely a better film.
I must admit to this movie being a guilty pleasure of mine. I think I'll add it my Christmas list.
Finally! I have not bought this movie yet becuase I figured that somewhere down the line a special edition would come...and here it is! I can't wait to own one of my favorite family comedy classics.
About damn time. Okay, now where's the SEs for the first two sequels? (I did like "Home Alone 2" and "Home Alone 3", but I despise the carcass that calls itself "Home Alone 4" ).
I didn't care for Home Alone 3 or Home Alone 4. They started to go downhill with Home Alone 2, but I still really really enjoy that one, so Home Alone 3 was a really big fall.
One Fox Comedy from this era that finally gets an SE treatment. Anyways, I love this movie and can't wait to pick up this new edition. Now is there going to be a SE of Home Alone 2 coming in the near future, that's the only one of the sequels that I really want in addition to the first film. But I really hope Home Alone is only the first in a string of Family Comedys that came out around this time (late 80's, early 90's), such as Big and Mrs. Doubtfire, that get much deserved Special Editions. release.
Artwork added...

The artwork isn't too great...
The art is OK, but why mess with the original artwork? It's classic.
Also, why don't Chris Columbus get no love? "From John Huges"? Oh well...

I must be on the list of people who didn't like this film, mainly reasons because it just wasn't funny and the reason why Culkin's parents in the film wouldn't notice where her child was.
awsome was just about to buy this on dvd a few weeks ago but I'm glad I hold off will deffintly buy this one now just need home alone 2
I dont really like the cover/angles, but I might pick this up eventually. Got the other relase last year for Christmas, and noticed the video quality. The commentary sounds interesting.
you know I sensed this was coming. I SENSED it.

Joe Pesci makes this movie. Great childhood movie.

not funny, sure, but you're holding it against a family comedy that it doesn't follow the rules of reality?

The artwork looks stupid. Why not use the old cover used for the 1999 release and put a "Special Edition" banner on it instead? Well, at least with this release Fox wisely decided not to make up some silly SE title like they did with "9 to 5".
Okay I'm definitley excited.
This is a fun movie, I'll be picking this up. SO glad they didn't pull a full screen on this.
