10 Movie Sequels You Probably Never Knew Existed

10. Home Alone 4: Taking Back The House/Home Alone: The Holiday Heist

Naturally, we all remember the first two Home Alone movies. Most of us probably also remember that there was a Home Alone 3, although given that it introduces a whole new cast (a young Scarlett Johansson among them), it isn't necessarily considered an official part of the series.

However, you'll be forgiven for not knowing that two further Home Alone movies exist... although you're probably not any worse off for having missed them.

First came 2002's Home Alone 4: Taking Back The House, initially made for TV. This one actually had the nerve to bring back the original characters but with new actors, most notably with French Stewart (of TV's Third Rock From The Sun) replacing Daniel Stern as the villianous Marv. Curiously, they didn't bring back Joe Pesci's character Harry, instead introducing Missi Pyle as Marv's equally evil wife.

Later came 2012's Home Alone: The Holiday Heist, another TV movie entry which, perhaps wisely, took the Home Alone 3 route of keeping the format but changing the characters.

The action centres on a brother and sister left home alone after their parents go to a Christmas party when a snowstorm hits, leaving the kids to fend off new would-be burglars: one of whom, somewhat depressingly, is screen legend Malcolm McDowell.
