I loved this movie growing up. I watched it all the time. I wanted to watch it again a few years ago, but I forgot there was a tarantula in the movie. That quickly brought an end to watching it. Still, maybe I'll brave it and pick up the DVD anwyway.

The Photoshop gods strike again!
WHAT A C**P COVER! Do they think people in their 20's like me want to buy a movie with a c**p family cover like that!
Suppose it would be good if they made it reversable with a more collectable cover as an alternative.
Good I will get it
Its about time. This is a funny movie.
This is exciting, I'll definitely be replacing my existing version with this one...
This movie came out in theatres when I was 6-7 years old so I was all over it......I still think it's a really good movie today! The 2nd one is good too!

Why would they anyway? The 1999 release was presented in 1.85:1 non-anamorphic widescreen, and that didn't have a full-screen edition on the flipside either.

ABOUT TIME, indeed!
I'd be happy with just an anamorphic transfer, but an all new commentary by CC and MC?! that was unexpected, and the "Angels with Filthy Souls feature" sounds pretty sweet.
easiest double dip ever.

Haha, yeah. The commentary should be fantastic!
My only complaint is in the Family Fun banner- a simple Special Edition or Delux Edition banner lwould have done nicely. I'm still picking this up though.

Yeah, like something along the lines of "Family Fun Edition."
...oh wait.

The word "Family" scares me, is there anything in this movie they can take away to make it more "family friendly"? (ex: removing guns from ET) I hope it's just ANOTHER ______ Edition name.
Anyway, the previous version is fine for me, and no need to upgrade unless I can get this cheap. Besides, I'd probably use the old box with the new DVD if I did get it.

I already have the original release so there's no need to upgrade for this one. The special features sound cool but I'm not one to double dip because ultimately it's really just a bonus for me that I'll never even really check out anyway.
As a movie fan Home Alone is very important to me. It was my very first movie I saw in theaters, I was 4 years old and I can actually remember it all. So this most DEFINTLY will go into my dvd collection. It's also one of the few movies that my entire family will sit and watch,laugh, and love all together.
